President Donald Trump just made some new public statements about the Russia-Ukraine war, and they were thoroughly unimpressive. At one point, he seemed to get angry at Vladimir Putin over a massive new Russian attack on Ukraine, calling on Putin to “STOP.” But then in remarks to reporters, he openly suggested that he doesn't expect Russia to make any serious concessions at all in the quest for peace. This striking public admission badly undercuts Trump's “master dealmaker” mystique, and wrecks the illusion he's cultivated that he expects genuine concessions from both sides. We talked to Ben Burgis, a columnist at Jacobin and a podcaster who has a good new piece for MSNBC.com analyzing Trump's negotiating strategy. Burgis explains why Trump's approach is likely to be counterproductive at best—and why it could produce catastrophic long-term results.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

He's the first billionaire from Puerto Rico and earned his fortune with private equity investments in technology.

He provided aid to his homeland in the wake of Hurricane Maria, but also became embroiled in scandals involving cyber security and cryptocurrency.

There are leaders who made their money in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street and in high street fashion.

Ook na het weekend blijkt Donald Trump niet van mening te zijn veranderd. Hij zet zijn handelsoorlog volop door. En daarin heeft hij een paar goede volgelingen. Handelsminister Howard Lutnik noemt die handelsoorlog onvermijdelijk en is ervan overtuigd dat Amerika tot nu toe leeggeplunderd werd door de rest van de wereld. En ook minister van Financiën Scott Bessent ziet geen reden voor paniek en weigert zelfs maar aan een recessie te denken. Beleggers denken er duidelijk anders over, want wereldwijd kleuren de beurzen rood. Een bericht van nieuwszender CNBC leek daar even verandering in te brengen. Dat meldde dat een economisch adviseur van Trump een gerucht had opgepikt over een mogelijke pauze in de handelsoorlog. Beleggers wisten niet hoe snel ze moesten inslaan, maar kwamen vrijwel meteen weer van een koude kermis thuis. Want het Witte Huis wist niet hoe snel dat gerucht ontkracht moest worden. En dat wierp de beurzen alleen nog maar verder in het diepe. Tot overmaat van ramp besloot Trump vervolgens ook weer dat hij te lang z'n mond had gehouden. Zijn doelwit? China. Dat had vlak voor het weekend al aangekondigd om elke heffing vanuit de VS met gelijke munt terug te betalen. Dat wordt een duur grapje voor Trump, want die dreigt nu met nog eens 50 procent extra heffing tegen China. Een samenvatting van deze rollercoaster van een beursdag hoor je in deze aflevering. En dan vertellen we je ook over de afvalligen, want die heeft Trump ook. Het Amerikaanse bedrijfsleven vindt namelijk dat hij te ver gaat met zijn handelsoorlog. Misschien wel de meest opvallende criticus is Elon Musk. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ren Systems is pioneering relationship intelligence for dealmakers, having raised $8.8 million to filter the increasing noise in today's information landscape. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I spoke with Canay Deniz about Ren's journey from a serendipitous meeting with high-level executives to building a platform that helps commercial real estate brokers, management consultants, and investment bankers extract signal from noise in their relationship networks. Topics Discussed: The origin story of Ren Systems through a chance connection with Mike Hayes (former commander of SEAL Team 2) How COVID-19 affected the company's early days when they launched on March 1, 2020 Ren's deliberate two-year product development period before active go-to-market The hybrid approach to growth combining product-led growth with enterprise sales Ren's relationship with strategic investor ZoomInfo and their complementary positioning The increasing importance of human relationships in an AI-dominated world   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Patient capital enables product excellence: Canay's investors allowed them to spend two years in "the lab" perfecting their product experience before aggressive commercialization. This patience enabled them to build something truly differentiated in a crowded sales intelligence space. As Canay notes, "Getting that first end user experience right is hyper important, even if you're completely planning on becoming an enterprise solution." Build for your actual users, not idealized personas: Ren Systems' target users are senior dealmakers who "can't be bothered to even open their email." Understanding this reality shaped their product to deliver extreme value with minimal friction. Canay explains, "The demand for solutions just value is pretty extreme with our end users. I don't have time to do anything, click a button, open anything, like learn a new tool. It just needs to work and if it doesn't work within 5 seconds, I already lost interest." End users create enterprise momentum: By focusing on individual user adoption first, Ren Systems created internal demand that made enterprise sales conversations easier. "When we have the conversation with an actual buyer decision maker, we're going to them saying, 'Listen, you know, a couple dozen people are on our platform already. If you want to coordinate this and make the roll a lot smoother for you guys, we can help with that.'" This bottom-up approach means decision-makers have often "heard about it internally already." Find your serendipity engine: Ren Systems began when Canay reached out to a friend before his honeymoon, who connected him with Mike Hayes, which led to connections with Fortune 200 founders. This network became both their initial investors and beta testers. As Canay says, "If it wasn't for warm introductions from very impressive people, nobody would have taken the time to talk to good old me." When selling to sellers, leverage their natural behaviors: Ren's sales approach capitalizes on their target audience's behaviors: "When you're selling to sellers, it's really insane how often they pick up the phone. Cold calling is an excellent way for us to build pipe." Additionally, relationship-driven sellers naturally refer others: "We talk to people, we ask, 'If there's anyone else that you can think of that could benefit from this?' And oftentimes we get back a dozen or so names." //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

