Quibi Raised $1.75 Billion and Died in 7 Months

In April 2020, Quibi launched with $1.75 billion in funding, A-list Hollywood backing, and a bold promise: premium shows designed exclusively for your phone. Six months later, it was gone.

This video breaks down the structural reasons behind Quibi’s collapse — from its mobile-only design and high production costs to its closed distribution model and misread of short-form behavior. Featuring key figures like Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman, and examining the competitive pressure from Netflix, TikTok, and YouTube, this is a business autopsy of a company that executed exactly as planned — in the wrong environment.

No hype. No hindsight bias. Just a clear analysis of how a billion-dollar media experiment unraveled in real time.
