Company Forensics

[@billhanna2148]

I have found ALL of your work enlightening, compact, beautiful and engaging to watch. The only time I do not watch is when I do not have the time, so I have to find the time to watch your work. Yes I like all of your work and will continue to watch it. A big fan.

[@cliffordganaseb8748]

Company Forensics 4sho

[@Strikeshd]

Yes, you are a KZbinR... but these are the videos I look forward to, high-quality, creative, story-driven, (really) animated.... all I'm saying is keep doing.

[@WangMotions]

Bro just casually drops his dad was a World Cup footballer

[@jackiedelvalle]

He's actually mentioned it before in relation to who's the most famous! (Discussion with his daughter, iirc.)

[@DeepfriedBaby]

Not just a world cup footballer, but SCORED. That's incredible

[@darknessguy4221]

Tbh, I love this type of content. The videos that you've been producing since 3 years ago feels like a video essay. You're more of Art + Tech like Nerdwriter and other video/film analysis youtubers out there. This is art at it's finest.

[@slidebean]

Nerdwriter was probably one of the first KZbin names I remember. I’ve binged watched all his videos, so probably no coincidence if you find similarities. It does feel amazing to be in the same sentence as one of my role model channels. Glad you like the new content, it’s definitely an escape valve for my team’s creative side. - Caya

[@mnesvat]

completely agree on the Art + Tech part the video transitions and the story goes very smoothly fun to watch!!

[@_eknock]

Hey Caya, the startup content on how to start to raising capital has really helped me out. Love from Kenya

[@seangriffin3601]

I work as a consultant for companies looking to pitch new ideas to boards, investors, etc. So, I still use your early startup slide videos as a great starting point for all my clients since I found y'all in 2018. I find myself rewatching them at least every other month. But the content you are creating now brings me back weekly/daily. I love deep-diving businesses and learning how they function. Even as my life gets more and more chaotic and I find less time for KZbin, I keep returning to slidebean videos. I am always a month or two behind, but I hope you make more videos like this!

[@michaelchachashvili1098]

I love every video you make! I watched over 10 times some of them. I count your channel as one of the best to me, a series fail-prenuer (still trying to make it..!) Thanks for these great videos!

[@slidebean]

Ha! Hope our new explainers on Startup Club don’t require 10 watches to grasp. - Caya (Aren’t we all still trying to make it?)

[@michaelchachashvili1098]

Well, its more about me rather than about the videos (humbly naming it, are F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!). Sometimes the more I watch, the better I understand .. TIP: I think it will be great to prepare these young people to mental resilience... I noticed that to be not an easy characteristic to develop in us...! Thanks, you are great, love every minute of your content! @@slidebean

[@sjk27]

Congratulations Caya & team, been following since 2017. At that time, there was no better content related to startup 101 stuff. Then later, forensics was like watching a short film over the weekend about do’s & dont’s for founders. Thank you for doing this - kudos & heartfelt wishes to your team. Stay creative & best!

[@slidebean]

Wow!! That was a long time ago. Thanks for sticking with us for so long- hope to see you for many more years!! 🫶🏽 - Caya

[@blckmedia2072]

My "watch later" list is basically your entire channel! As a struggling entrepreneur (still trying to hit the right target lol), your content hits me right in the feels (in the best way possible!). I've learned SO much from you, and honestly, the laughs help too. I've rewatched it so many times, soaking up every piece of advice. You've become my go-to resource for navigating the entrepreneurial journey! Your content is insightful, relatable, and most importantly, actionable. I've seen a real shift in my literal decision making thanks to your guidance. Thanks to you and your hard working team for being such a positive force in this community! You're an inspiration to us who keep pushing forward even though most times we aim & miss. Keep up the amazing work! Keep doing what you're doing, you're seriously one of the best! With love from Zim!! 🌍🇿🇼

[@slidebean]

