In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Philippe Botteri, partner at Accel, who shares the 2024 Accel Europe: AI Eating Software. "Just look at the past couple of years, there's been $56 billion invested in AI companies and two thirds of that has gone into the top six companies of each region of the US and Europe, and also two thirds of that money has gone into foundation models. So what we're seeing is AI is really driving the growth and very concentrated in a very small number of companies both in the US and Europe."

Gas venting, flaring, and leakage accounts for tremendous wastage. An estimated 267 billion cubic metres (BCM) of natural gas could be made available to gas markets with a global effort to reduce methane emissions and tackle non-emergency flaring. These volumes amount to over 70% of the EU's annual gas consumption, which was estimated at 360 BCM in 2023, and could be worth $48 billion.This wasteful practice harms not only the environment due to high heat-trapping potential of methane, it also harms the health of local communities in the vicinity. Conversely, if this gas was captured instead of wasted into the atmosphere, it would produce revenues for producers, energy security for purchasers, and help slow near-term global warming.Unfortunately, this major opportunity isn't on the radar of companies, banks and governments for several reasons. This is in part due to poor data on flaring and emissions, the lack of internal incentives to prioritize their reduction, and high competition for other company priorities. Even when gas-recovery prospects are identified, project development can be expensive and risky, and the economic feasibility can be hampered by tax regimes, expensive borrowing costs, and poor visibility on upstream demand for abated gas.This event will bring stakeholders together to discuss a new whitepaper from CATF, illustrating how the EU's You Collect We Buy initiative can be shaped to capture and market gas that would have been leaked, vented or flared.Ahead of the EU's anticipated engagement at COP29 on methane reductions in the energy sector, this event will consider how to build the necessary engagement, coordination, and partnerships to capitalise on these opportunities, and create economic, energy, and climate benefits for all.CATF's Report "Developing an Implementation Plan for ‘You Collect We Buy' Capitalising on the gas capture opportunity" can be accessed here: https://www.catf.us/resource/developing-implementation-plan-you-collect-we-buy/

Today, we are delighted to welcome Alfonso Diaz, CEO of La Liga's Real Mallorca. We've wanted to do a show featuring a Spanish club for a long time, and Mallorca is a truly unique club to do this with. From an ownership structure featuring legendary NBA All Stars Steve Nash and Steve Kerr, to mobilising not just a hugely passionate local island fanbase, but a booming tourist industry, Real Mallorca is re-establishing itself as one of the country's most prominent clubs. They have been down to the third division and back over the last ten years, but now after four consecutive seasons in La Liga and a historic run to the Copa del Rey final last year, it's time to build on the success of the club both on and off the field. Alfonso is playing a key role in this from the business side. The importance of media rights, leveraging shall we call it ‘island status' to drive brand and partnerships, building a new stadium and enhancing fan experience; this is the inside track on how to run a team in Spain. In today's show, we discuss: Reemergence of Real Mallorca The importance of stability. Relegated to the third division of Spanish football in 2017, the club is now off the back of its fourth consecutive year in La Liga. What goes into transforming a club? The role of Alfonso and the leadership team in returning this historic club to the top division. New ownership from the US including NBA legends Steve Nash and Steve Kerr, and the value of engaged ownership groups. The impact of a memorable run to the Copa del Rey final and building bridges with a passionate fanbase. Football finance: How do clubs make money? The difference in revenue as you move through the divisions; from €5m to €85m and the impact of media rights on a clubs ability to spend. The importance of sponsorships and aligning with brands that share the same values. What are the opportunities provided by being an island community when driving business growth? How the CVC investment of €2bn in La Liga has allowed the clubs to accelerate projects that would have taken them 10 years to finance. Developing club brand: The challenges with recovering brand value when on the field performance doesn't match the history of the club. Capitalising on a booming island tourist industry; 17 million people visit the island each year. What is the value of being the third most engaged with club in Japan on social media and how to create commercial value from international markets. Building a new stadium with a focus on experiential to give the fans more than just the 90 minutes of football they watch each weekend.

