An effective marketing plan is necessary to grow your business. Among other things, the right marketing plan details your target customers, your unique selling proposition (USP), and your pricing strategy. And importantly, your marketing plan covers the "channels" you will use to get new customers (known as your "promotions strategy").

That created a gap in market which sub $100m dedicated seed funds (aka micro-VCs) stepped into – there are now over 300 of them (2005-2016). Then competition in the seed market led to increased round sizes driving the Series A bar still higher and causing seed investors to in turn look for more progress before investing (2013-ongoing).

YouTube is a distribution and marketing channel like any other. For me this was a simple market analysis. I think most arguments miss the mark.