First appreciation message for the dad jokes. Thanks 🫶🏽 Glad this video got watched right away. Best of luck with your startup’s journey 🙌 - Caya

[@menupp1269]

Caya yo he estado viendo tus videos desde el 2020, cuando co-funde mi startup Menüpp. No sabes cuantas veces usamos las lecciones de startup 101... aun hoy vuelvo a videos antiguos a verlos. Gracias por tu canal y equipo! Me han acompañado desde el inicio en este camino que puede ser solitario

[@slidebean]

Queeé!? Increíble. De verdad puede ser solitario el camino. Ojalá hayamos ayudado en algo a tu startup, y podamos seguir ayudando con los nuevos vídeos de @StartupClubTV - Caya

[@jack.wu.]

As a tech founder, I am very happy that I come across your video! I learned a lot from the videos that you guys made over the years. Even tho it wouldn't be as related to start-up anymore going forward, but you guys still opens up a lot of insightful topics and answering important questions, just in a bigger picture now. Keep up the great work, and all the best to the Slidebean team!

[@slidebean]

That's the idea! Thanks for understanding. Still doing those deep startup dives at Startup Club :) www.youtube.com/@StartupClubTV

[@Ale.alvargas93]

Para siempre fidelizado a este canal, para cualquier founder-techstartup related, uds son una mina de oro/conocimiento.. sigan en la vía ninja y delen con todo 💪💪gracias sobre todo! ❤ pura vida!

[@efemarlacdaying6062]

I like your narration. It's not boring. I like practically anything your produce, especially company forensics. Keep up the good work!

[@PoolMedia]

You were one of the reasons why I decided to start my own startup and I love the format and editing style that you guys implement into your videos. I love the 'Company Forensics' as it delves deeper into certain parts of a startup that many other chanels don't cover. In addition, you guys make it insanely insteresting to watch. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@Rombcgr]

Im a brazillian millenial start-up founder. We are beggining traction phase. The main content i luke is the start-up 101 and i still Re-watch some of those videos from time to time. Thanks you very much for your work and effort! Helped me alot as a founder!

[@druehlmann]

Start-up CEO here - I have been watching your channel for quite some time. Your content is helpful, informative without BS, and entertaining to draw me in (nearly) every time. The company forensics series was amazing. I think you showed the sheer complexity of putting out good content, you have a full team of video editors, content creators, designers, and videographers to develop your videos. If you are a start-up company, I guess you need to budget a serious amount of cash to create even somehow acceptable videos. It's a trade-off, but I think KZbin has changed since you started your channel. Maybe it's just the wrong platform to start out in 2024?

[@mohammedhelal5778]

The startup videos are actually what brought me in, and the documentaries are what kept me around.

[@louislemperle1991]

This is a great video. Thank you for taking the risk of making this one. Continue making video on the impact of tech ! I just love them!!

[@slidebean]

🤞🏽 so the algorithm agrees. Thanks for watching and sticking around 🫶🏽 - Caya

[@Derrick_Mutuma]

Hey Caya and the slidebean team, Startup founder here. I've enjoyed your content for some time now and we adopted the financial model template as part of my companys' operations structure.

[@TalhaGh-cd9yl]

As a startup founder, I've found your content not only resonates with me more given your background, but your insights far more unique and insightful too! It's lonely as a startup, and it's nice to see and hear info about other businesses!

[@slidebean]

Great to hear. It is a lonely journey- but you should make a conscious effort to find other entrepreneurs around you. Some of my favorite conversations happen when I can find peers to share the journey with (and vent some frustration). - Caya

[@gorkagarcia8715]

It's incredible that your father scored a goal in the world cup

[@AbhayPratapSingh_NIT]

As a startup enthusiast, I love your indept stories about startups. The wrongs and the rights.