Irish fintech companies have a golden opportunity to attract high-calibre talent at leadership level in H2 of this year and overcome the significant skills shortage in the sector, according to Barry Guiney, COO and Head of the Scale Up Collective at executive search firm Odgers Berndtson Ireland. Ireland's fintech sector has seen remarkable growth in recent years. From 2018 to 2022, the number of fintech firms in Ireland grew by 250%, while the amount of safeguarded funds increased by over 700% to €7.56 billion. Adding to the positive momentum in the sector, Ireland this week backed a €150m fintech-focused venture capital fund, MiddleGame Ventures, with Ireland's sovereign wealth fund ISIF committing €20 million, along with other investors like the European Investment Fund (EIF) pledging €32 million, S&P Global and the Luxembourg Future Fund (LFF). "However, Ireland's rapid fintech expansion has outpaced the skills market, with the majority of Irish fintechs experiencing a skills shortage - something visible at a leadership level," said Guiney. "As fintechs navigate increasingly complex regulations and manage growing user transactions, there is a pressing need for leaders in Irish fintechs who possess specific skills," he said. Addressing the need for regulatory experience "As fintech companies navigate complex regulations and manage increasing user transactions, the demand for leaders with specific expertise has intensified, " said Guiney. "Recent regulatory developments, such as the EU's inclusion of buy-now-pay-later providers under regulatory frameworks, highlight the pressing need for experienced compliance and risk management leaders." Guiney noted that leaders from traditional financial services bring advanced regulatory and operational strategies crucial for the maturing fintech sector. "We've seen a trend of appointing leaders from asset management, insurance, and traditional banking to fintech positions over the past few years," he said. Leveraging Ireland's tech talent pool The tech market is currently rich with available leadership talent, primarily due to recent "right-sizing" efforts by large multinational tech companies. "This shift has made experienced leaders in global operations and commercial management more accessible to Irish fintechs, presenting a unique opportunity to enhance commercial operations and gain a competitive edge," said Guiney. "However, the landscape has changed significantly, and now, leadership talent with substantial experience in global operations and commercial management is more accessible than it ever has been. This availability presents huge opportunities for Irish fintechs to absorb the sort of high-calibre leadership talent that could transform their commercial operations and provide a competitive edge in the tech domain." Capitalising on the right skills on the market "Many tech leaders in Ireland possess valuable experience in highly transactional fields, such as e-commerce, where PCI-compliance is mandatory. This background translates well into the fintech industry, which requires a deep understanding of high-velocity, high-trust environments like those found in real money gaming and platform systems. These sectors provide a robust training ground for handling the complex regulatory demands of fintech. "In Ireland, the scenario is particularly favourable. The global operations of multinationals have often focused less on design and build and more on critical operational aspects such as licensing, anti-money laundering, and risk management. "What's more, when companies like Revolut adjusted their strategies and decommissioned certain operations, it left a reservoir of these skilled professionals in the market," said Guiney. "These individuals are now available and come with a skill set highly transferable to fintechs, neo banks, and payment gateways - sectors where there is high volume and stringent regulatory compliance, especially concerning anti-money laundering and risk ma...

Do you find yourself wondering, “how can I get more out of my creative flow?” Our best ideas often come in flow-state- when we are calm and in ‘the zone.' My clients often share with me how they can capitalise on flow and maximise their ideas to the fullest potential. Most people go about this the wrong way. They take a ‘capitalist' approach. If you want to capitalise on flow, how you do it is (ironically) NOT by the traditional capitalism mindset which says: Preserve what you can Take more than you need Expand as much as possible Instead, it's about learning to “ride the flow wave.” It's about being in a specific state of mind. Too much structure and conditions will extinguish flow, so it's about working with the balance. That's why in this episode I'm teaching you: how to lean into the flow wave how to direct your focus efficiently the importance of releasing control how you can utilise systems to help you “catch” the flow wave when it comes Enjoy the episode!

