VOICE OVER: Ashkan
HipMojo is a raw and unedited weekly show covering timely news in the world of business.
In part 2 of show 15 of HipMojo, Ash and CT discuss VCs' aversion to content investments. CT argues that content is commoditized with too much supply; Ash runs down five reasons, including background and expertise, chasing hits, the defensibility around the Intellectual Property, concerns about scaling, and the fact that most content executives who would be investors tend to favor tech investments themselves by virtue of seeing tech disrupt their old business.