[@furykillerBZ]

I started watching your series from company forensics. I've been in tech and business for a little over 10 years, both on the startup side and the large corporation side. I find this content extremely educational both in understanding my own industry and the parts of my industry that I'm not involved in. I'm not a founder, but would like to own and run my own company one day. This content continues to be educational and informative. Tech nomad and millennials decoded are also extremely impactful in understanding the world that we live in and why people might think or feel the way they do. I've actually shared those videos with my wife (who is more of a creative entrepreneur and less of a tech person) and she has enjoyed them as well. Thanks for the years of content, and hopefully this helps you and the team decide what to do next

[@JoelJohnson24]

Yes, we love your content. You're literally the only Saas startup I know that uses KZbin for marketing, but goes hard like a pro KZbinr. So startup founders are analysing you to see if being a KZbinr is a viable option to market their startup. That's why these videos are important.

[@mikeflex1234]

Hi, what i like about that channel is the detail informations in your content, although i can see the tech influence of that channel but sometimes it goes on tangent to talk about social issues, and the cherry on top is that, from time to time you often speak about your family in your content which to me humanize the channel, people can relate.

[@phillipfeng4573]

Whatever you guys are doing is working! Keep the goodies coming!

[@misfitfounders]

I love how transparent you are Caya. This video is a big inspiration for me ❤

[@misfitfounders]

How and super congrats on reaching 500k subs 🎉

[@slidebean]

Thanks, Biro. Hope to catch of to your gear budget soon 😉 - Caya

[@teejman]

Just discovered your channel today when I was researching about co-founder dynamics! Love what I've watched so far and looking to bingewatching more of your content 🙌🏼 I'm from the Philippines and your story is so cool!

[@sylvanuskateile]

I think I among your first subscribers. My reason for subscribing was learning about startups of course, but the way you tell stories makes watching every content you upload. So just keep uploading

[@Simon-zan]

My partner and I have been subscribers since around 2020 and your videos helped us build our businesses. It's funny because now the startup tips videos are less relevant and the content you create now is exactly what I'm after - so the transition has worked perfectly. Caya you're one of my favourite youtube personalities, keep it up!

[@slidebean]

Wow, hadn’t thought of this. Amazing. - Caya

[@DeliaSlucutt]

Congrats on the 500k mark. What an achivement! I only just saw this video, KZbin algorithm didn’t show it to me for 3 months. My feedback is I love the diversity and twists and changes over past years. It’s all interesting to me in different ways. My favourite KZbinrs are accidental KZbinrs - they’ve got in it to show their interests and grown from there. The fact that you are all interested in what you’ve created shows, so even when it’s not my perfect subject it is still interesting to me. I get energy from your interest. And you are always curious and questioning things, pondering why. I’m probably unusual in this approach to watching KZbin but that’s one person’s viewpoint.

[@techfanjustme6609]

I loved the company forensics series, although I am subscribed to Cold Fusion too, I still loved watching them. I love to hear success stories and failure stories about companies, and founders, because I find them inspirational, and that's a whole lot more value than some company offering me AI-powered pitch deck layouts.

I'm a huge Slidebean channel fan, your videos are so captivating, entertaining, and educational. Every time I try to put a video as background while working, I can't, my attention goes back to your videos, man. Hope you keep growing and continue doing such amazing content, with wow delivery/edition. My Fav is Company Forensics.

[@gabrielvpy]

yo me topé con este canal buscando ayuda con my deck ya ni me acuerdo en que año. pero fue bien al principio. soy un founder como vos. la evolución del canal me encantó. veo casi todos tus videos. me encanta la forma en que narran las historias y tambien el hecho de que ves el mundo desde la óptica de un latino, que también es particular. me parece acertada la idea de dividir tu contenido en dos canales. este canal esta bueno para contar estas historias pero el contenido de los videos para startups es oro.

[@AnalystAcademy]

Fantastic content Caya! Been a fan for a while, and definitely identify with some of the same struggles around KZbin vs. main business growth. Thanks for the inspiration! -Paul

[@shawn2521]

Probably the best video I’ve seen from you guys. Interesting and insightful.