Indian markets largely remained flat on Wednesday. For a second consecutive day, benchmark indices closed in the red with both Nifty and Sensex ending the day less than 0.1 per cent below their previous close. In 2020 the central government production linked incentive or PLI scheme. Hailed by the commerce ministry, with an outlay of almost 2 trillion rupees, the scheme aimed at supporting manufacturing growth in 14 different sectors spanning industries such as electronics, pharma and textile among others. The government is now set to tweak the flagship scheme by periodically reviewing its performance across different sectors and making necessary adjustments. This move aims to revitalise sectors lagging in progress and potentially eliminate the scheme in areas lacking investor interest and advancement. While the scheme has seen varying degrees of success across sectors, with electronics and pharmaceuticals among the beneficiaries, others like IT hardware and textiles have shown slower progress. Mint's senior assistant editor Rhik Kundu reports on the government's proactive approach, which includes restructuring the scheme for underperforming sectors, enhancing efficiency, and positioning Indian manufacturers on the global stage. Moody's, Fitch, Standards and Poor. If you follow business or economy news you have probably heard these names a lot. These are sovereign debt rating agencies which rate countries based on their creditworthiness. These rating agencies grade countries based on several factors such as economic conditions, political climate and their ability to pay back a loan. The grade stretch from AAA for a country with a good credit score to D for countries that are unlikely to pay back the loan. Now an Indian player is set to jump into the sovereign debt rating game. Care Ratings Ltd, is set to debut in sovereign debt ratings, beginning with Asia and Africa and eventually targeting Europe. To facilitate this expansion, the company is establishing CareEdge Global IFSC Ltd in GIFT City, focusing initially on countries like Nepal, Mauritius, and South Africa where it has a footprint. Speaking to Mint's senior editors Shayan Ghosh and Satish John, Mehul Pandya, the managing director and CEO of CareEdge, talked about the strategic move towards rating foreign currency denominated debt through the GIFT City subsidiary. March saw a surge in the sales of electric two wheelers across the country. More than 1.3 lakh electric scooters and bikes were sold in March. The reason? Consumers rushed to capitalise on the soon-to-be-reduced government subsidies, which were cut by more than half. But it is not all rosy for the electric two wheeler makers, in fact if the numbers tell a completely different story. FY24 recorded the slowest EV adoption rate since FY21, primarily affected by a significant subsidy reduction last June. This reduction slashed the subsidy from covering 40% of the ex-factory price to just 15%. This marked a stark contrast to the almost six-fold rise in e-scooter sales witnessed in FY21 after the FAME-2 subsidy was tweaked. Mint's autos correspondents Alisha Sachdev and Manjul Paul report on the dwindling numbers of e-scooter sales which follows a slash in government subsidies.It was 24 September 2007, a regular Monday for the rest of the world. But that day in South Africa's Johannesburg, something happened that would change India's sporting landscape forever. When Pakistan's Misbah ul Haq scooped Indian pacer Joginder Sharma's delivery towards short fine leg, he was caught by Sreeshanth. With that catch, India did not only beat Pakistan at the finals of the T20 world cup, but also started a domino effect that would bring forth one of the biggest sporting leagues in the world. After India beat its arch rival and won the world cup, this new format became all the rage. Capitalising on better watchability of this three-hour long format of the gentleman's game, BCCI launched its very own Cricket league - the Indian Premier League. Cricket hasn't looked back since then in India. Since its inception in 2008, the IPL has emerged as a financial powerhouse, significantly influencing the sports sponsorship, endorsement, and advertising landscape in India. A report by GroupM highlights that investments in these areas have escalated from 2,423 crore rupees to 15,766 crore rupees in 2023. IPL commanded an astonishing 87% share of last year's total spend. This dominance is underscored by a Brand Finance report showing the IPL's brand valuation surged by 433% in 2023, crossing the 10 billion dollar milestone. The IPL's unparalleled popularity and financial success, driven by a massive 430 million TV audience, contrast sharply with other sports leagues. Despite their efforts, these leagues struggle to match the IPL's appeal, with even the Pro Kabaddi League, the second most popular, reaching only 226 million viewers. The disparity in financial and viewer support highlights the challenging landscape for other sports leagues attempting to emulate the IPL's success model. Mint's senior editor Varuni Khosla takes a deep dive into the modalities of the financial juggernaut that is the Indian Premier League. Vistara is grappling with a series of flight cancellations and delays. According to the airline, inadequate crew rostering is to blame. Now, the carrier is looking to curtail its network for the month of May, people close to the development told Mint's Shrrejay Sinha. CEO Vinod Kannan addressed the issue with pilots after widespread disruptions led to passenger inconvenience. The airline's inability to manage pilot schedules, especially in March, resulted in operational chaos due to a significant rise in unplanned sick leaves. Vistara, merging with Air India under the Tata Group, is transitioning to a uniform pay structure, affecting pilots' salaries and potentially contributing to the disruptions.

Thanks to the growing prominence of Artificial intelligence (AI), .ai, the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Anguilla has experienced an exponential increase in the take-up of .ai domains. However, Caribbean countries have not been aggressive in increasing the take-up and use of their ccTLDs, though there are numerous opportunities to be had. With longstanding players in the global Internet Governance space, Lance Hinds, of Guyana, and Carlton Samuels, of Jamaica, we discuss: * the benefits of using ccTLDs; * why some countries enjoy a large number of active ccTLDs; * reasons why Caribbean countries have not sought to foster greater use of their ccTLDs; and * ways in which Caribbean countries can increase the attractiveness and consequently the value of their ccTLDs.

