Involving the public in research and development is not just for the birds. How can we leverage the power of collective intelligence to solve pressing challenges in science and business? This is the central question explored in our latest podcast episode featuring Professor Henry Sauermann of ESMT. We explore the world of crowd science, examining when, where, and how to involve the public in research and development. As Prof. Sauermann explains, the applications of crowd science extend far beyond ornithology; it is a powerful methodology for any field seeking innovation and broader impact. Key discussion points Defining crowd science: what it is and how it differs from crowdsourcing and citizen science. The “when, where, and how” of crowd science: When to involve the public (data collection, idea generation, diverse perspectives) Where it can be applied (academic research, corporate R&D) How to implement a project (attracting participants, ensuring mutual benefit) Real‑world examples: eBird and FoldIt Challenges and solutions: hurdles and practical strategies to overcome them. Applications for business: using crowd science for innovation, product development, and problem‑solving. Guest information Professor Henry Sauermann is the ESMT Chair in Entrepreneurship and director of the Institute for Endowment Management and Entrepreneurial Finance at ESMT Berlin. His co‑author, Marion K. Poetz, joins him in exploring how crowd science drives progress across sectors.

Launching a startup is challenging. It becomes even more difficult when tackling personal and business finances that confound entrepreneurs. Enter Uprise, the brainchild of Jessica Chen Riolfi and her co-founders. Uprise offers human-driven financial advisory services embedded into small business (SMB) platforms, like banks or personal finance sites. Uprise addresses the unique financial needs of entrepreneurs which include dealing with personal and professional cashflow. Jessica has extensive experience from companies like Robinhood, Earnin, Wise, and eBay. This background drives her approach to financial services. Jessica shares, “Financial advisory, in this context, combines personal and business finances. It helps entrepreneurs make holistic financial decisions.” Lack of personalized financial advisory services at Robinhood inspired the genesis of Uprise, especially for SMBs. Jessica shares a passion for simplifying financial products with her co-founders Chris and Nantha. Together, they work to make financial solutions more accessible, bridging the gap between business and personal finance for small business owners. Uprise initially targeted Gen Z and millennials but quickly pivoted to focus on older SMB owners. This shift met the growing demand for comprehensive financial advice. It specifically targeted consultants, freelancers, and creators. “The small business world is one where personal and financial lives are intermingled,” Jessica notes. She underscores the intricate needs of her firm's clientele. The genesis of Uprise Uprise emerges from a vision shared by Jessica and her co-founders, Chris and Nantha. They noticed the gap in financial advisory services for SMBs, where personal and business finances often overlap. As Jessica puts it, “We help them make financial decisions. And we kind of ignore the line between business and personal.” This approach recognizes the unique needs of entrepreneurs. Role of embedded finance in Small Business growth Embedded finance is at the core of Uprise's model. It is integrated into SMB platforms and Jessica explains, “Every small business owner interacting with our platform is assigned a human advisor.” This strategy not only builds trust but also addresses the specific financial advisory needs of SMBs. It offers a personalized experience. Jessica highlights the importance of understanding the distinct needs of different SMB sectors. For example, therapists using the vertical SaaS platform, Heard, prioritize personal relationships. This prompted Uprise to offer more direct communication channels like Zoom calls. “Calls matter a lot to therapists,” Jessica observes. She illustrates Uprise's adaptability to various client preferences. Financial planning for entrepreneurs Uprise has tailored its services to the intricate financial landscapes faced by entrepreneurs. Jessica emphasizes the importance of understanding personal and business finances. She highlights how they are interconnected. She offers advice on entity setup, retirement account options, and mortgage applications. “These are business-related questions, but they very much impact their finances,” Jessica emphasizes. She highlights Uprise's holistic approach. Building successful partnerships with SMB platforms Uprise's success is intertwined with its partnerships, where Jessica sees a collaborative effort. She notes, “It's very much a revenue driver for our partners, who are SMB platforms.” Uprise customizes its offerings to meet the unique needs of each platform. This ensures that both partners and end users enjoy their financial advisory services.

