awesome! And no buffering or
pixelating. And to top it all of,
it’s at a great price! What’s not
to like?”

“First let me say that
Screambox is outstanding! I’m
a huge fan of the horror genre
and am sure your product is
going to be a huge success.”

its kind geared towards us die
hard horror fans makes it
badass in my book.”

something like this.”

on my Roku and love this
already. Your categories are
too funny.”

My Netflix has nothing but
horror suggestions but they
don’t have that many horror
movies.”
- Jay J.

Editor's Notes

  1. Key Points: SFN is a portfolio – of one right now - genre-specific SVOD channels that focus primarily on niches with fanatical enthusiasts– horror, surfing, martial arts, science fiction, etc. Our goal is connect them with content & community Alternative content: Purpose a) To create communities of under-served fans & enthusiasts connected by relevant and genre specific video-based viewing experiences Purpose b) To connect under-served fans & enthusiasts with genre/life-style specific content & fan-based community
  2. Key Points: Consumers not just adopting OTT , but strong indicators they are leaning away from “owned” models (TVOD, DVD) to “all you can eat models” "All you can eat players" leaning into mass market programming models with focus on original episodic TV Problem for consumers &producers/distributors who want/do niche – classic long tail problem Consumers: Opportunity to deliver “Everything for someone” service to smaller audiences (Golden Coral vs. All u can eat Sushi) Producers: Long tail distributors & producers hurting. Netflix getting 50-100 titles a year from big Indie distributors (Radius, Magnolia, IFC). Opportunities to distribute lower demand content shrinking (1st/2nd windows limited. 3rd shrinking) Can support a channel with 65k subs & opportunities to reach & acquire subscribers not limited by walled gardens (MSO’s, Big media company bundles)
  3. Key Points: We fulfill our purpose by delivering Content – films of all types, lengths, from around the world, TV, long & short form video. Curation – We handpick our films, make sure they perfectly fit the needs of our fan-base. We use curators to score & solicit community feedback Context – We intend to add film-reviews, director cuts, interviews, and commentary related to the films we deliver as well as other content forms to enhance the viewing experience Community – We are addressing the needs of passionate fans. We spark important conversations about genre specific concerns and issues Connection – We are at the nexus of entertainment & technology. We enable our communities to connect with video-experiences and each other through the our comprehensive device penetration and careful use of data and algorithmic technology
  4. Key Points: Origin Story - Dan : Founder – rock in shoe – was the OTT opportunity, but tackling with a Everything for someone instead of a Something for everyone strategy - started with Horror and Scream Entertainment - Mike joined as co-founder : Digital media visionary / idea man behind Hulu / architect of MySpace / Consultant to UMG - saw opportunity, but realized it was broader than Horror and accumulated operating experience could allow for many successful channels - Realized they needed a operator with digital roots in technology to drive the ship. I joined in Feb - I joined because of the market opportunity, the customer-centric nature of the business, and because I believe winning is not just about great content, but about engineered and differentiated experiences Super Powers (Great team) - Mike – Understand of the market place, Experience & Connections - Dan – Experience with Content distribution specifically with independents & international - Kirk - Product & Strategy with domain experience in entertainment & mobile - Gary -Entertainment focused Business Development & Distribution partner sourcing & management - Kelly - HBS grad / deep undertanding of business modeling & strategic finance - David - General Management, company building – startup/growth mode, Product Strategy, Technology Dev, & Direct Response Marketing
  5. Key Points: Launched in Sep 2014 Key thesis to validate (Customer Discovery & Validation) Could we acquire, retain, delight, & get em to pay With lower cost, but highly targeted content & a very horror-centric user experience Being on all devices matters
  6. Key Points: Our users love the service The are 3x more active on FB then the mean and engage in a meaningful way on our FB page
  7. Key Point: - Our LTV > 3xCAC on a per subscriber basis we cover our variable costs by a factor of 3 TODO: update with data
  8. Key Points: We have a healthy subscriber funnel Acquisition – do well with paid and unpaid source & traffic is split 60/40 Opportunity to push new channels Very good at activating our Trialers Opportunity to improve with onboarding Revenue & Retention healthy with a LTV that pays back 3x against our blended SAC Opportunity to improve both with price-sensitivity testing, better content, more devices, improved UEX, & CRM programs Engagement is healthy – 10 hours & 16. More content & better community integration is our oportunity here TODO: update
  9. Key Point: We have had launched on 2 streaming device platforms, 1 IP TB, & 2 mobile OS – Seeing adoption on Roku We are going live with Xbox in June We are going live with Sony PS by Oct (Halloween) TODO: -Reorder & structure launched Remove Other Tabulate addressable
  10. Key Point: We have ideas about what channel to pursue, but we don’t have religion. We have religion about how we choose the channels we pursue Rigorous process of Validating the idea with tests Entering into a beta period to see if the channel has legs Then moving into a growth mode
  11. Key Point: - <Channel breaks even at 65k subs and contributes to fixed costs by year 2. A channel with 900k subs generates ~50 million a year with a 45% contribution As churn drops we will see our LTV (- variable costs > direct/content) will be almost 10x ouf
