#startups #Slidebean #Bankruptcy

As you may have figured out by now, we love to talk about dead or struggling companies, which usually end up bankrupt. Just in the retail sector last year, Century 21, Brooks Brothers, JCPenney, GNC, JCrew, Guitar Center, and a bunch of others all filed for bankruptcy and filled the news headlines.

But, somehow, if you go to your local mall today, you may find bankrupt stores up and running.

So what gives? Is it a capitalist instrument to keep the economy going? Maybe something more like that.

Let’s talk about Bankruptcy.

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.

Why is Slack worth $27B to Salesforce?

- The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/slidebeanstartups10112201

A few days ago, one of the largest acquisitions in the history of software companies was announced. Salesforce, the customer relations management company, just got Slack for itself for a good $27.7 billion.

That's more than what Microsoft paid for LinkedIn in 2016. It's also more than what Facebook paid for Whatsapp and Instagram, combined.

We already made a video about Slack's valuation back in July this year, when it was already among the fastest-growing tech companies ever. The valuation back then was at around $20 billion.

Six months later, this deal confirms that it's worth $7.7 more billion now. But it all comes with new questions.

Who brings what to the table in such a merger? Is it a win or a loss for Slack? Is it an offensive or defensive move from Salesforce in a market where Microsoft seems to be the ultimate boss?

Let's talk about it in this Company Forensics.

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.

#startups #Slidebean #Google

This one kind of hurts. I liked Google Inbox. Many people did, and most reviews were positive to prove it. There was also a general outcry when it shut down.

It almost got me to enjoy email altogether. And then, of course, Google turned it off. Back to square one, to traditional and burdensome email. If you think the Gmail app is friendly enough these days, just know that it is largely thanks to Inbox.

Features like snoozing messages, auto-generated bundles, or the somewhat creepy but helpful suggestions of smart replies; were first implemented on the Inbox app. And, somehow, they felt more organic and fresher than now on Gmail.

So, let's remember yet another addition to Google's prolific list of deceased projects and companies. One that was good and ultimately got sacrificed to make Gmail what it is today. Welcome to Company Forensics.
