How to launch a start-up: HowCast sets the standard

First – Be ex Google and youTube employees, and arrange a deal with YouTube to split revenue attracted by your range of instructional wikis and videos.

Next, attract $8m in first round VC funding, and cut deals with MySpace, Joost and ROO*

Be sure to include a community aspect, particularly if there is a way to make money, or to get starving students to perform videos that were your idea.

and finally, get yourselves on uber-blog Techcrunch.

oh – and one last thing. Make one of your first products about sex:

 

*ROO Group Inc. (OTCBB: RGRP) through its 100% subsidiary ROO Media Corporation, is a global service provider enabling businesses to leverage their digital media assets and provide an enhanced user experience.  

(I think that means they do video for corporates)
