I think it would've helped to separate the sales/marketing form the how to talk to investors portion, as this lecture seemed to pack a lot of material into a short period.
Having said that, I think the sales and marketing part was done pretty well. It didn't cover a lot of sales tactics, but the fact that it was highly focused on the $0-1M in revenue portion of a company was important. There is lots of 'startup' sales advice out there that is more focussed on scaling sales and sales process, which is generally more useful for companies greater than $5M in Rev.
They both tackle the same spot in time, the crossroad. Blow or getting funded / making revenue. You are right, but that is why I think they are bundeled.