"It's not about what you make, it's about what you keep. You can be a $2 million company and broke, or a $650,000 company and rolling in the money."Pam, the CEO of Pivot Business Group, is a no-nonsense financial expert and speaker who specializes in analyzing and streamlining the back end of fast-growing companies, while efficiently creating more profit and strategic growth. Pam decided to create Pivot Business Group to ensure that no small business owner would face bankruptcy simply because they didn't understand their numbers.Pam shares her valuable experience and insights, noting that many entrepreneurs, especially women, undercharge for their services, undervalue their worth, and fail to set prices correctly. They also often neglect to pay themselves properly, have the wrong legal and tax structure for their company, and don't track their numbers correctly.For women, it is crucial to understand these financial aspects and stop undervaluing themselves. We aren't always educated about the financial tools and strategies available, but there are professionals who can help avoid these pitfalls. Investing in their expertise from day one is worth the cost and saves you from future pain and financial mess.Understand what your costs are, track your money in real time, and make sure you're setting money aside for yourself, delegate and enjoy your journey to success.Notes:

Today's guest is a hands-on CFO who's involved in leading more than just the finance function. He's going Behind the Numbers to share why he believes that organizations will benefit from having a CFO that thinks like a CEO. Dave Bookbinder goes Behind The Numbers with Scott Stone - Chief Financial Officer at Alliance for Multispecialty Research.

In this episode we're discussing how a CFO can create value in an organization; how to manage the ever-expanding role of the CFO and why they should be asking for more; and building culture as a finance leader.

Neil Koenig, former BBC Series Producer, now ideaXme board advisor interviews Sarah Maria Nordt, founder and CEO, SANOGE. Neil comments: The fashion industry might be glamorous, but its allure comes at a cost, since it is widely regarded as being one of the world's biggest sources of pollution. One entrepreneur who is trying to do something to improve the situation is Sarah Maria Nordt. She's the co-founder of SANOGE, a fashion tech start-up based in Germany that aims to produce clothing in a more sustainable manner. It eschews mass production in favour of making clothes on demand. SANOGE's website works a bit like a car configurator, with customers having the ability to modify the design of the garments they would like, which are then produced to order. The hope is that this approach will help, amongst other things, to reduce overproduction and return rates. Before launching SANOGE, Sarah Maria Nordt studied at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. Every year the university hosts a Symposium, a vast gathering of leaders and thinkers from all over the world, and I caught up with Sarah Maria at this year's event. In this interview with me for ideaXme, Sarah Maria Nordt talks about how she came to found her enterprise, the daunting challenge of making the fashion industry a more sustainable one, and her hopes and dreams for the future.  SARAH MARIA NORDT - BIOGRAPHY Sarah Maria Nordt is the Founder and CEO of SANOGE, a FashionTech venture founded in 2019. SANOGE's mission is to revolutionize the textile supply chain by turning customers into co-designers of their highly individualized pieces of apparel and using an AI-based on-demand production approach to eliminate overproduction, reduce return rates, and redefine sustainability in the fashion industry. Prior to founding SANOGE, Nordt studied Business Administration and General Management at the University of St. Gallen, and worked in management consulting with a focus on digital transformation. In addition to her work at SANOGE, she is currently pursuing a PhD in Entrepreneurial Finance at the University of St. Gallen.

It's no secret that women are making great strides forward in the workplace. In major cities across the country, analysis shows that the gender pay gap is closing. The number of women in mathematics, science and other STEM occupations is continuing to grow as well. In addition, the number of women entrepreneurs has increased by 48% year over year. That means the number of women taking the jump to start their own businesses each year is growing in leaps and bounds! However, it's also no secret that there are still hurdles to cross, many more milestones to reach, and unfortunately, continued negative assumptions to overcome. In today's episode, we'll be exploring new research in the INFORMS journal Organization Science has revealed that when a female investor supports a female entrepreneur, it can negatively affect the business owner's ability to obtain further investments. Joining me to discuss her study, “Does Investor Gender Matter for the Success of Female Entrepreneurs? Gender Homophily and the Stigma of Incompetence in Entrepreneurial Finance” is Kaisa Snellman of INSEAD. We'll discuss her findings, what insights or awareness we can gain from this new data, and ultimately, how we can enact positive change so we don't take steps backward in the upward trajectory of professional women.