[@ally6438]

Tech startup entrepreneur here. I love to watch interesting videos on big macro topics as I work. So I sorta see the overlap with why I like your channel. I’d probably be bored with nitty gritty startup stuff. Oh and I also enjoy you presenting, you seem genuine and down to earth. Keep it up!

[@Onesmo]

I don't know how many times I watched the Company Forensics series. They are what first drew me to your channel, that and the startup content.

[@davidnduka3618]

Perhaps the best youtube channel for new startup founders ever created. Thanks Caya 🎉

[@slidebean]

🫶🏽 you’re more than welcome. - Caya

[@Errox358]

Company Forensics and What's the Catch? are what I am looking forward to the most. Truly high quality content, the whole channel really. Your channel is a perfect example of how to use KZbin sensibly to promote your own brand. And I don't see any issues with having sponsors as well. So I hope it pays off to you. Big thanks and love from Germany!

[@aprildev1]

I love Slidbean but I will always see Slidebean as a tech startup and not a KZbin channel. I appreciate that at least the startup related content got a new place to thrive. Still I love Slidbean and I'm really happy for you!!!!

[@slidebean]

We haven’t stop being a tech startup, I suppose. Just embracing that we seem to be KZbinrs now. Thanks for watching all this time 🫶🏽 - Caya

[@paett9]

Keep going! You guys are one of two youtube channels I watch every video uploaded from and I would hate it to be cut down to one. As a side note, this is my first ever youtube comment so you've done something right and I've been here since 2006. Thank for all the great videos over the years and I look forward to many more to come and watch you guys hit millions of subscribers. Love from Norway

[@edouardschneiders0]

I love the recent video's about start-ups / tech / economics (and it's influence on society around the world), some of my favourite video's of the last year!

[@denis_MXMV]

I discovered your channel in 2020. And became a fan since. Your videos are incredible. You are legit one of the best creators on this platform ever. I often tell my friends and colleagues some things that I learned from your videos. Thank you Caya and the team, your Russian fan

[@tuams]

One of the things I appreciate about you Caya, is that you say things as it is. I appreciate the startup videos but they are not very relatable at this moment but forensics and your travel, explainer videos are very interesting. I don't know what direction you'll be heading but I'll be following you on this journey!

[@slidebean]

Yup- we understood that startup videos aren’t useful for everyone, but hope we can keep you hooked on the others 😏 - Caya

[@fraccional]

I'm totally copying you Caya! already got my cofounders in on it, so we're going with the youtube strategy. We're posting our 6th video today. (all in Spanish, you're welcome to watch) You have no idea how much your content has been helping us since day 0 in 2021. Thanks so much for the good work! regards from Santiago, Chile!

[@slidebean]

Cheers back to Chile. I lived there for 6 months as part of Startup Chile batch 8. Hope I have an excuse to visit again soon. - Caya

[@joshuachettiar1573]

I started watching you guys because of your Social Network video and I haven't stopped since, and a large reason for that is just the diversity in content I can watch in the extremely accessible format you guys have essentially boiled down to a T. I understand that this is probably is selfish, but I would hate to see you discontinue any of the already existing series you have going on. Also, if you do end up reading this comment, I need to let you know that I used your VC/Startup content to prepare for an several PE/VC Law firm Interviews as a Law Student in my final year. Cannot express how grateful I am for that, and I wish you guys nothing but the best!

[@slidebean]

Reading every single comment for this video :) The social network video worked so well for us, probably because of a mix of pop culture, known story and deep dive. So glad you found the VC content useful!! Did you get the job? - Caya

[@ma7moudkhalil]

Caya, I watched every single video on this channel, and I learnt from you more than anywhere else. I don’t really know how to express my gratitude, but thank you man for everything. I'm definitely sticking to see what’s coming.

