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. The team has raised $2 million from a high-profile slew of investors, including AOL Ventures, Google Ventures and Dave McClure, but no one knows who or what Vungle is, making it hard to attract top talent. The team decides it's time for the world to hear about Vungle, so they craft their first press release and plan a website redesign. But plans go awry, and we begin to see tension between co-founders Jack and Zain.

Watch today's episode and join the conversation on Twitter, #BehindTheLaunch.
