#2Needs a [video] tag.
That didn’t seem like a “behind the scenes” kind of video, more like an overview of what Demo Day is, with montages of each presentation, some off-the-cuff conversations with people, and a (to me, odd) conversation on marijuana beverages.
I like this as a basic, “What Is Demo Day?” video.
Although, I would be interested in an actual ‘behind-the-scenes’ video, conversing everything from startups preparing & testing their presentations, to the back-end software, to venue operations.

#3Why there are so many online mattress-in-a-box companies?

#4Anyone else feel like that Tito guy is trying too hard? He seems like a preposterously bad fit for Techcrunch.
He tries this comedic approach but all his jokes fall flat. I've entirely given up on TC video section (blocking it through uBlock) because I can't stand to watch videos with him in it.

Yeah, it's literally the opposite of behind-the-scenes. Would have loved to see some backstage jitters by the founders, what they do in the last minutes before their pitches, etc.

Don't have a video but: packed a bit in a green room backstage (a room with water and snacks), about 25 startups at a time, either muttering the pitches to ourselves or watching the startup on stage on a small TV. High-fiving and congratulating the startups as they come out with their faces of relief. For them, it's over! The room begins to empty. You get mic'ed up, go on stand-by by the stage in front of the dark audience, watch one last startup pitch, and then you're on!

To each their own, I liked the video and found the general relaxed tone quite appealing.
It was clear to me I wasn't watching a stand up comedy show and neither did he try. He was just friendly and genuinely happy about being there.

Sorry, if I had tried to add that I wouldn’t have had any room for the title itself. Thanks to whoever edited it.

Yeah! I’d have to disagree! I started watching TC videos because of Justin Kincaid’s TC Cribs but after he left I stopped.
Tito brought me back with his energy and enthusiasm.