[@slidebean]

Amazing to hear. Please keep the feedback coming, even when we're straying in the wrong direction. - Caya

[@rachelsohjf]

I started watching your slidebean pitch deck videos first when I was preparing for my own startup back in 21' and 22' - then came the company forensics videos that definitely caught my attention (way post pandemic - because during the pandemic I was busy with the startup to be watching much youtube lol). The span of topics in the company forensics videos were always a joy - I think you guys have gotten the format of the storytelling just right. Career choice wise - well, life never really goes "according to plan" at all isn't it? Sometimes we discover new interests and then we run with it. Do what feels right deep down I suppose.

[@Atemosta]

this was such an unexpected, transparent, and beautiful piece from you all slidebean the vulnerability of how you speak to the camera now compared to earlier videos is astounding - i might take a note or two from this channel and start producing stuff more regularly!

[@benjaming.9971]

Hey Congrats you did a great Job and thanks for all your nice content🙏

[@misikir]

Slidebean is a KZbin channel 😅, and Caya is the face of it. I believe your or your team's opinion/take is what makes very relatable outside US. I wonder what is your viewers distribution globally 🤔

[@abip.s.1217]

Hey Caya and the entire Slidebean team! I love this channel so much guys!! I started watching from the blackberry episode and all videos since and also rewatched many of your videos multiple times. I love it when you talk about history with the animated timelines. Youve inspired me so much that i kinda try to copy you during my presentations. You have instilled in me the desire to make similar type of videos on youtube which i am looking forward to do soon. Id say keep going team and keep inspiring. Thank you❤

[@slidebean]

This is amazing to hear. Drop your first video here when you do :) - Caya

[@tomsaycheez]

I only discovered you a year ago, since then I've been watching every single video you put out. I love this channel. Keep going! ❤

[@PerfectPencil]

I'm not even sure how many channels i'm subscribed to but I will click on EVERY slidebean video I see. Caya is super charismatic and the topics and production is really solid. I've been wanting to start my own business for years and I plan on using slidebean for when I'm ready. So, all things considered... you guys got a pretty good formula.

[@copperhands]

The clarity of your communication puts you ahead of must. The editing style, not overdoing but still keeping it catchy, is engaging and the topics you choose are overall of interest to me. Am at a point I'll watch whatever you put out because I know it will be good. Even if it's a topic I've heard 100 times, I would still click because I know the perspective will be fresh. (Good luck if you decide to give your take on the Apple Vision Pro). I particularly like the Company Forensics series; but any explainer video is a must for me. Your take on deconstructing what's around us and what moves the world makes clear the impact on our generation. I wish more solutions would be implemented... For me, you're a KZbinr, and Marques is lucky to have you as his peer.

[@slidebean]

Haha- we’re staying off AVP for a bit. Thanks for the kind words. Means a lot. - Caya

[@nunom1351]

please keep doing this type of content, your format is much more enjoyable and approachable than many other channels, and your warm personality and the fun explanations of the animations really do it. I think this really showcases the storytelling ability of the company to someone who wants slidebean's pitch deck skills, as a perfect companion. and you show how much you can turn information into a story, while being very aware of the startup and tech scene and its underbelly.

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

Love the stories you tell! Hope you can continue to grow! Congrats on 500k subs!

[@BibDrg]

Great that you are doubling down on the content! Love the videos

[@cristianovidiupavel8293]

I absolutely love everything you do! I've seen all your videos and I love both the behind the scenes and the explanatory ones, I love them because they make me feel part of the startup ecosystem and I'm honestly convinced that this is your business and your target. Sorry if I never write but as an entrepreneur I never have time!

[@slidebean]

Haha. Makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to write on this video. It does mean a lot. - Caya

[@yikuno6597]

I started watching your videos back in pandemic days and a year later i started a company. I learned a lot about startups from you so thank you !! for new content idea , bring guest or podcast about startups

[@vg3001]

Love all startup content, specially videos like this, I value your transparency and how it feels real. I feel like you guys are real people, real entrepreneurs that are telling everything to a friend. That is what is different, you have a very down to earth approach. I think it's your take on things more than the topic itself what makes you different! Never stop!

