The other day I posted a YouTube video of Kevin Rose demo’ing a very early version of Digg, and talked about the importance of capturing the early days of a startup on video. Scrybe is an unlaunced startup doing this now to market the company, but in the future if they are successful we’ll look back and be glad the video exists.
Robert Scoble is now creating high definition videos of many hot young startups for his new show ScobleShow. I just watched the 34 minute video for Bluedot - good stuff. They even announce a minor new product at the end.
I totally agree. Having just made a new documentary on Silicon Valley (In Search of the Valley), where we talked to a bunch of people involved with Apple in the early days, and other early startups. It would have been great to have access to archive video filmed during the time, in additional to some great retrospective retelling of events.
Hey,
Off the topic, but you should really read this : http://blog.payperpost.com/2006/10/our-disclosure-policy.html
I’m also doing a site on very early stage startups here in New England. I do interviews with the founders of these outfits, get their backgrounds, the story of how their company came to be, who their competitors are, how they plan to market themselves, what their funding strategy will be and what end game they have in mind.
I’m not Robert Scoble with all the resources he has at his avail, but it’s a pretty good site if I do say so myself. Check it out at http://www.zbiz.tv.
Michael, sorry if this is self promotional, but I just wanted to make sure I was on the radar screen of those who are interested in this kind of content as well.
Thanks,
Andy
