    The creator economy (and the thin line we CAN'T cross) | Sidebean

    The creator economy (and the thin line we CAN'T cross) We're not a Youtube channel. Our platform helps founders scale their startups ► https://slidebean.com/youtube #startups #slidebean #influencers Slowly but surely I’ve started to accept my place as an ‘influencer’. My Twitter bio says ‘accidental Youtuber’, and I very much believe that is the case. Because technically, as an influencer, I cheated my way to your screen. This Youtube channel was/is a marketing campaign for Slidebean: up until recently, it was an expense for the company. It was funded by our marketing budget. And don’t get me wrong, it has done wonders to get Slidebean in front of people, we have recovered that money tenfold; but as a self-contained business, this channel only started making money this year. We got to buy fancy gear, and build ourselves a studio, and hire a team, and fly places- which obviously made us grow faster, it would have taken me so much longer to build 300K followers by myself. So I’m a fan of the Sams, and the Johnnys, and the Kris’ that just built it themselves, on their talent, and the skin of their teeth. The Internet was just a megaphone to their skills and the content they produce. And for the longest time, the only way to monetize that talent was putting ads on it, or selling and endorsing things. But today we have Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee- platforms where people pay their own money to support influencers' craft. There’s also a shady world of internet gurus, using their influence to sell thin air. So this is an incredible new phenomenon that I’ve wanted to talk about for so long. -- 0:00 Influencer Economy - Intro 1:48 Influencer Economy - The First Influencer Campaign 3:49 Influencer Economy - The origins of internet influencers 7:21 Influencer Economy - How Instagram changed the game 9:02 Influencer Economy - The expert influencer 11:29 Influencer Economy - The lifestyle influencer 13:20 Influencer Economy - Advertising 14:46 Influencer Economy - Paying for content Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

Angel investors frequently ask “what’s your exit strategy?” And at the seed and Series A stages, often founders talk about their exit strategy unprompted. We think that’s a mistake. Early on you should be focused on building a big and impactful company and dominating your market. Do that and the right monetization event will come along. But from the beginning, it’s important to understand how exits work and what possible outcomes may look like. Most first-time founders don’t realize how, when, and why common exit scenarios unfold. So let’s cover the primary ways an exit can occur, why and when they occur, and how to maximize exit opportunity value for you, your investors, and your team. #startups #Slidebean #DreamIt 0:00 - Intro 1:17 Acquiring a Company 2:40 Where buyers come from 3:52 What investors want 4:54 Another type of exit: Soft landing 5:54 Getting acquired: what to do next? 6:45 A Public Company Subscribe to DreamIt Ventures YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/user/DreamItVentures Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-exits?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

I also have a couple of examples of companies that pivoted from one model to the other, and how the transition went. The world of startups was essentially transformed when we figured out SaaS. When companies pivoted from a one-time sale to a monthly subscription, a whole world of possibilities was unveiled. SaaS allows predictable revenue. It lets us estimate customer lifetime value with unprecedented accuracy. These days you can even raise capital or get a loan based on your MRR.

Slidebean helps founders scale their startups: The Slidebean Platform ► https://yt.slidebean.com/c4n Join the Startup Club, a crunch of startup news for busy founders 🕶️ ► https://yt.slidebean.com/qf5 -- Nowadays, with just a couple of taps, your favorite food is at your door. Delivery apps, especially in this hectic 2020, are a staple in our day-to-day lives. With thousands of restaurants to choose from, ease of use, and the comfort of staying at home, it's no wonder why these apps are such a success. But food delivery technology is also controversial. Accusations of monopolistic behavior and stingy earnings for contractors have surfaced lately. Plus, there's always the question: will we have to stay indoors for much longer? So, when delivery giant DoorDash quietly announced its IPO in late 2020, some were excited, but others were cautious. But, how did DoorDash get to this point? We'll tell you all about it in this episode of Company Forensics. #startups #Slidebean #doordash 0:00 - DoorDash - Intro 0:51 - DoorDash - Origins 2:40 - DoorDash - Growth and funding 4:37 - DoorDash - Big investments, bigger questions 6:44 - DoorDash - Controversies and profit? 9:24 - DoorDash - The famed IPO DoorDash pitch deck template: https://slidebean.com/templates/doordash-pitch-deck-template Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-doordash?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Check out Tom Nash's analysis on DoorDash IPO and many other interesting videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJwKCyEIFHwUOPQQ-4kC1Zw -- Follow us Twitter aka X: http://twitter.com/slidebean LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/company/slidebean Instagram: http://instagram.com/slidebean Caya Twitter aka X: http://twitter.com/cayahere LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caya/ Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.
