Don’t be afraid of video
It doesn’t have to be expensive
It doesn’t have to be over-produced
Started with his brother
Engineer by trade
4.4 million users in under five years
Worked at a startup incubator
The ideas were terrible…but the videos he made to market these companies were great

Brought on a co-founder who is a smart engineer
All put in $5,000 as a loan and took it out a year later
Brought on an angel investor after a prototype was created (in six months)
Freelanced to pay the bills
Started with a lot of content marketing
Got up to about 10,000 users and raised $800,000 and invested in engineers and animators in late 2015
Big visions help with direction and what to say no to, but you need short term goals to stay on target
Start with social media apps and make video natively in the apps
