Ziv Ragowsky, Co-Founder of Wright Partners, joins Jeremy Au to unpack why corporate venture building remains one of Southeast Asia's hardest but most misunderstood innovation strategies. They explore how large corporations chase growth under pressure, why many internal ventures fail before traction, and how misaligned incentives quietly destroy promising ideas. The conversation covers when companies should build instead of buy, how lean venture design keeps startups investable, and why founder equity must evolve as risk shifts over time. Ziv also shares how venture builders act as translators between corporate logic and startup execution, and why honest advice sometimes means telling a client not to build at all. 03:00 Early ventures look irrelevant inside giant corporates: Small pilot businesses struggle to survive because billion-dollar organizations cannot emotionally commit to tiny revenue bets. 03:55 Overpromising innovation creates failure incentives: Corporates exaggerate projections to justify programs, which pushes ventures into unhealthy growth behavior. 08:45 Build only when buying makes no strategic sense: Companies should create new ventures only when acquisition is overpriced or the problem is uniquely theirs to solve. 15:00 Lean venture budgets protect future funding: Startups that spend like corporates become uninvestable before reaching real traction. 18:10 Corporate-heavy cap tables scare investors: Excess ownership and control crush founder motivation and block external capital. 20:15 Founder-led governance attracts venture capital: Investors prefer startups structured for entrepreneurial control rather than corporate hierarchy. 22:10 Honest advice sometimes means refusing to build: Saying no to bad ventures preserves long-term outcomes even if it costs short-term business.

Harish Bhat spent 38 years with the Tata Group, working across businesses that reach millions of Indians every day, including Titan, Tanishq, and Tata Tea.He joins Neon Show for a 3rd time and reflects on what it meant to build inside a 150+ year-old institution.

Donald Chew discusses the evolution of corporate finance, emphasizing the shift from old-fashioned corporate finance, which focused on steady earnings growth, to modern corporate finance, which aims for high returns on capital. He highlights the decline of conglomerates in the 1970s and the rise of private equity. Despite criticism, Chew argues that modern corporate finance has been a success story, citing the doubling of U.S. public company market capitalization in the 1980s and the significant correlation of R&D and selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) expenses with corporate value. He also addresses the financial crisis, arguing it was due to mispriced mortgages and government policies, not market inefficiencies. Donald Chew is the founding editor of the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, and joins show host Gene Tunny to discuss his latest book, The Making of Modern Corporate Finance, published by Columbia University Press.If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for Gene, please email him at contact@economicsexplored.com.About this episode's guest: Donald ChewDon Chew is the founding editor and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance (JACF), a publication he started almost 30 years ago.

Carlo Chen-Delantar, Co-founder of Gobi-Core Philippine Fund, and Jeremy Au discussed: 1. Philippines 2025 Challenges: Carlo highlighted the 2024 Philippine Horizons Report, calling for the full implementation of the Innovative Startup Act of 2019 to address gaps in visas, taxes, and funding. Ambitious goals, such as creating four unicorns by 2030 (with GCash and Maya leading), face challenges from bureaucratic inefficiencies like the six-month minimum timeline for establishing businesses. The BPO sector, a significant economic driver, faces disruption from AI-driven automation. Incomplete infrastructure projects, promised under the Duterte administration, also hinder the country's competitiveness. 2. Trump Geopolitical Tensions: Under the Trump administration, U.S.-China decoupling in global trade policies will impact the Philippines' reliance on Chinese imports, which dominate platforms like Lazada. Carlo noted that over 50% of cars sold in 2024 were Chinese EV brands, reflecting this dependence. The West Philippine/ South China Sea dispute can also increase tensions with China. 3. Corporate vs. Independent VCs: Corporate venture capital (CVC) dominates the Philippines, similar to Thailand, while independent VCs remain limited. Conglomerates like Ayala and Aboitiz support talent development, but the ecosystem lacks robust support for independent startups. As the Philippines approaches middle-high-income status by 2026, it must emulate successful pro-local policies in Indonesia, such as fostering unicorns like GoTo, to stimulate long-term growth. Carlo highlighted the risks of CVC dominance in curbing the broader multiplier effects independent startups offer.

Overpopulation? How about some real statistics. Does the past elitist view of eugenics factor into this? ICE AGE coming! No wait...its GLOBAL WARMING! Damn, not happening...CLIMATE CRISIS! Really, where is the problem? These authoritative models are always WAY off. As well they bring about dread and fear. Pollution is real, but the collective average person is not the problem. Huge industries and militaries have a major impact you should know about. Centralized power? All of our choices are being eaten up by huge conglomerate corporations. Creating monopolies where we only have the illusion of choice. Everything you want and need to live is owned by a handful of entities! But... there is always another way than the supposed divine direction provided by elite propaganda.

Harvard University has been in the news recently for all the wrong reasons, and in particular because of its plagiarist president. But the problems did not start with Claudine Gay. Her immediate predecessor, a man called Larry Bacow, has his own major scandal—albeit one that hardly anyone knows about. Bacow has a long history of embracing the Chinese Communist Party, a practice that reached its pinnacle in February of 2020, when Bacow took in a $115 million donation from China. Well, perhaps we should call it a bribe, because donations do not normally have strings attached. And this bribe had the very strangest of strings attached. Bacow was tasked by China's Evergrande Group with putting CCP officials in touch with Anthony Fauci. It's a truly bizarre story that goes right to the heart of the COVID origin cover-up. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
