Think of your company's value as a rare treasure, and imagine the best way to get it into the right hands. Content marketing, when executed flawlessly, acts as the perfect delivery service, transporting your company's unique offerings directly to a curious and engaged audience. In B2B SaaS, this precision becomes paramount, with the content acting as customized parcels, addressing the specific needs of each client.Jose Cayasso, commonly known as Caya, is at the forefront of this strategic delivery system. As the CEO of Slidebean, he has amassed over 350,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel, turning content delivery into an art. Today, we'll dive deep with Caya, understanding how to craft content that doesn't just inform but resonates and engages. Join us as we uncover the secrets behind Slidebean's massive success and learn how to transform your content into the ultimate delivery tool.High-Level OverviewPassion for Content Creation Over Monetization: Caya expresses his passion for creating content rather than focusing on monetization, highlighting the value he places on the content itself over the potential revenue it might generate.Welcoming and Supporting the Startup Community: Katy Hammond and Caya discuss the need for honesty and validation in the startup community, especially for early-stage founders, and how to create a more welcoming environment.Challenges and Lessons from Failed Content Series: They delve into lessons learned from the retired series "Five Minute Tech" and the importance of creating evergreen content that remains valuable to viewers for years.Content Strategy Differences with YouTube and TikTok: Caya elaborates on the differences between YouTube and TikTok, highlighting the long-term monetizable value of evergreen content on YouTube and the accessibility of TikTok for companies and creators.The Importance of Honest Feedback in Idea Validation: Caya emphasizes the value of honest feedback in the startup community, discussing the common issues founders face in validating their ideas and the importance of critical rather than merely positive responses.Leveraging Content MarketingIn today's digitally-driven world, content marketing stands as one of the most powerful tools for startups to gain visibility, establish authority, and foster relationships with potential customers. It provides a cost-effective way to communicate a brand's value proposition while resonating with the target audience's needs and preferences. When done right, content marketing not only drives organic traffic and boosts SEO but also cultivates trust, turning passive readers into active customers and brand advocates.Define Your Audience: Before creating content, understand who you're speaking to. Create detailed audience personas to cater content to specific needs and pain points.Tell a Story: Go beyond traditional promotional tactics. Narrate the journey of your startup, share success stories, or discuss challenges and how you overcame them.Quality Over Quantity: It's more beneficial to produce high-quality, in-depth content less frequently than churning out low-value content regularly.Leverage Different Mediums: Diversify your content portfolio. Use blogs, videos, podcasts, webinars, and infographics to cater to varied audience preferences.SEO is Key: Research relevant keywords and integrate them seamlessly into your content. This ensures that your content gets discovered by the right audience.Engage and Interact: Use content to foster a two-way conversation. Encourage comments, feedback, and share user-generated content to build community and trust.Analyze and Adjust: Regularly monitor content performance using analytics tools. Understand what's working and what's not, and tweak your strategy accordingly.In conclusion, leveraging content marketing is not just about populating a blog or sharing videos sporadically. It's a strategic endeavor that requires consistency, understanding of the audience, and continuous learning. As startups are in a unique position to be agile and innovative, they can capitalize on content marketing to carve a niche for themselves in crowded markets. The journey might be demanding, but the results in terms of brand loyalty, awareness, and revenue growth are well worth the effort.

All founders dream that their business will skyrocket and succeed from the very beginning, but the reality is that most will fail. However, this isn't a reason to give up. When you bounce back and start again, the story can repeat itself unless you learn the lessons of your failure. That was exactly the case for Jose Cayasso of Slidebean, who shares his insights and learnings from re-starting a SaaS business after failing the first time..In this episode, we discuss:The right moment to start a businessSolving problems for other SaaS entrepreneursWhy SaaS founders should focus on what they are good atHow to develop an effective customer acquisition strategyThe Right Moment to Start a BusinessBefore Slidebean, Jose left college and founded a startup that failed, which was when he started Slidebean. However, Jose believes that starting another company immediately after you fail is a bad idea because you focus on generating revenue quickly rather than following your business interests. For him, the best time to start a new business is once you're an expert in an industry and discover a problem or opportunity. Then you can work on your company from a position of comfort rather than risking everything you have.I think the best companies get started when you have a job and discover something in the market that you have unique insight and expertise to solve. But you can do that from a position you can question this concept, whether it's a good or a bad idea - Jose CayassoLet Your First Product Do Its JobThe original version of Slidebean was simple, yet it served its purpose well. That's a great strategy for building the first version of your product, in that it solves a specific problem for your customers. After that, you can develop it, add new features, and customize it for your clients.The original product was so simple, and I loved it. We came up with the concept that you could only build a slide with one piece of content and make a simple but beautiful presentation - Jose CayassoRunning an Effective Customer Acquisition StrategyIn a market where you have to compete with Prezi and PowerPoint, Slidebean started acquiring customers through organic reach, which proved ineffective. That forced the team to rethink the pricing and conversion funnels and opt for paid direct marketing acquisition channels, which feeds you customers quickly to test with and adjust your strategy.Any startup, any SaaS company, especially B2B, should first focus on getting profitable unit economics via paid marketing. It's an equation of running ads, understanding how much those ads cost, and understanding the revenue that those ads generated or the conversions that those ads generated are enough to pay for the cost of the service, the software, and the cost of acquiring those customers - Jose CayassoFor more interviews from the SaaS Origin Stories podcast, check us out on Apple, Spotify, or your favorite podcast player!

