And what are your plans for revenue? How do you plan to make money? You'll be dealing with a lot of legal questions related to IP licensing, and the legal fees alone would eat your $100k in a month or two, even before the licensing costs for the videos.
All-in-all, I can't fault the investor for turning you down. You haven't put enough thought into the business aspects of your idea for him to entrust his money to you.

Sounds very interesting. I was thinking about this the other day in the context of golf. Thanks to Youtube, I can learn from watching the swing of any player in the world/history. But while a golf swing takes only 2 seconds or so, they're all "locked up" in lengthy videos. And forget about searching for one person's swing vs another.
This isn't the best example of this feature, but it sure has saved me a lot of time in other queries that I can't recall at the moment.
The idea is a service that could open the black box of online video content. Right now you search for something and get the whole video as a result; if it's a 3 hour long podcast you're going to be doing a lot of seeking for specific information. I want to index and enable deep visualized search through video libraries and in videos. Basically splitting videos into linguistically salient topics, keywords and entities. That would allow you to analyze and visualize content (YouTube channels, videos, etc.) to find interesting information. Good for researchers and people looking for something specific, or people wanting to find new content (relationship graphs).
