Case Study: UC Berkeley SkyDeck achieves competitive differentiation and faster deal-closing with Vocal Video

U.C. Berkeley SkyDeck Showcases their Competitive Differentiation with Video Testimonials

UC Berkeley Skydeck, an accelerator that helps startups founded by UC Berkeley students, alumni, and faculty bring scientific and technical discoveries to market, faced a challenge in showcasing its differentiation: founders are globally dispersed and hard to gather for high-quality testimonial content. To address this, UC Berkeley Skydeck turned to Vocal Video to capture founder stories that validate SkyDeck’s value-add without the time, cost, and logistics of traditional video shoots.

Vocal Video provided a streamlined platform for collecting and producing short testimonial videos and sound bites remotely, eliminating the need for camera crews and accelerating content creation. As a result, UC Berkeley Skydeck has been able to publish credible, founder-driven social and email content that enhances outreach, helps close deals and attract investments, and increases engagement with potential portfolio companies — all delivered faster and with less production overhead thanks to Vocal Video.
