Here is another slide from Vencorp’s Mashable Startup Showdown. This video is a bit longer at 2:49 and this time around I’m discussing (in detail) Bizak’s current revenue model. The discussion also talks about our plans to syndicate our data via XML (available soon for $4,000/month) and the integration of professional consulting services for both startups and investors.
For [...]

I recently spent some time on YouNoodle to test their Startup Predictor. YouNoodle’s Startup Predictor estimates what your startup will be worth in 3 years - Bizak estimates (based on revenues) what your startup is worth right now. From the YouNoodle questions it appears that they calculate your startup’s valuation based on the probability [...]

Bizak’s idea is rooted in the financial analysis and EPS of public companies. What I’m trying to do is create an average performance metric for startups according to their industry, business type (wiki, blog, etc.) and revenue source (Adsense, consulting, etc.) and any and all combination of the three. Bizak computes (and creates benchmarks) for visitors, [...]

Facebook’s chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, recently said Facebook’s first goal is the grow the business, monetization can wait. I hear this a lot from startups and in most cases disagree with this strategy. My disagreement is because most startups will never experience significant growth and others can’t afford the wait. Additionally significant growth doesn’t necessarily mean significant revenues.

Facebook recently overtook the number one worldwide visitors title from Myspace but Rupert Murdoch & News Corp. are probably not concerned. In July 2005 News Corp. purchased Myspace for $580 million. This year Myspace is expected to generate 2008 revenues of $800 million. In comparison Facebook revenues for 2008 are expected to [...]

Early this week YouTube’s Head of Monetization quits the company to work at a smaller company that presumable might be easier to monetize. Since Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) purchased YouTube for $1.65 Billion in October 2006 the issue of monetizing video content has been a major issue for the company. Even though YouTube has [...]
