What do you need to compete with Youtube or Instagram, in the market of casual video streaming, and at the same time compete with Netflix or HBO, in producing premium series and movies?

Well, let’s say you will need at the very least two things. First, money. A lot of it. And then maybe something unique, something that truly stands out.

Quibi is the video streaming app that went just for that earlier this year, and it has been struggling to claim a place on the market. Yes, the money part they had. But the unique-factor, which they also claim to have, let’s say it’s very debatable.

We will talk about Quibi in this Company Forensics and determine if this high-profile startup is as doomed as it looks to be.

2:25 don't get why everyone makes a big deal about the "no screenshots" thing. Most streaming apps are like this. I can't screencap Netflix either

Never heared about Quibi here in Germany 😂 no chance to reach the whole world when you even not known here in middle europe 😂

@videosammy

Not even two veteran ceos could save the sinking ship that was quibi.

You can’t really die if you were never alive.

Going public in this state is suicide. They'd probably make more money just selling their already produced content

Somewhere Michael Eisner is laughing….
