David joyce jalipo build it and they will come
Jalipo was founded in London as an online marketplace for TV and video content, allowing content owners to offer channels, video-on-demand, and live events directly to viewers worldwide using a unique pay-per-minute model. It gained £5M in funding and launched in 2007 with a variety of products and services. However, despite being innovative and technically advanced, Jalipo struggled to gain customers and ran out of funding, ultimately being acquired in 2008 as it failed to generate sufficient revenue from viewers.

- 8. Long Form Jalipo was to provide long form, high quality, content on the web for the first time. Offering viewers a range of bandwidths to view content. Yahoo!

- 9. Long Form This is absolutely not for user-generated content. If you were looking to put us into the marketplace, I would put us at the other end of the market to YouTube. This is rights-protected, territory-restricted and monetized every minute. Alex Taylor CEO Thursday, 6 October 2011

- 15. How Much WouldYOU Invest? Thursday, 6 October 2011
- 16. Warning Signs All new viewers signing up received free credits, but the number of viewers purchasing new credits is dwindling. Live events are drawing in less than expected viewing numbers. Major content providers are unconvinced model will work. Rumours of Hulu surface. Other Ad funded video sites launch. Unfavourable reviews and blog posts We’re not convinced that a minute-by-minute credit system is the right way to sell online video. If the content is worth watching, it’s probably worth watching till the end, and should be sold as a complete offering. Jalipo’s video quality is good, though compelling content seems lacking. Thursday, 6 October 2011
- 17. Advertising and Marketing ■ New marketing strategy devised. ■ An expensive advertising campaign is launched. ■ Google AdWords used. ■ Free Credits increased and period extended. ■ Product lines enhanced based on Product Managers ideas. Thursday, 6 October 2011
- 18. Switching Gears ■ Sales force reduced. ■ In view advertising facility built. ■ Funding running out. ■ Development team reduced. ■ Product Development cycle begins again ■ New product ideas and prototypes built ■ Hunt for new investor begins. Thursday, 6 October 2011
- 19. Jalipo Runs Outof Credits Despite being ahead of its time ■ Long form video ■ High quality ■ In viewing advertising ■ Live streaming of events ■ Content marketplace ■ PPM micro currency ■ Syndication model Jalipo still didnt make it in the market place. The demise of Jalipo was sadly an event waiting to happen. The premise of offering people bite-sized portions of channels through the internal system of J Credits was sound enough, just that as is so often the case with the world wide web, you can always find something else to entertain you at half the price.
