I found the videos really interesting to watch because we see lots of polished pitches here on HN, but here we're seeing everything. These are mostly just going to a VC with a hand out - asking for money. But, that's what pitching a company is. I think a lot of people who haven't done it imagine a slick deck presentation in a boardroom. The reality is that you have to be able to sit down in a coffee shop and sell your idea to someone who has more money than you. As far as the terms - I didn't look it over closely to see if it's a fair or predatory deal. Anybody know if it's a fair deal? |

I guess I am not everyone, so some people can find value where I might not. So, take everything I say with a grain of salt.
You have a point, but I've seen many non-polished, no pitch deck pitches that as rough as they were you walked away with a sense that they are on to something. They have some epiphany or insight and are attempting to turn it into something real. These videos (i didn't watch all) come off as people that have no idea what they are doing or even thinking other than, "I am going to make an app and be a founder."
The problem this guy has is that most serious entrepreneuers won't partake in his process, and this leaves over the large portion of people who don't have access to capital for a very good reason. Not to say there aren't many serious people who struggle with connections and who this guys offering is a good fit for, but his content strategy of sharing all these videos, even if a few have nuggets of gold is going to annoy viewers much like a listicle does after you click through to page 2 or 3 of a slide.
It's time to kill off this mantra of content, content content. We don't need more content, we need content that can't be found anywhere else. (admittedly, this guys content cant be found elsewhere, so that is a plus unless the content continues to be boring and lacking insights.
If you can hire a content writer to run a few searches and write a well written article...THAT IS NOT CONTENT WORTHY OF ROYALTY.
The only content that is king is content that you have to work hard to produce that cannot be found by reading half a dozen articles you found with 2-3 google searches.