With decades of experience in technology, business acquisitions, and rollups, Richmond has developed a reputation for structuring creative and sustainable deals. His ability to optimize businesses before acquisition, leverage vendor financing, and create high-value group exits has positioned him as a thought leader in the space.Summary: In this episode of the How2Exit podcast, host Ronald Skelton sits down with Rob Richmond, a seasoned dealmaker and founder of Synergy Groups. Richmond shares his experience in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), detailing his innovative strategies for structuring deals, including vendor financing, virtual rollups, and work-in-buyout (WIBO) models. With a track record of completing a deal nearly every week, Richmond offers valuable insights into how business buyers can creatively structure acquisitions, avoid common pitfalls, and maximize value. The conversation also delves into the psychology of sellers, the importance of profiling employees, and how to build scalable business groups.Key Takeaways:Vendor Financing as a Deal-Making Tool – Richmond explains how structuring deals with seller financing, instead of traditional bank loans, helps align interests and often results in better terms for both buyers and sellers.Work-in-Buyout (WIBO) Strategy – He outlines how entering a business as an advisor or operator before a formal acquisition can lead to stronger deals, minimizing risk and increasing value for all parties.The Power of Virtual Rollups – Richmond discusses his success with virtual rollups, where companies in similar industries collaborate, scale, and eventually exit together for higher valuations.The Importance of Value Creation – Instead of simply acquiring businesses, Richmond emphasizes improving them through strategic changes, sales optimization, and operational efficiency.Overcoming Seller Expectations – Many business owners overvalue their companies.

Rohstoff-Deal? Schon heute könnte es zur gemeinsamen Unterzeichnung von US-Präsident Trump und dem ukrainischen Präsidenten Selenskyj in Washington kommen. Was steckt dahinter? „Donald Trump sieht sich selbst als größten Dealmaker aller Zeiten. Es gibt Hinweise, dass er versuchen wird, ein Waffenstillstands-Abkommen zu schließen und die Frage ist, was danach passiert. Die Ukraine hat natürlich ein Interesse daran, dass da irgendwelche Sicherheitsgarantien in den Vertrag kommen. An den Märkten gab es erst einmal wenig Bewegung. Genauso wurde die Bundestagswahl nur weggeatmet“, erklärt Michael Blumenroth im Rohstoff-Talk. Der Rohstoffanalyst der Deutschen Bank über den drohenden Kobalt-Export-Stopp des Kongo und über Gold auf Rekordniveau: „Kobalt interessiert uns das? Es interessiert uns schon, weil Kobalt in E-Autos und Mobiltelefonen verwendet wird. Tendenziell müssten da jetzt die Preise hochschießen. Der Goldpreis ist weiter auf Rekordkurs. Gerade in den USA haben wir eine große Nachfrage nach Gold-ETFs/-ETCs gesehen. Mittel- bis langfristig werden die Argumente für Gold nicht verschwinden.“ Alle Details dazu gibt es im Interview von Finanzjournalistin Jessica Schwarzer an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://www.xetra-gold.com

