Forbes creates video-streaming platform for entrepreneurs

Forbes has created an over-the-top streaming video platform for entrepreneurs, reports Sara Guaglione of Publishers Daily.

Guaglione writes, “Called Forbes8, the platform features more than 2,000 pieces of content. It aims to serve as a resource for entrepreneurs, like a Netflix for budding business people. Forbes8 costs $8.99 a month in the U.S.

“Forbes calls it a ‘purpose-built product,’ with the goal of providing them with information, advice, tips and tools.

“‘With more than 100 million new businesses expected to launch this year worldwide, there is a tremendous need for a business-advice on-demand network around the world. Forbes8 fills that void while also providing a sense of community with others on the same journey,’ stated Forbes’ Chief Growth Officer Tom Davis.

“It is the first time Forbes has created a digital video network of this kind.”
