bto - beyond the obvious 2.0 - der neue Ökonomie-Podcast von Dr. Daniel Stelter

Im April 2005 nannte der damalige SPD-Chef Franz Müntefering Finanzinvestoren „Heuschrecken" – auf der internen SPD-Liste standen elf Namen: KKR, Apax, Goldman Sachs, BC Partners, Carlyle, Permira, Blackstone, CVC, Advent, Saban und WCM. Münteferings Lehrstück war die Grohe AG. Einundzwanzig Jahre später ist Grohe globaler Marktführer im Sanitärbereich, Hauptsitz Düsseldorf, mehrere tausend Beschäftigte. Bei Grohe ist die Heuschrecke zu einem Aufbauhelfer geworden.Im Juni 2026 fand in Berlin die SuperReturn International statt – das weltgrößte Branchentreffen mit über 6.000 Investoren aus 80 Ländern und rund 50 Billionen Dollar Anlagevermögen. Die deutsche Realität dazu: Jedes vierte Startup erwägt laut Digitalwirtschaftsverband Bitkom, das Land zu verlassen, weil es hier keine Wachstumsfinanzierung findet. Über 75 Prozent des Wagniskapitals im ersten Quartal 2026 kamen aus dem Ausland. 2,8 Billionen Euro Anlagekapital liegen in deutschen Versicherungen, Pensionskassen und Stiftungen. 14 Milliarden Euro davon könnten jährlich in deutsche Wachstumsunternehmen fließen – wenn die Regeln passen würden. Die deutsche Wachstumsfrage ist eine deutsche Kapitalfrage.Daniel Stelter spricht darüber mit Ulrike Hinrichs, Hauptgeschäftsführerin des Bundesverbandes Beteiligungskapital (BVK), der sich selbst als Stimme der Venture-Capital- und Private-Equity-Branche in Deutschland bezeichnet.Hinweis ABSTURZ – So retten wir Deutschland: das neue Buch von Daniel Stelter.

#96 Co-Value Creating: Warum klassischer B2B-Vertrieb ein Systemfehler ist – mit Klaus Schein

Warum scheitern B2B-Innovationen oft nicht an der Technologie, sondern schlichtweg am System? In Folge 96 von Working with Startups from Science begrüßt Host Nicolas Rode Klaus Schein, den Programmdirektor für Co-Creation an der Steinbeis-University Schools of Next Practices in Berlin und Autor des Fachbuchs „Co-Value Creating – Mit strategischen Kunden nachhaltig wachsen“. Klaus blickt auf eine über 45-jährige Karriere zurück, von den Anfängen als Entwicklungsingenieur bei Rohde & Schwarz über Stationen bei HP, GE und Rockwell Automation bis zu seiner heutigen Rolle als Architekt für moderne Zusammenarbeit. Das Kernproblem: Die Sackgasse der VorleistungenViele Unternehmen stecken in einer lähmenden Falle : Kunden fordern hochspezifische Gesamtlösungen an. Das Engineering investiert beträchtliche Ressourcen und Know-how in detaillierte Angebote. Am Ende legt der Anbieter sein geistiges Eigentum offen , woraufhin der Einkauf das Konzept nutzt, um den Preis im Gespräch mit Mitbewerbern drastisch zu drücken. Das führt zu einem Teufelskreis aus extremem Margendruck und Innovationsstau. „Wir verlieren nicht wegen Technik oder Beziehung. Wir verlieren wegen des Systems.“ – Klaus Schein Wenn der Anbieter in Vorleistung geht und der Kunde erst sehr spät entscheidet, entsteht ein einseitiges Risiko, das wertvolle Kapazitäten bindet und mühsam erarbeitetes Know-how abfließen lässt. Die Lösung: Co-Value Creating (CVC) & „Beweis vor Budget“Die Antwort auf dieses Dilemma lautet Co-Value Creating (CVC). Das Prinzip bricht radikal mit der rein transaktionalen Logik und setzt konsequent auf das Credo „Beweis vor Budget“. Leistung wird direkt an verbindliche Entscheidungen gekoppelt. Hierzu dient der von Klaus Schein entwickelte evolutionäre VICI-Prozess. Kultureller Wandel und SteuerungsinstrumenteKlaus schöpft aus Erlebnissen bei HP („HP Way“) und GE, wo Jack Welch als „Chief Fun Officer“ Vorgesetzte als Wegräumer verstand. Um Silokämpfe zu überwinden , entwarf er eine Matrix, welche die Beidhändigkeit (Ambidextrie) zwischen dem Nutzen des Bestehenden (Exploit) und dem Erkunden des Neuen (Explore) sichert und vier Basiskulturen integriert: Stabilität, Agilität, Leistung und Innovation. Für die operative Umsetzung bietet CVC konkrete Steuerungswerkzeuge : den CVC-Index mit dem Value Influence Score (VIS) und Work Probability Index (WPI) , das prozessagnostische VOTE-Modell , das Prisma-Modell für vier Dimensionen (strategisch, kaufmännisch, operativ, technisch) sowie das RISE-Framework zur Skalierung. Hinzu kommt die IPPP-Logik (Invest in People & Planet to multiply Profit) : Wer konsequent in Mitarbeiter und Nachhaltigkeit investiert, realisiert Einsparungen und generiert eine enkeltaugliche Rendite. Für wen ist diese Folge relevant? Inhaber, Geschäftsführer, Vertriebsleitungen, Key Account Manager sowie Verantwortliche aus Engineering und Operations.

