If you were not working actively on this project for last 4 years because the timing was wrong then don't talk about it. Just don't.

Inactive projects don't matter while talking about it can give an impression that you were struggling for way too long didn't get far with it.

Sidenote: please clearly explain what you're doing on top of the page (above "the fold"). Each section should be explained in writing, not just a video.

Including "for investors" section also looks incredibly weird to me...

The core tech was developed by me around 5 years ago. I co-founded a startup 4 years ago which I'm pivoting into this new product (if my market research is positive). For the past 4 years I been making and selling other products and making my company profitable.
I followed your advice here, I removed the investors part and added a short explanation before each video. I also got the videos transcribed, so that content is in the page as well (for SEO).
Some organizations that connect startups with investors, run pitching events, etc, asked for a video, so, I thought, I might as well publish it. I'll re-think it.