While Nucleus Wealth maintains ethical standards of integrity, honesty and reliability, it does not seek to impose these on its investors. Rather, Nucleus Wealth offers investors a system of investment that incorporates three core strategies: (i) customisable; (ii) transparent; and (iii) safe. Within this, investors are given the ability to customise their investments insofar as it aligns with their ethical preferences, rather than that of the fund manager, by using screens and tilts. Once the investor's portfolio has been adjusted, Nucleus Wealth provides the investor with a company profile, access to performance dashboards and detailed monthly performance reports of each company within the investor's portfolio to further inform the investor on their investment decision and the company's ethical standing as it aligns with the screens and tilts opted for. Nucleus Wealth utilises a number of domestic and international sources to identify whether companies from particular countries or sectors fall within the categories of screens and tilts which the investor may choose to apply. While Nucleus Wealth undertakes its own fundamental analysis on each company, there is also the risk that investors could reach a different conclusion to Nucleus Wealth on whether a company falls within the frame of responsible filters being applied.

This week I am talking to Randi Tangney, an Employment attorney in the USA. Randi talks about becoming a mum and role model to three incredible girls whilst also trying to resolve the physical and mental demands of breastfeeding, no sleep, pumping and fitting a baby into a trial schedule. Randi also shares the additional barriers women in the US face to having a family and a career when she describes how her healthcare cover was tied to her job, and so leaving her job to care for her child was never an option, especially not when her unborn child was diagnosed with Myelomeningocele, a severe form of spina bifida requiring in-utero surgery. We also wonder whether one way to improve outcomes for working mums is to record the cost of parental leave as an investment in the company's balance sheet rather than as a cost to the P&L, and Randi recommends we all read The Fifth Trimester by Lauren Smith Brody.

Today I'm answering a question from a listener who's wondering if it's okay to repeat content topics on her podcast or whether each episode needs to be fresh and new. I'm a big believer in repeating content topics, perhaps with a slightly different spin and in this episode, I'm sharing my views on why this is beneficial to your audience - and your business.- How to ensure your audience won't get bored when you repeat the same content- Why repetition is actually a good thing and can help your audience- Capitalising on your own growth and understanding of concepts over time- Why it's totally okay to rebroadcast and provide a 'best of' episode or series- How taking a more specific approach or a higher level view of the same content can create offshoot topics that resonateHave a question you'd like me to answer on the show?

Danny DeVito's blackly comic THE WAR OF THE ROSES (1989) charts the disintegration of a marriage as Barbara and Oliver Rose try anything and everything to drive each other out of the shared marital home during a vicious divorce battle. Capitalising on the obvious chemistry between leads Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas as well as their shared cinematic history in 80's romantic comedies ROMANCING THE STONE and THE JEWEL OF THE NILE, director Danny DeVito chooses to frame the story by having his lawyer character Gavin D'Amato tell a potential client, at work, about multiple sexual encounters which occurred between the lead characters, their eventual deaths (spoiler alert) and also the time he got a footjob during their dinner party. Whilst the dialogue is slick the tone feels uneven, veering from broad slapstick to darkly humorous fantasy, with a little film noir thrown in because why not. Coupled with some overly elaborate camera moves and a preposterous number of split-diopter shots, the stylistic overload will exhaust you just as much as the relentless and unpleasant bickering of the lead characters.We love to hear from our listeners!

In 2007 the online space started to thrive, Angela was ready for change, and change she got! As a top earner in the Direct Selling industry, Angela Lucente shares her tried and tested experiences of growing a business. From Bricks and Mortar to Direct Selling she says the decision to switch was easy because: She realised Direct Selling is a business model with little to no overheads. You can earn the same amount of income or more! So If you're thinking of jumping into the Direct Selling industry, Party Plan, Direct Marketing or maybe MLM this is the interview for you! You'll hear the do's and don'ts of approaching your network, key income earning ideas and what type of conversations you should be having. Get that pen and paper ready, you won't want to miss a thing!

Although Angela was, at first, a little unsure of business models that offer high return for little financial investment, she was intrigued by the idea of working less and earning more… even if it did sound a little cliche. Capitalising on her expertise in working with and mentoring teams of people meant her business grew very fast and beyond expectations within only a few short months. Through this experience she was convinced that the industry provided a powerful vehicle for creating wealth and lifestyle as long as people felt supported and received the right training. Making a support platform the focus for her business has enabled Angela to celebrate many successes within the teams she has helped create. She is now very proud to be a part of history with the fastest growing and founding J-Fire Global Partners team in Australia.