In this video, Caleb catches up with Caya from Slidebean to discuss startups. They talk about how India's startup ecosystem is different from the United States. Visiting India's Silicon Valley – Bengaluru: Bengaluru is the place to be to truly understand the depth of India's startup ecosystem. You can regions inside of Bengaluru which is dedicated to startups – walk down miles and you can find hundreds of startups talking about disruption. India's SaaS revolution: Slidebean has been a customer of a lot of Indian SaaS startups including Zoho, Freshworks and Chargebee and a lot more. What's surprising is that even though they have been a customer of a lot of Indian SaaS startups, they didn't even know that these companies were from India. India's booming EV space: Even though Tesla is yet to make its mark in India, Indian EV startups have been taking over the country in the last few years. From Tata's Nexon to Ather's scooters – electric vehicles are driving the revolution in India. All of this probably might not have been possible if Tesla might have entered India early. Differences between India and United States' Fintech ecosystem: India's fintech ecosystem is quite unique with UPI playing a significant role across the ecosystem. Transactions are a lot smoother and more seamless due to UPI, but the entire thing is dependent of India's own ecosystem and isn't compatible with United States' fintech ecosystem. Understanding salary differences: India is the place for global companies to hire a quality workforce at cheaper costs. This is only possible due to the huge salary and living expense differences between India and the US. India's closely-knit startup culture: The concentration of startups in a single place in cities like Bengaluru is mindboggling. You can go out for a coffee and you might bump up with some of India's leading startup entrepreneurs. The ‘Jugaad' mentality: With a lot of the new-age startup founders coming from small towns and cities where they had a lack of resources - a lot of Indian startups have this 'Jugaad' mentality - which keeps them frugal while building some world-leading products. Different countries, different problems: While startups in the US are more focused on streamlining and making things more efficient, startups in India have the opportunity to disrupt industries completely. India's savings culture: India is more of a savings focused economy where people are used to buying products only from their savings and mostly stay away from taking any loans. This is why credit card penetration in the country is extremely low. On the other hand, people in the US are a lot more comfortable with buying things they can't afford. This is why credit card penetration is a lot higher in the US. More cultural and lifestyle differences: Caya was blown away by the fact that there is a market for super expensive products in India while at the same time India's average salary is on the lower end of the spectrum. He believes that it's the cultural differences like focus on savings and salary differences that make up for these extreme lifestyle differences. India's wealth disparity: Also, the fact that there is a growing opportunity in India's tech space for engineers who are getting paid much higher than average salary is creating a huge wealth disparity among Indians. Startups are creating disproportionate wealth and enabling the Indian markets.