Dieser Februar kannte eigentlich nur vier Themen: Die Bundestagswahl, Trump, Trump und die Bundestagwahl. Bei der, durfte sich die Union als Siegerin fühlen, in Wirklichkeit waren es aber AfD und Linke - während die Ampelmännchen Lindner, Habeck und Scholz alle abgestraft wurden. Woran lag es? Unter anderem an der Wählerwanderung. Das NDR Satiremagazin Intensiv-Station mit Axel Naumer begleitet einen Wähler auf seiner Wanderung durch die Parteienlandschaft. Außerdem versucht SPD-Chefin Saskia Esken zu erklären, warum das Ergebnis nix mit ihr zu tun hat und der beste Zeitpunkt für Erneuerung ist. Unklar bleibt die Frage, wie Union und SPD nach diesem Wahlkampf zu Kompromissen kommen sollen. Da muss wohl Medizin her. Welche da am besten ist, könnte man wohl auch Donald Trump fragen. Der stellt ja die komplette Weltordnung auf den Kopf und beansprucht wahrscheinlich bald noch den Mond als seine Erfindung. Im Kleingartenverein jedenfalls huldigen diejenigen, die noch nicht gegen Trump desensiblisiert worden sind, ehrfürchtig dem selbsternannten Dealmaker!

Paul rejoins us in-studio to answer some of the most commonly asked questions our business-owner clients have regarding the M&A, Private Equity, Venture Capital, and IPO space in 2025. Featured is Paul Hsiao, Asset Allocation Strategist Americas, UBS Chief Investment Office. Host: Daniel Cassidy

Donald Trump sieht sich selbst gerne als Dealmaker. Der US-Präsident hat sich vorgenommen, den Ukraine-Krieg so schnell wie möglich zu beenden. Kurz vor dem dritten Jahrestag der russischen Invasion in der Ukraine hat er zwar geschafft, dass sich etwas bewegt. Doch bei seinem Deal mit Russland bleibt eines außen vor: Es war Putin, der die Ukraine angegriffen hat. Noch diesen Monat will sich Trump persönlich mit dem russischen Staatschef Wladimir Putin treffen. Wie einen Aggressor behandelt er ihn aber nicht. Die Ukraine selbst und auch Europa bleiben in den Gesprächen bislang außen vor. Ulrich Schneckener, Vorstandschef der Deutschen Stiftung Friedensforschung, beobachtet die aktuelle Situation mit großer Sorge. Im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit" erklärt Schneckener, warum Trumps Vorgehen seiner Ansicht nach die Welt nicht friedlicher, sondern nur gefährlicher mache. "Trump macht Putin im Moment stark", sagt der Friedensforscher. Der US-Präsident habe "eine ganze Reihe von Positionen, die man eigentlich erst am Verhandlungstisch klären würde, gleich vom Tisch genommen".Schon jetzt ist klar, dass die USA einen Waffenstillstand nicht mit eigenen Truppen überwachen würden. Auch einem möglichen NATO-Beitritt der Ukraine haben die USA bereits eine Absage erteilt, genau wie einer Rückkehr zu den Grenzen vor 2014, als Russland die Krim annektiert hat. "Das spielt Moskau extrem in die Karten", sagt Schneckener. Druck könne Trump auf diesem Weg nicht auf Putin ausüben. Die aktuelle Situation sei "extrem gefährlich" für Europa analysiert der Professor für Internationale Beziehungen und Friedens- und Konfliktforschung an der Universität Osnabrück. Es würden derzeit "die falschen Signale nach Moskau gesendet". Schneckener sieht die große Gefahr, dass Putin sich in seinem Kurs bestätigt fühlt und seinen Kurs fortsetzt. "Wenn Trump das nicht sieht oder nicht sehen will oder es ihm schlicht egal ist, dann wird das für Europa extreme Folgen haben", mahnt der Friedensforscher. "Und wir werden in Europa einen hohen Preis dafür zahlen, dass wir in den letzten drei Jahren die Ukraine nicht ausreichend unterstützt haben."Schreiben Sie Ihre Fragen, Kritik und Anmerkungen an www@n-tv.de.
