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.

#startups #Slidebean #digg

Digg was a massive website for sharing news back in 2005. In that boom of the interactive web, it became famous for allowing users to vote for their favorite stories. The most voted would hit the front page, making it a democratically curated news outlet.

If upvoting and downvoting content on the web sounds familiar, it's because Digg was a predecessor of one of today's most popular websites: Reddit. So, why does no one knows anything about Digg nowadays, and how did Reddit take over?

DogeCoin Explained

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.

When you live and breathe Software as a Service, terms like ARR, MRR, LTV, CAC become just part of your daily slang. Gross vs. Net MRR Churn, and how is it different from Customer Churn.

It's a real mess. So much so that for new company employees, I sometimes do a group class on 'understanding SaaS' to make sure they understand the language I speak after 6 years of running a SaaS company.

I figured that instead of doing that every time, we could make a thorough video. So, if you are just joining the Slidebean team, welcome to the team! If you are a stranger, well, I think you are going to find this useful as well.

What ACTUALLY happens during an IPO? - Startups 101

Pitch deck design services for startups looking to scale ► https://checkout.slidebean.com/community/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=SPAC

Going public is the ultimate graduation for an entrepreneur. The black belt. The Academy Award. The Olympic medal. Listing your company in the New York stock exchange. Going public.

More recently, as with everything in business- somebody found a legal way to cheat their way to going public, a method called a SPAC, and it may be one of the drivers to the new stock market bubble of the decade.

But to understand SPACs we need to understand everything from publicly listed companies, so let’s look into the process a company like us would take to get here in today’s company Forensics.

If you've worked for a startup or founded one, you must have heard of employee stock options- but I have found many people, both employees and founders, that just don't get how they work. So much so that 55% of startup employees in the US never exercise their stock options- which breaks my heart as a founder.

Just like any legal startup document, this sounds like it's made deliberately complicated just to mess with you, but I promise you it's not. It's just that dealing with company shares isn't easy.

But that's what our 101 series is here for.

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.