Dave Lukas, The Misfit Entrepreneur_Breakthrough Entrepreneurship
This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Jose “Caya” Cayasso. Caya is a serial entrepreneur who is best known for founding Slidebean and Recurring. He is a TEDx speaker, 40 under 40 recipient and has received a host of other awards for his efforts. Slidebean is part of the Silicon Valley accelerator, 500 Startups and has grown tremendously. The company helps startups solve their pitch deck needs, What I love most about Caya is how he has built his companies made them successful through organic efforts through content strategies. In fact, his YouTube channel has over 300,000 subscribers. I'm excited for him to share his strategies with you. www.youtube.com/c/Slidebean Caya says he made it to where he is a little bit by accident. In his first company, he didn't really understand what a startup was. He just built a little game and put it on Kickstarter, and it got picked up. That lead to investors reaching out asking if he was raising money, etc. He didn't know what they were talking about. He had to go through the crash course of learning the startup and investment game with the first company which didn't end up making it. But, with Slidebean, he has learned from his mistakes and experience and has applied as well as shared with others to help them. Talk about finding a business accelerator and how that helped you and helps startups… There is a big debate on whether it is worth to give up equity to an accelerator. Accelerators are fantastic crash courses in how to navigate a startup giving you the training and information you need to succeed. They give you guidance, teach how to pitch and better run your business and help you with their network. They are a great bridge for a soft landing as a startup. Benefits and disadvantages? If you have the network and connections and access to investment, then you may not need one. Accelerators also require equity in exchange for working with them. It is usually about 6% equity for a 6-figure check, so it is not a bad trade off for companies that little to no revenue and no profit. The biggest advantage outside of capital is the resources available and that they bring to the table. What makes a great pitch deck? A pitch deck is your business story. It doesn't matter how many slides, but it matters how you tell you story and the data you use. You typically have to send your deck into investors for them to review and decide if they will meet with you. Investors on average will spend 4 minutes looking at your slides. So, you have to tell your story in essentially 4 minutes. Any specific elements that should be in a pitch deck? How you are going to make money for the investor. A good structure is the following: Intro: Who you are and a little bit of a teaser. Status Quo: This how the market is behaving today, and this is the pain point that can be solved. Problem slide, business opportunity slide, solutions slide. Product/Demo: Showcases the solution and how it makes money. This where you brag. Market: State of the market, how big it is, competition, and how you will beat the competition. Why Us?: Team, why you are the best to solve the problem and maybe a why now it is needed. Ask for Money: How much you need, how you will use it, and how it will make vision reality. You've built your companies leveraging content, tell us about the content strategies you've used to grow your businesses – what works, what doesn't? YouTube was sort of an accident. It was to market for Slidebean but became more for people following Caya and his journey. You want to create that generates SEO – it's interesting, it has good data, it is worthy of sharing and people want to share it. Spend time up front to really understand key words to incorporate into your content to make sure Google is associated you appropriately. AdWords is possible, but you need to know your metrics well to make it profitable. Best practices for creating content and optimizing SEO? SEO is a science and an art. You have to understand Google scoring and need good engineers to build a website that is optimized to it. Creating compelling content is hard. You need to have consistent content at a consistent frequency. You also should be focused on doing good long-form content in the form of articles or white papers that is highly consumable. It also takes time. SEO is not the best first growth tactic to go after because of the time it takes to start ranking – it is the long game. Better growth tactics when starting out are to work closely with your clients and get referrals. You also need their feedback to make things better. You want to start SEO and content marketing as soon as you can, but the focus early on needs to be customers. To get customers, you can use outbound email, prospecting, networking, paid media and search ads – direct response that can get you customers right away. Tell us about using video and your strategy for YouTube… YouTube is as long a game as SEO/content and is more expensive. Caya's average video costs a couple thousand dollars to produce But the connection you can create with customers and prospects on YouTube is so much better and viral. YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world. Long-term video is better than text for marketing and creating community and a following. YouTube is more art than science – but it requires both. One hack is targeting searches where the key word or phrase is underserved or the videos in the category or crappy. At the 33 min mark, Caya gives his thoughts on raising capital and then stewarding it and making sure it is used in the best way. Its best to just listen. Most important things you've learned to succeed as an entrepreneur? Prepare yourself for how long of a journey it is. It is easy to get distracted – prepare yourself to be at in a business for 5-7 years to make it truly successful. Best advice for someone just starting out? Choosing the right time to raise money. You have to be ready and be in the right position. You need a product and some testing done prior. It is super time intensive and there is a lot of rejection. Be prepared to spend 2-3 months not being able to run your business – raising money is a full-time job. The business should be able to run without the CEO, meaning the team can continue growing it before the CEO commits to raising money. Best Quote: A pitch deck is your business story... Caya's Misfit 3: Learn when to give up. Time is the most valuable asset that you have. Give yourself a deadline for your projects and respect that deadline. Be prepared to quit. Start ASAP. The younger you are, the easier it is to start businesses and possibly fail. It is easier to take risks. Do something that you absolutely enjoy.

When they are forced to abandon their ship, they board a derelict ocean liner, where they become convinced that someone is stalking them. (source: imdb.com) This is a great film with several mind-scrambling twists and genre-shifts. In fact, the marketing lets it down because the posters and trailer suggest it's a slasher film on a cruise liner. Whilst that's what you might think at first the film soon goes off in a scary time paradox direction. Many people will have given Triangle a miss because of the false impression created by the marketing. The film is based in part on the story of Sisyphus, a figure in Greek mythology. Written and directed by Christopher Smith (Creep 2004, Severance 2006, Black Death 2010, Detour 2016, Alex Rider TV Series 2020, The Banishing 2021).

