In this episode of the Dealmakers' Podcast, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Carl Hartmann, an Australian entrepreneur who has taken his innovative ideas and turned them into two successful businesses. His latest venture, Lyre's Spirit Co has attracted funding from top-tier investors like Futurecraft Ventures, VRD Investment, Doehler Ventures, DLF Venture, and DLF Venture.

Serial entrepreneur & Lyre's Spirit Co co-founder Carl Hartmann offers a Masterclass in the most important pitfalls to AVOID in any startup; what's Return on EFFORT, and how to get it right; and how Lyre's Spirit Co struggled through, but survived Covid lockdowns, shutdowns in hospitality & global supply chain dramas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Noosa-based Carl Hartmann started cooking up entrepreneurial business ideas while at university in Queensland. His most recent startup, with his uni mate and co-founder Mark Livings, took shape first in the UK, and then exploded on the scene back home in Australia in mid 2019. The pair created Lyre's Spirit Co, a brand and product line of alcohol-free spirits, like gin, bourbon, even tequila. They claim years of research & tinkering on their “liquids” gave them an edge – quality products that so closely mimic the original spirit but without the alcohol, so no hangover. Now Lyre's Spirits are available in 75 countries around the world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For many consumers, mindful drinking is top of mind. A 2021 omnibus survey conducted by market research firm NielsenIQ showed that 22% Americans are cutting back on their alcoholic beverage consumption, citing health and wellness and shifting interests as two core reasons. Concurrent with a rise in interest for sober or sober-curious lifestyles is the emergence of a new cohort of non-alcoholic spirit and cocktail brands, including Lyre's. Launched in 2019 by entrepreneurs Mark Livings and Carl Hartmann, Lyre's markets non-alcoholic analogs of the world's most popular spirits, including bourbon, gin and tequila. Positioned as premium, sophisticated spirit alternatives without any compromise, Lyre's  blitz-scaling strategy has enabled it to become the world's leading non-alcoholic brand with distribution in dozens of countries.  Investors have taken note of Lyre's growth: last year, the company completed a new funding round at a $360 million valuation and was led by D Squared Capital and Morgan Creek Capital Management, an early investor in Drizly, AliBaba, and SpaceX. In this episode, Livings spoke about his vision for Lyre's and the future of non-alcoholic spirits, why the company has prioritized market share and rapid growth, the development of its portfolio and product road map, Lyre's thoughtful communication strategy and how his management style supports Lyre's torrid trajectory. Show notes: 0:45: Mark Livings, Co-Founder/CEO, Lyre's – Livings spoke with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif about why he lives and works in Amsterdam, the emergence of the low/no-alc beverage category, the variety of consumers that Lyre's is targeting, and the reason that the company is in so many global markets. He also explained how Lyre's is attempting to be synonymous with non-alcoholic spirits, the brand's focus on being a “first scaler,” the importance of “the referral moment,” and how the company produces its liquid. Later, he discussed Lyre's innovation strategy and why it launched an RTD line, its approach to aligning promotion and  communication with things like “Dry January” and “Sober October,” and how he manages and motivates a global team remotely.

Today, we continue the conversation with an Australian serial entrepreneur. Best known for co-founding the start-up Temando where he layered a level of technical intelligence over the entire fulfillment process of goods - It became one of the biggest technology companies in Australia – raising $56M in funding, and establishing 5 major global offices which was recently sold to a $1.5B Revenue French Listed Company!In many ways, he is living every Start Ups dream, and yet, I’m sure we will hear about the hurdles he had to jump to make it a success.

It actively compares and contrasts candidates and rank orders them according to suitability. Shortlyster helps companies save time and money in their recruitment process and more importantly, help them get the right candidates with the right skills, the right qualifications, and right person-fit characteristics.