[@slidebean]

Thanks for pointing this out, we hadn't really thought about it and you are absolutely right (especially in this day and age of agenda-based content). Cheers! - Caya

[@rkwn187]

Your videos, channel, and stories have inspired me to start my own KZbin channel. Thank you for all you've done to inspire other content creators. I love your Company Forensics series.

[@navitheman1]

Honestly truly have enjoyed seeing this channel grow. Alot of great information and quality has improved significant. Definitely one of the channels I get excited when a new video drops.

[@slidebean]

Thanks for getting excited and watching (especially this one) - Caya

[@tairuabdulmateen105]

I am a huge fan of everything you do, I hope I one day grow to be a tech startup CEO because I have learnt a lot from everything you have dropped. Every story, every forensics, every single video. You all are great.

[@GuitarMan96]

I love this channel and your videos. Slidebean as a product is never something I’ll need, but you have an amazing talent on the story telling/ content creation side of things. Not sure if that’s helpful in whatever decision you’re trying to make but I hope the videos continue!

[@TeamIzlude]

I really enjoy this channel. It's really hard to make this style of content engaging, and you manage to do it consistently well. I think the personal story side of this sphere isn't told too often, and I'd like to see more of that in the future: what life is like for people in the trenches, etc.

[@kadauber]

I watch your channel because I like learning about how the world of technology works! I'm a programmer and an avid tech consumer, so I'm deeply interested in how the business of technology shapes people, the world, and the future. It doesn't hurt that your videos are super entertaining and accessible too! Thanks for doing what you do.

[@rulianish]

Dude, I've been following your channel for early days, you guys delivered amazing content from the start and it never stopped, you meet or accede Johnny Harris on content + presentation, the fact you guys arent at 10M+ subs is criminal but you'll get there.

[@JosiGold1]

Pura vida Caya! Siga haciendo mas videos!

[@slidebean]

Pura vida!! 🇨🇷🇨🇷 - Caya

[@XEQUTE]

I love your honesty i like you kept everything transparent

[@roger_pike]

Love the videos and watch ALL of them. Started with the company forensics and love the explainer videos. Keep up the great work! Sending love from Brazil.

[@GeoffMitchellProductions]

I believe this channel is operating at an very engaging level. The video production is awesome! As a former videographer and editor, keep it up! I would also recommend collaboration with other channels. Some of the most notable and my personal favorites The Futur D4Darius Sideways

[@grantgreeff]

Hey Caya, I think this has been an excellent inflection point where you and your creative team have ended up creating a KZbin business on the back of a tech business. And as a consequence of being authentic about the lifecycle since the beginning, your community has grown as you and the team have evolved as well. To you personally, I think you should recognise that what was extrinsic value in the beginning, has changed to an intrinsic value where you’ve formed a passion for creating content independent of the Slidebean business. I hope this helps.

[@markmukunga1084]

millenials decorded, company forensics, startup 101. i love those videos and i usually go to your channel checking for new content. i love the animations, and the storylines.

[@slidebean]

First mention of Millennials Decoded in the comments. Glad to hear it. 🫶🏽 - Caya

[@markmukunga1084]

I am a millenial myself and i relate A LOT to the videos. @@slidebean

[@CorusM]

Congratulation Caya, great content. I never miss an episode.

[@slidebean]

Incredible 🥲. Thanks so much! I gotta ask, which are your favorite episodes? - Caya

[@iFrancisDC]

Really well done on this achievement. Lovely to see ! Go for it!

[@slidebean]

🫶🏽 thanks!!