Spirit of 608: Fashion, Entrepreneurship, Sustainability + Tech
Get ready for a conversation about things not turning out like you planned -- and how to handle it. But even better, this week's guest is not here with the typical, run-of-the-mill fail-to-succeed story we hear so often from startup land. No, the female founder on the Spirit of 608 podcast this week is coming back to the show for a second time as a prime example of how pivoting can happen - and become necessary - even when you've had all the successes other startups dream of: the coveted spot in one of the industry's top pitch competitions, placement in a respected accelerator program, a paid pilot program with a household name big box retailer and notably successful results from testing its product with retail partners. So what happens when you succeed, and it's still not enough to get your business where you want it to be? How do you persist? This is one fashion startup founder's story and advice for doing just that. Meet this week's guest, Camilla Olson, Founder of Savitude. Sign up for the PressDope weekly email to get DIY PR tips and The Dope List of media opps, calls for pitches, FEST events and more ways to raise your visibility. What you'll learn How could a successful pilot program with a national retailer that lasted for 18 months result in, well, nothing? It's not what you'd expect from a startup that seemingly made all the right moves. You'll hear why things that work sometimes don't work out. Plus, what Camilla chose to do about it to push her business into the next phase. How you'll be inspired Have you heard quotes and hyperbole about all that's beautiful and alive in this world coming forth from darkness? Listen to Camilla's story to hear how a troubled childhood helped this startup entrepreneur (and one of the very earliest female venture capitalists) hone her problem solving skills as a coping mechanism. It's poignant, and it will make you think. What you'll tell your friends Girl, get a dog. Every entrepreneur should get one, says Camilla. Entrepreneurship can get lonely and demanding, and Camilla says the best way for her to be able to cope with all the baggage she has to carry as a founder is to be able come home to the unconditional love of a furry four-pawed friend. Find out more about how Camilla's rescue dog helps her in her business on this week's episode.

Voice Over: On this episode, our guest is Caya, CEO and cofounder of Slidebean. Slidebean is a cloud based presentation tool that makes creating well-crafted and well-designed slide decks simple and easy. Slidebean was a part of Start-Up Chile — one of the most important accelerators in Latin America, 500 Startups — one of the best US accelerators, named “3rd Most Valuable Internet Startup” in Costa Rica, and it was featured in TechCrunch. Etcetera, etcetera…the impressive list goes on. So what’s all the buzz about? Au revoir Prezi and PowerPoint! Now anyone can make a high-end designer grade presentation without spending a lot of time and money on becoming–or hiring–a designer. One of Slidebean’s many pros is that it has an easy to use drag and drop feature which allows styling in one user-friendly click. The start of Slidebean. The founders of Slidebean are all graphic designers by trade. They noticed a big problem looming in the business world. Too many people were struggling to put together decent looking presentations on their own, yet this is a skill most people need to know how to tackle on their own. Existing presentation tools such as Prezi, Google Slides and Keynote are all reliable tools, if one invests the time it takes to properly understand how to use them. These tools tend to be difficult and time consuming for users without a design background. Enter, Slidebean. Slidebean created a simple user interface — so simple that they actually created it to prevent the customer from being able to complicate — which means they had the foresight to think of issues that could arise. Such as, custom changing the template color. It seems like an option that some people may want, but in this case it would change the model of the template and make it more difficult to work with so that (as of now) isn’t an option. Basically, the team designed this template so that the ones using it don’t get in their own way. Why Slidebean stands out. Above and beyond its usability, there are other perks to tossing out your old ways of making a deck and trying something new. Cloud based system: no messy application installations needed. Analytics: this is music to a marketing and sales team’s ears. It has built in analytics, therefore you can understand how people interact with each slide in your presentation. Giffy and video integration… need we say more? Ability to keep it secret: you can share this with only the people you choose by sending them a safe link.

Welcome to Crossing Borders with Nathan Lustig, where I interview entrepreneurs doing startups across borders and the investors who support them, with a focus on companies that have some relationship to Latin America. My guest today is Jose "Caya" Cayasso, a Costa Rican entrepreneur who is cofounder and CEO of Slidebean, a software company that helps people stop wasting time wresting with presentation design. Slidebean's product, presentations that design themselves, is used by thousands of people around the world, from students to business executives. We'll cover Caya's journey from Costa Rica to New York to launch his first business, what he learned in his first startup and how he used his experience to create Slidebean, which now has 20 employees in Costa Rica and 2 in New York City. We'll talk about the fundraising process and Caya's journey to raising money from Start-Up Chile, 500 startups, Carao Ventures, Firstrock Capital and of course Magma Partners. Be sure to listen for Caya's tips on how to run a business with two offices in different countries, how he thinks about scaling a SaaS business and why he invests time in creating investor updates. I've had the pleasure of getting to know Caya over the past year since Magma invested and it was great to be able to talk more in depth for the podcast. We had a few technical difficulties with the sound at the beginning, but push through, I think it's worth it!
