Quibi: How a $1.75B Startup Died in 6 Months

<p>Quibi raised $1.75 billion before it had a single show, hired Spielberg and Reese Witherspoon to make TV for your phone, and shut down six months after launch.</p><p><br></p><p>This is a fun new segment where I take apart a company that died and diagnose what actually killed it. We get into the tech that forced every show to be shot twice, the Super Bowl ad that ran before a single episode existed, and why almost no one converted from free trial to paying subscriber.</p><p><br></p><p>If this episode helped you, leave a review on Apple Podcasts or follow on Spotify. It takes 30 seconds and it&#39;s how the next founder finds us.</p><p><br></p><p>FOLLOW US </p><p>https://www.youtube.com/@FoundersInMotion </p><p>https://www.instagram.com/thea.yaps/ </p><p>https://www.tiktok.com/@foundersinmotion </p><p>https://linkedin.com/in/theango/</p><p><br>ABOUT FOUNDERS IN MOTION </p><p>The founder podcast that catches them before they&#39;re famous, when the pivot might not work and the real story is still being written.
