Vator.tv - It's YouTube for Start-Ups (vator.tv)

Hmm.. Why not just post your business pitch on YouTube and reach a wider audience? Just curious how this site can bring anything unique to the already full YouTube table. There seems to be a lot of video posting/hosting sites that think success can be had by claiming support for a niche market when there is really little new functionality there to truly differentiate.

Best of luck to them though. The basic idea is great for the group here.


Good question - the twist on Vator.tv, as I understand it, is that each quarter the top voted video has the opportunity for VC funding.


I think I'll pass on any investment that is based on an unrelated popularity contest. Popularity of my product ought to play a role here...but popularity of a video about it?

Anyway, I don't get it and won't visit again, though I think there's still plenty of room in the online video market for niche entries.