[@kittananj]

I start watching this channel mainly on Startup/Company Forensics since I am always fascinated about what happened to failed companies and startups. However, I always love the startup-related contents, which helps me a lot as I am planning to incorporate my startup on early Q3 of this year (and, yes, I use the financial model from you for projecting my startup, as well!) I found your videos truly useful (and also in the new channel) for myself and my (future) venture, which, currently, sit right around the ideation and pre-seed stage. And, I would like to congrats on surpassing 500K subscribers. Also, hello from Thailand!

[@somosvla]

We just love that you are a founder too and you tell us really good stories about the tech world and kind inspire us to do or not to do things.

[@peterwolftips]

I have learned so much from you over the years and I'm mainly here for startup related education. Although on the other hand, your documentaries are engaging and informative. Love the new style but I'd be sad to lose the great startup explainers. So I guess I have to subscribe to the other one as well. 😊

[@slidebean]

You said it!! - Caya

[@juanmdq]

Long time subscriber.. your angle is great! Me parece que encontraron algo muy explotable! El contenido que generan es informativo, entretenido, util, y la produccion es excelente! No tienen nada que envidiarle a otros canales mas grandes o antiguos. Si creen que pueden monetizar y rentabilizar esta oportunidad denle para adelantE! Saludos!

[@LondonICCJacques]

Great job. You are down to earth and open. Makes for a great host! I would say what brings me back is not the series as such but what "insider" views you have based on facts but with your uniquely applied intuition. Like moneyball...

[@slidebean]

Ok ok. We maybe don’t provide that insider info as often. We’ll try. - Caya

[@andreshm1]

Caya, great video - glad you made it. Sometimes we want to know about the "behind the scenes". Your content is always great and useful - so much that I dint think I miss one video. Thanks for bringing great value to YT. 👍

[@dahcrown]

I'm a developer that will one day have a startup, the company forensics and other series teach me so much and helps me shape my mind. Thank you for all you do

[@slidebean]

Great to hear! You’re very welcome 🫶🏽

[@eagesikavlogs]

You know you're an OG subscriber when you've seen the evolution of Caya's hairstyles lol I still go back to your startup 101 every now and then with the startups I help grow. I love either content. Also, as a growth marketer myself, you can explore organizing meetups both to generate leads and just help communities grow

[@slidebean]

Got it. We definitely want to make more growth marketing stuff, but we haven’t found footing yet. - Caya

[@StephenTownsley]

I am just a viewer. I didn't even know what a pitch deck was until you mentioned it. I am over 60, not a startup founder, work in tech and just enjoy the content on business and technology. That's really it. I am sorry that viewing doesn't make you much money. However, I appreciate the quality of the content.

[@slidebean]

Well that was kind of the point. We’ve accepted what this channel is, and are now doubling down on creating awesome content. - Caya

[@danielgadsden7543]

The production quality and just plain watchability and you and the team is why i watch everything you post. Excited to see what comes next for you guys

[@slidebean]

Excited to have you around :) - Caya

[@overseasstudentsaustralia]

Congratulations for 500k Caya and Team. Amazing work with such insightful videos. Love this channel and i can totally relate to the fact that we sometimes unintendedly become a content creator/KZbinrs even though our primary business is something else. That name thingy is so relatable when people see a content creator on street, they don't remember the creator name rather a company name. Which i guess is fine as it means brand awareness. Anyway, i hope your other team continue working on updating the software as well (as we love to use it for our media kit and report presentations). I can see you doing really well in the tech, productivity and content creator knowledge. I think that is where you can pitch your product (slidebean) to content creators too. They can use it for creating media kit from their website or may be get payment from customers directly inside your platform. I think i need to shut up now and do some work myself. Well i wish your team all the best. Keep rocking with amazing content as always. Much love and wishes from the land down under.

[@ChicoValenciaTv]

I'm a big fan of your story documentaries guys, keep them coming!

