Nach jeder Präsentation und jedem Gespräch kann man seine Präsentation verfeinern und nicht bedachte Fragestellungen beantworten bevor Sie zur Sprache kommen und man schlecht vorbereitet darauf antworten muss. Es gibt bei VC Verhandlungen, wie bei fast allen Verhandlungen auch, so etwas wie ein Momentum. Je mehr Verhandlungen man parallel durchführt, umso mehr Schwung kommt in jede einzelne Verhandlung.

As you can see in this sample video, it's little funny and little education, but it's not very good at either. Which means these guys would rely on people to create the educational videos. But what is in it for the content creators? If it's going to be revenu share, then the outlet with the largest distribution would provide the largest revenu--youtube. If it's recognition and ego, then again youtube give them largest audience. Sure youtube is great for fun videos, but when you have all that 45 million or more eyeball you get the opportunity to put your educational or other stuff out there and if it's any good, you make money from it. RE 33... I am not sure if these guys want to promote being an educational video resource or a fun video sharing site. They advertise themselves as an online educational video resource, if that's what they are doing, then this hack wont cut it. It might be amusing for the techcrunch Hebrew speaking audience that knows Israeli culture, and the importance of fund raising, but if this is the best content they are going to have, they are just going to remain hip only among the 20-30 people who have posted favorable comments about this video.
