One company wanted to change that by making language education free. On its way to the top of the tech segment, it earned fans and critics alike.

Duolingo changed learning for millions of people. Or did it? Let's talk about Duolingo in this episode of Company Forensics.

This story started as a joke. However, it became one of the most noticeable cryptocurrencies as of late. From the Olympic games to Musk, Dogecoin has been everywhere.

But, there's a lot more than meets the eye. Though the humor was evident at first, many ask themselves: is it for real, or is it still a joke?

Well, when billionaires swear by it, it's time to start taking it seriously. It's time to talk about Dogecoin and how a joke can change the world.

Why this thumbnail keeps changing - Startups 101

The platform for founders to scale their startup ► https://slidebean.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=yt-thumbnails

#startups #slidebean #thumbnail #youtube

The reason why Youtube thumbnails change is A/B testing. Essentially creators are testing one thumbnail against the other to find the winner, but that test can be repeated repeatedly to optimize through the last consequences.

And this practice extends to newsletters, email subjects, landing pages, websites, and to entire apps.

So I hunted for examples and stories from founders and product managers that could tell me more about what they’ve done and how it has impacted their work.

And I discovered, of course, how we are all essentially guinea pigs of thousands of experiments that are running all across the web, on every single page you visit: experiments ranging from simple color changes to changes that tap into the very core of our psyche.

So in this video, I want to tell you a few of the stories that I discovered, successful A/B tests that companies have run, the platforms they use to run them, and some of the best practices from our own experience doing this ourselves.

The (Real) Untold Story of The Office

- We don’t just make videos. We help startups present to investors. ► https://youtube.slidebean.com/dunder-mifflin

#startups #Slidebean #DunderMifflin

--

In 1949, Robert Dunder and Robert Mifflin founded the company. Initially, it sold brackets but moved to paper, as it was a booming business.

The company would dominate the Northeast. It opened branches in Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, Stamford, Albany, Camden, Nashua, and Scranton.

Even in the face of competition, the company thrived.

Perhaps, that's why the film crew loved him. Well, no, that's not why, but it helped.

Growing a startup is in a nutshell a game of trial and error.

On the product side, you are essentially trying to find the perfect combination of audience, pain point, and solution.

While marketing or sales are of course essential, you can hire the best marketing team with all the money in the world, and they still wouldn’t be able to make a flawed product succeed. We have over a 100 Forensics episodes to prove it.

A customer hypothesis could be ‘first-time startup founders’, a problem hypothesis is that ‘they don’t know how to navigate fundraising’ - and a solution hypothesis could be an intensive accelerator program, or a Skillshare course, or a suite of SaaS tools that guide you through the steps.

A company’s lifetime is how many times they can iterate on these three ideas to find product-market fit before they run out of money. That’s it!
