Discuss the show on Twitter: #BehindTheLaunch
In Mashable's new video series, Behind the Launch, we're taking cameras behind the scenes at Vungle, an in-app video advertising startup. Today, one of Vungle's publishers has pulled out, leaving the startup with a very one-sided platform. The Vungle team decides it's time to refocus, so Colin Behr, head of business development, hits the phones to recruit publishers and build out the business side. "If we don't move at lightning speed, someone else will be faster," says founder Jack Smith. "It's really good to have this paranoia."
Watch today's episode to see what happens, and join the conversation on Twitter, #BehindTheLaunch.