[@gustavoaraujo1494]

I'm glad this video finally came. This duality across YT and product (and YT as product versus YT as funnel) was always under my understanding about Slidebean as well. Maybe, given the size of your community, in the future you might use it to bootstrap other types of your products and tests its adoption. Keep up the good work and salute from Brazil! :)

Ha! This makes me glad for finally making this video. We did (finally) understand that most of you in this community are not Slidebean-Product customers, so there's no real point in pushing that too you. If you discover it organically, great. As an entrepreneur, a KZbin channel is a superpower: access to a free audience to launch new products. When we have a new product to launch, we will; but in the meantime- it's just about making the audience even bigger.

Congratulations to you and your team! I've learnt a lot from your channel in the years and applied a lot of the principles and teachings into my business. I hope you guys continue making youtube videos, they are very informative and educational. Love and respect from Zambia🇿🇲

It's been amazing to be able to follow you on your journey as your business priorities have evolved. I've always found your genuine, honest style to presenting really inspiring. Please keep doing what you're all doing!

I find that I really enjoy ask off the series I have encountered, thus far. Company Forensics, What’s the Catch, Tech Nomad, and Millennials Decoded (I am an early Gen X, with a Millennial daughter and Gen Z son so I have a lot of perspective). I find the way you present to be very engaging and relatable. I find the research you do, and the clear foundation of knowledge to be both compelling and easily digestible. Your videos are interesting, which is not always a given. I tried to leave a comment on your El Salvador video, where you asked to compare it to your first Tech Nomad video, but my KZbin client froze and I lost the content. In summary, your growth in the Tech Nomad series is the change from starting out with a specific story to tell and the travel is really just a backdrop. But now you have an angle to investigate and let your experiences create the story. It is a far, far better approach and leaves room for surprises and side quests, on your path to the final story. Keep up the very good work.

Amazing, thanks for the insight. Sorry we don't pay that much attention to GenX, I don't seem to have that many in my immediate circle. You hit the nail on the head on how the Nomad videos develop. When we travel we don't have the story, we're just researching it as we go, and trying to document whatever we can. Caya

I just started watching your videos last year and they are amazing. I even send them to my friends. I am not in the tech industry or in Silicon Valley. I am in the energy sector from the southern part of the US. I say that just so you know the videos you make are interesting to people outside of tech. I enjoy the majority of you content but Millennials Decoded was how I got sucked in. I am early 30s and I talk about preparing for retirement and understanding Gen Z. Thanks for the great content.

[@KarlBunker]

It's funny what twists and turns life can throw you sometimes, eh? I think I started watching this channel in the Company Forensics era. I've always been interested in stories of how businesses go wrong or go right, though I have no real involvement in business myself. I love how well-made and informative your videos are, and I love how honest and unpretentious Caya is in his presentation. Those three points will keep me subscribed as I see what direction(s) you take the channel in next.

[@junkfoodjunkie1]

You didn't ask but what I like about this channel and its videos the most is that you seem to know and enjoy what you're talking about without sounding like a snob.

[@slidebean]

Haha, ok ok, got it. Glad I don't. I didn't know jack about startups ~10 years ago, it's not that far back. - Caya

[@mohammedsillah6595]

Me personally I love all your series, been watching since the pandemic your storytelling is just impeccable great videos too💯 like why isn't this channel at 5mil subs already

[@slidebean]

Doing our best to get there ASAP. I think our main problem is on topic selection- doubling down on picking broader, better, irresistible topics. - Caya

[@DoctorFnance]

Slidebeans played a part in me becoming a youtuber, i am lucky enough to pivot into youtube using another income to experiment (medical background/company). Yes you did encourage entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts to click and listen to what slidebean had to say. So there is a venn diagram for content creator-tech startup-entrepenour. So yes, you have a loyal fanbase, and you will reach a million fans with this content style 👏 👌

[@evanfinn6454]

Every video you make, I watch. You guys do an absolutely amazing job.
