Robots you may see killing humans in recent Netflix shows, look a lot like robots that are available in the market. Yes, you may have seen that Black Mirror episode where a robotic dog hunts people, and you may notice the ​uncanny resemblance with Spot​, the newest robot dog from Boston Dynamics. The similarity probably doesn’t mean anything other than a creative license ​from the creators of the show. But the truth is that forward-thinking companies like Boston Dynamics are bringing robots into our lives sooner than we probably expected.

Here starts, Company Forensics: Boston Dynamics.

Softbank $24 Billion down the drain

- Get the Slidebean Agency team to design your slides ►https://youtube.slidebean.com/agency

The legend goes that Masayoshi Son wanted to fund the future's ideas, so he created a $30 BN dollar fund. That's right, $30 BN.

But just before he met with potential investors, he fiddled with the slides and changed the amount. The fund wouldn't be $30 BN. It would be $100 BN.

The investors laughed out loud. He didn't. "Life's too short to think small", he said.

Mobile App Financial Model Tutorial: Projecting Revenue

➡︎ Get our Mobile App Revenue Model: https://youtube.slidebean.com/financial-model-app

If you're starting a business, a Financial Model is a critical tool to estimate the potential of your company. How much do you plan to charge for your product? How much do you expect you'll pay to acquire a customer? How much time do you need to finish development, and how much will those salaries cost? The sooner you know how much extra cash you'll have, the sooner you can deploy it, and the sooner you can yield results, i.e., multiply it. In the startup world, weeks can make a world of difference. So the model that we use at Slidebean, the model that made us profitable, we are making it available to the world as a free download. We’ll show you how it works in this video.

Startup accelerators: are they still worth it?

Are you raising capital for your startup?

Are you ready to pitch to investors? We can help ►

Slidebean has received investments from Startup Chile, DreamIt Ventures, and 500 Startups.

We started our first company in 2011 and had no idea how startups worked. Never heard of venture capital, never heard of the concept of an angel investor.

We were based in Costa Rica, where the startup ecosystem was pretty much non-existent. Still, our company was then accepted in @DreamItVentures Ventures in New York, which sparked a chain of events that led us to you watching this video.

We know how to pitch because DreamIt was a crash course in how the startup ecosystem worked. It was also a soft landing in New York City that allowed me to build a network.

One of the people responsible Steve Barsh, who you probably remember as a guest for some of our videos.

Steve gave the intro talk at the program, and we remember Steve's talk distinctively, as it indeed was the beginning of the journey for me. Today we'll be chatting with Steve about how DreamIt had to pivot their model.

Farmville: patient zero of the micro-transactions plague

We don't just make videos. Slidebean startups navigate fundraising:

#startups #Slidebean #Farmville

When Facebook opened its platform for developers, back in 2009, Farmville leveraged the social platform and soon managed to amass more than 32 million daily players and about 90 million total.

The game is over now, but its legacy of monetization and addictive mechanics on video games is real. Like it or not, the video game industry has inherited a new business model from Zynga, the company behind Farmville.

Let's talk about Farmville's heritage to the video game industry in this episode of Company Forensics.

The Windows Phone: an $8 Billion fiasco

We don't just make videos. Slidebean helps founders navigate Fundraising:

Microsoft is back at it with phones. A foldable phone this time. It's been more than two years since Windows Phones were discontinued in 2017, and they have now released the Surface Duo. It is their take on the dual-screen devices trend that has been building up for a time.

But this one is different for Microsoft. First, it's more of a mini-tablet type of device than just a phone. Most importantly, though, it runs Android instead of Windows.

So, in the light of this supposed second round for Microsoft making phones, let's remember the OG Windows Phone and the epic failure that it was.

Welcome to Company Forensics: Windows Phone