Outperformance in private equity is no longer defined by leverage or multiple expansion; disciplined value creation will be the decisive factor in future investment success. In this episode, AD Bhatia, Robin Ligon, and Jason Phillips are joined by CVC’s John Kelleher to discuss the key shifts in today’s PE environment and share five moves firms are making in response.

En el análisis de mercados, David Cortina, responsable de renta variable de Santander Private Banking, analiza el comportamiento de compañías como Naturgy, beneficiada por la subida del gas derivada de la tensión con Irán y por la salida de CVC de su accionariado, aunque persisten dudas sobre la estrategia de crecimiento inorgánico y el futuro del management.

In this episode, Anish Patel, chief investment and operating officer at Yamaha Motor Ventures shares how Yamaha is rethinking corporate venture capital as a core driver of long-term growth and innovation. Rather than treating CVC as a standalone function, Yamaha is building a more integrated approach—connecting venture investing with strategic partnerships and internal business priorities. Recorded at the Global Corporate Venturing and Innovation (GCVI) Summit in March of this year, the conversation explores how Yamaha is evolving its model to move beyond traditional investing and toward deeper collaboration with startups. Anish discusses how this approach enables faster innovation cycles, stronger alignment with business units, and new opportunities across emerging technologies.

El Consell Valencià de Cultura respalda de forma unánime esta prueba por su impacto en la desestacionalización del turismo y la lucha contra la despoblación. Se explica en qué consiste el raid, por qué el territorio es idóneo para esta disciplina y cómo ha convertido a la comarca en un destino habitual de entrenamiento para jinetes nacionales e internacionales, con estancias prolongadas y efectos directos en el alojamiento, la restauración y los servicios locales.El espacio recoge también las propuestas del CVC para consolidar este modelo, como la creación de infraestructuras permanentes, el impulso de la Copa de los Tres Reinos y el desarrollo de un centro hípico de alto rendimiento. Se subraya la implicación de la población de Ademuz en la organización del evento y el potencial de la actividad ecuestre como motor económico estable para el Rincón de Ademuz.En la segunda parte, el programa viaja por otros destinos y experiencias: la ruta motera solidaria Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, con final en Rocafort; un viaje internacional a Budapest, repasando su historia, patrimonio, termas y gastronomía; y una propuesta gastronómica en el barrio del Carmen de València, con un local de tapeo de barrio como cierre del programa.

Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: What is an internal jugular catheter (IJ) and when do we use it? IJs are catheters that can be placed in either the left or the right internal jugular vein to provide central venous catheter (CVC) access. CVCs can be placed in other locations other than the internal jugular vein (i.e. subclavian vein or femoral veins). IJs are used when the patient may require long-term venous access or have to receive hyperosmolar solutions (such as solutions with high glucose content for parenteral nutrition); solutions with extreme pHs (9); or vesicant drugs (drugs that can cause tissue necrosis with extravasation). They are not to be confused with EJs (external jugular vein catheters) which can be placed in difficult to peripherally catheterize patients. EJs function similarly to a peripheral IV. The advantage of IJs is their location in larger veins brings them closer to direct access to the heart (i.e. the right internal jugular vein will provide immediate/quicker access to the right atrium to the heart.) What are concerns of using a right internal jugular catheter versus one in the left? The right internal jugular vein provides quick access to the heart via the right atrium, making it ideal in critically ill patients who may require vasopressor support. However it is also the site commonly used for additional cannulation procedures such as hemodialysis, pulmonary artery pressure measurements, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and transvenous pacemaker placement. These procedures are not uncommon in critically ill patients who also required a CVC for initial hemodynamic support via vasopressors. Gharaibeh et al. found that patients who received a right IJ and hemodialysis had a higher need for re-insertion of the hemodialysis catheter (40% compared to 2.6% in the left IJ group). Furthermore, it was found that with a right IJ, hemodialysis catheters had to be exchanged by a guidewire in 23% of those with a right IJ as opposed to 0.9% in the left IJ group (a guidewire exchange is often considered a salvage technique to try and maintain access). Big Takeaway? If you are able to obtain an IJ on the right, you can likely obtain one on the left, and if considering longitudinal care for your patient, consider obtaining an IJ on the left to allow for future critical access in the right IJ.

