Before he started Vidpresso, Randall was helping out my YC batch with feedback on their demo day pitches. It wasn&#x27;t his job - he was just being helpful. The nicest guy you&#x27;d ever meet.<p>Props to Randall on all the hard work building Vidpresso over the years - and congrats on the exit!

&gt; By 2016, it was telling hiring prospects that it was profitable, but also that, “We will not be selling the company unless some insane whatsapp like thing happened. We’re building a forever biz, not a flip.” So either Vidpresso lowered its bar for an exit or Facebook made coming aboard worth its while.

Not sure what your plans are but I think there are tremendous upside into bundling their solution natively into the juggernaut that is Facebook Video&#x2F;Watch. As much as the company has been decried for its influence lately, it means that innovations for acquisitions get to be put in front of a billion people or two (including getting support from engineers who dedicated years to getting code to run on quirky mobile OS).<p>A personal note to the team, as Facebook is very much a manage-your-own-journey company: I would strongly recommend you look into professional application, as in, Workplace.<p>A. that means a free trip to London for you, which is always cool. You get to meet more people with whom to joke: “It’s in the middle of a swamp! — I know — Why?! – I don’t know.”<p>B. there are tons of applications, roughly empowering internal equivalent to Coursera. Any solution that I know about (and it’s alas a lot: worked for 20+ companies) is bad, expensive, dysfunctional and impractical.<p>Getting people to use video to document their workflow, think about edge-cases, etc. is the most impactful thing I can imagine because it introduces billions into structured logic in their tasks, allows them to step from code-as-Excel-spreadsheet into code-as-a-system.<p>Workplace is already teaching a lot of businesses to be open, transparent, interest-driven, to record interaction for later use without closely-defined audience, etc. That happens a lot through Workplace videos — in spite of that tool being very feature-poor. Adding editing, slide-control and later something closer to choose-your-own-adventure, tests, etc. that would be incredible.<p>I hope you can demonstrate that there is a lot of great things to be done with interactive videos.

Yet another example that if people want to put their money where their mouth is w.r.t not being bought out, only trust a not for profit organization.

It&#x27;s strange that the investors would agree to having the team and tech aquihired. What&#x27;s in it for them?

Was this something like OBS is for Twitch&#x2F;YouTube streamers? Where you can set different scenes and overlays that are pretty interactive when connected properly to whichever platform&#x27;s API!?
