Nice, @_jacksmith! I recognize many familiar faces on here. 😃 How are you creating these videos and choosing who to interview? Quick feedback: I think I'd prefer a list of all the videos on a single page to reduce the number of clicks to view each one, which is particularly more important when they're so short.

@rrhoover good point, thanks for the feedback. They're created by just using a Canon dslr camera and then just basic editing (full equipment list enclosed). Most of the time we just rented the equipment from Lumoid when we had an interview. With regards to who we interviewed, we started with a list of questions that we'd like to answer, then went to the people who we'd most like to hear the answers from. Eg Felipe was our real estate broker at Vungle, Shyp and Coin. Brad is Vungle's lawyer etc. but for others, like Chris from @clerkyinc, I just love the product and thus thought he'd be the best placed to talk about FF Preferred Stock. Equipment list (majority rentable via Lumoid for about $50 a day or so): - Sennheiser ew 122-p G3 Wireless System with ME4 - Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens - Tripod - Canon T5i camera - LED video lighting

Very cool - can't get enough of the content. And nice kit - i'd suggest this Smartlav if the Sennheiser proves cumbersome: http://www.smartlav.com/

@guygunaratne thanks for the suggestion. the sound quality on the sennheiser was actually quite shitty; so ended up switching to a lav mic plugged into this: Zoom H2n very good at cancelling background noise.

@_jacksmith that's bad looking at how much it must have cost. Zoom H2n is real good. What are you thinking in terms of content though - sticking with the category filters or something like themed series.

@guygunaratne yeah the sennheiser is expensive; but I didn't buy it, we were just renting it from Lumoid. how would you see themed series working differently to categories? we have a series on getting into y-combinator . is that what you meant?

@_jacksmith yup pretty much that kind of thing - should do one on 500 Startups too btw, we just got in and will be attending from next week. It would have been immensely helpful to know what to expect. More of the same!

hey, this is something that I worked on with @michaeltyrimos - interviewing some startup founders; investors and more, about topics such as how to get into incubators (e.g. Y-Combinator). Let us know what you think