What does “smart money” actually mean in beverage — especially in one of the most capital-intensive categories in CPG?In this sponsored episode, we sit down with Karen Xiang, Investment Lead at Btomorrow Ventures, the corporate venture arm backed by British American Tobacco. And we go deep into how corporate venture capital is evolving — and what it really means for founders building functional and full-size beverage brands today.Btomorrow Ventures (BTV) is not a traditional VC fund. With a £150M first fund and a newly launched £200M second fund, BTV is investing across “better brands” and “better habits” — with a particular focus in the U.S. on full-size functional beverages and functional snacks. But capital is only part of the story.Karen explains how BTV's new in-house growth platform is designed to unlock operating leverage — connecting portfolio brands to distribution pilots, commercialization support, data analytics, and internal expertise inside a global FMCG infrastructure.For founders, this episode is an insightful discussion about:•  What corporate venture capital (CVC) actually is — and how it differs from traditional VC•  What to ask before taking strategic capital•  Why beverage remains a difficult category for many VCs — and what that means for your cap table•  How to think about partnering with strategics without becoming “the last fry on the truck”Karen also offers a thoughtful framework for avoiding trend-chasing in drinks. In a world of protein pivots and format fads, she argues that fundamentals — consumer clarity, occasion ownership, distribution sequencing — still win over time.For investors, we explore how BTV thinks about co-investing rather than competing — and why having a strategic partner on the cap table can accelerate growth across the entire syndicate.If you're a founder navigating functional beverage, a co-investor evaluating corporate capital, or an operator thinking about long-term category shifts, this episode offers a rare inside look at how one of the industry's more nuanced CVC models is building in the U.S.As always, we focus on the mechanics of growth — not just the headline numbers, but how brands actually scale.Listen in for a grounded, strategic conversation about capital, distribution, and the future of value-add investing in drinks.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:Business of Drinks website (sign up for our newsletter!)Business of Drinks YouTubeBusiness of Drinks LinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

In this EUVC Live at GoWest episode, Olivier Tonneau, Founding Partner Quantonation, Jeppe Høier, Co-Host at EUVC Corporate, Paolo Pio, Co-founder and General Partner at Exceptional Ventures, Fergus Bell, Founder and Managing Partner at The Players Fund, and Prashant Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director at Scandian xplore one defining question:How does Europe turn frontier innovation into global scale?Across quantum, corporate capital, longevity, and sport, the same pattern emerges: Europe doesn't lack talent or research. It lacks the capital and market architecture required to scale strategic industries fast enough to stay independent.Olivier opens with Europe's quantum paradox. Europe supplies a meaningful share of deployed quantum computers globally, with strong startup and research clusters across the Nordics, France, Germany, and the UK. The science is world-class — but the financing is breaking. Over the last 12 months, the funding ratio between Europe and the US has shifted from roughly 1:2 to nearly 1:7, accelerating US scale-up, public listings, and acquisition pressure. Europe has 12–24 months to respond — not to avoid failure, but to avoid becoming the lab while others become the market.Jeppe shifts the lens to corporates. Corporate venture capital represents roughly 25% of global VC volume, yet the average lifespan of a CVC unit is only 3.7 years. His argument is blunt: most corporates launch venture arms believing they are “doing VC,” when they are actually building a strategic instrument without the operating system required to sustain it. Without durable governance — and a clear Build, Buy, Partner model — corporate venture becomes fragile instead of strategic.Paolo reframes health and longevity as deep tech moving at software speed. Genome sequencing has collapsed from decades to hours. mRNA proved that biology timelines can compress dramatically. With AI now embedded in diagnostics and discovery, health is entering an exponential era — and venture is being pulled with it.The session closes with a thesis most investors still underestimate. Fergus and Prashant argue sport is no longer entertainment — it is venture infrastructure. Athletes and rights holders are becoming capital allocators and distribution rails. Elite sport has evolved into a real-world deployment environment for deep tech, health tech, AI, and performance systems — where validation happens under pressure and at global scale.The takeaway across all five perspectives is clear:Europe invents early.But scale requires architecture.Late-stage capital depth.Liquidity.Corporate integration.Coordination.What's covered:00:30 Europe's scale question — five lenses on one problem02:00 Quantum's paradox — Europe leads in science, not in financing05:00 The 1:7 funding gap — why the next 12–24 months matter07:00 What Europe can do — capital architecture, procurement, scale funds11:30 Corporate venture — 25% of global VC, but structurally fragile13:30 Why CVCs fail — the 3-year vs 6-year test and governance gaps16:30 Longevity as deep tech — health moving at software speed21:30 AI in health — diagnostics, discovery, and exponential biology27:30 Sport as venture infrastructure — athletes and rights holders as rails34:30 Deep tech in sport — validation, performance systems, adoption under pressure40:00 Final takeaway — Europe has innovation; it needs scale architecture

Send a textA lot of bright kids are still stuck on the basics of reading, and too many parents are told to wait—or sold cures that don't work. We sit down with dyslexia therapist Faye Bankler Cressell to unpack what actually helps struggling readers and how families can start real progress at home without losing years to red tape.Faye shares her path from special education to structured literacy, sparked by helping her own child during lockdown. She explains why the science of reading matters, what structured literacy looks like in daily practice, and how to tell evidence-based intervention from high-priced “brain training” that promises big results but delivers little. We get specific about foundational skills—phonemic awareness, sound-symbol mapping, CVC decoding, early syllable work—and how systematic, cumulative lessons rewire reading pathways across phonology, orthography, and morphology.We also talk about the power of telling kids their diagnosis in clear, respectful language. When children know what dyslexia means, shame fades and self-advocacy begins. That confidence scales into high school, college, and the workplace, where naming strengths and supports becomes a strategy for excellence. Faye introduces her Home Reading Coach program, a 13‑week, parent-led course designed to be affordable, practical, and aligned with what research says works. Think printable materials, guided videos, and coaching that help families move from ABC to CVC and into early two-syllable patterns—with measurable wins that build momentum.If you're navigating testing, IEEs, IEP meetings, or just wondering where to begin, you'll find a clear roadmap plus vetted resources and communities like Decoding Dyslexia. You don't need to wait for formal labels to take action; explicit instruction has no downside and a massive upside.

The clock is ticking the minute a critically ill patient arrives in your clinic and requires long-term venous access. The choice between a traditional central venous catheter (CVC) and a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is more than just a matter of location; it's a decision that impacts everything you do for the patient. Tune in to this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast to navigate the ins and outs of each option—including central line and PICC line differences and advantages, where they can be utilized best, what to monitor for and how to sample from a central line—so that you can make the most informed choice for these patients.

This week, we tackle one of the biggest trends in corporate innovation: Corporate Venturing. With AI compressing innovation cycles, the largest tech companies—Microsoft, NVIDIA, Salesforce, Intel, Samsung—are pouring capital into corporate venture programs. CVC-backed funding hit $66 billion in 2024, up 20% year-over-year, with AI startups capturing 37% of every dollar invested. Corporate venturing has never been more important—or more expensive.But here's the staggering reality: Less than 4% of CVC-backed companies are ever acquired by their corporate investors. The average CVC program requires $50-500 million in fund capital, a team of 3-7 dedicated professionals, and 5-10 years before seeing meaningful returns. And 80% of those investments will fail to return capital.This creates a question: Is there a better way to achieve the innovation outcomes that motivate corporate venturing—market intelligence, product innovation, competitive advantage—without the decade-long timeline, massive capital commitment, and venture-style failure rates?Jay and Jared break down the corporate venturing model using Jobs-To-Be-Done theory, revealing why traditional CVC programs struggle with the tension between venture speed and corporate governance. More importantly, they unveil how the JTBD methodology can deliver the same strategic outcomes companies seek from corporate venturing, but in weeks instead of years, and at a fraction of the cost.Is corporate venturing the right innovation strategy for the AI era, or is there a faster, lower-risk path to capturing growth and defending against disruption?✅ Download our Executive White Paper: "How to Use JTBD To Grow Faster"

Corporate venture capital isn't just having “a bit of VC on the side.” Done well, it's a strategic lens on the future. Done badly, it's a short-lived pet project with a half-life of 3.7 years and a trail of confused founders and annoyed co-investors.In this episode, we sit down with Martin Scherrer, Partner & Head of Managed Funds at Redstone, alongside our own CVC lead Jeppe Høier, to unpack what really happens when corporates leave venture — and how to do it without destroying value or reputation.Redstone runs a dual model: classic VC funds + “VC-as-a-Service” for corporates and family offices.