Si estás interesado en profundizar tus conocimientos financieros realizando un máster o un curso de postgrado este episodio del podcast te resultará de especial interés. ¿Por qué?He incluido las dos conversaciones que tuve (50 minutos cada una), dentro de la Rankia Students Summit 2021 con dos entrevistados de mi podcast que imparten docencia en dos de las escuelas de negocios más prestigiosas del mundo.En primer lugar, Luis Viceira, vicedecano y catedrático en la Harvard Business School, en la que es profesor desde 1998 y donde imparte clases en el área de inversiones y mercados de capitales. Luis es el protagonista del episodio 39 de mi podcast (marzo 2021).En segundo lugar, Luis Martín Cabiedes, el business angel más conocido en España por sus inversiones en start-ups de Internet. Compagina su labor como inversor con impartir clases de Entrepreneurship y Entrepreneurial Finance en el MBA del IESE desde 2008. Con Luis ya grabé el episodio 31 del podcast (diciembre 2020). Ambos episodios son muy recomendables si aún no los habéis escuchado, os lo aseguro.Algunos de los temas que se tocan en las dos conversaciones son:- Experiencia acumulada como profesor en una escuela de negocios.- Cuál es la metodología docente que más le gusta en un MBA.- Dentro del sector financiero ¿Para qué puestos de trabajo un máster de una gran escuela de negocios cree que es una condición necesaria?- ¿Cuáles son los ingredientes esenciales de un MBA para que tenga éxito?- ¿Qué cambios en el perfil formativo de finanzas ha experimentado en la última década? Hard (contabilidad, analítica) versus Soft skills (creatividad, colaboración, empatía, negociación)- Dónde creen que hay más oportunidades en la próxima década en el sector financiero y qué puestos de trabajo saldrán más beneficiados de ello.- ¿Qué cambios ha provocado la pandemia en su escuela de negocios? ¿Cuáles de esos cambios creen que van a ser permanentes?Más información sobre este episodio en el Blog de Juan Such:https://www.rankia.com/blog/such/5077222-formacion-postgrado-finanzas-experiencias-recomendaciones-episodio-47-podcast-juan-such

A robust venture capital industry is one of the pillars of the today's tech boom, because it provides the funding for new companies to grow. But "venture capital is not a job for everyone," says venture investor Dr Itxaso del Palacio in this week's episode. Itxaso is a leading venture capitalist. She launched Microsoft Ventures in Europe and is Partner at Notion Capital today. She also teaches Entrepreneurial Finance at the MSc Technology Entrepreneurship at University College London. Learning notes from this episode: Venture capital is very transactional, it is not operational. "Venture capital is not a job for everyone. Saying no to so many people is not easy," says Itxaso. Corporate venture arms are very different to VC funds and the incentives within them differ. For example, people in traditional VCs benefit financially if a company they invest in becomes a unicorn. This is often not the case in corporate venture divisions. People do not usually begin careers in venture capital straight out of college, but transition into them from something else. The Kauffman Fellowship program is an education program for venture capitalists. Itxaso said it benefitted her career hugely.   Do you have a brilliant app idea and no tech knowledge to build it?

The federal fiduciary rule has been a hot topic in recent months, first because of President Obama's decision to establish it. Now that President Trump has put the rule on hold to be reviewed, we're all talking about fiduciary advisors and regulations once more. I came across an excellent article recently, "What Your Financial Advisor Isn't Telling You," by Dr. Antoinette Schoar, and I knew I had to chat with her.  Antoinette is a professor of Entrepreneurial Finance at MIT, frequent contributor to the Journal of Finance, and part of the nonprofit ideas 42. In this interview, Dr. Schoar and I talk about the conversation with her mother and her mother's advisor that made Antoinette want to better understand the difference between fiduciary- and suitability-focused advisors. We also talk best investment strategies, including the benefits of index funds and how much stock you should own of the company that employs you.  You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: http://bit.ly/2lEVh70 

Professor Thomas Hellmann, Academic Director, Entrepreneurship Centre, gives a talk for the Dean's Seminar Series. The financing of entrepreneurial finance is typically associated with venture capital. Over the last two decades researchers have made significant advances in understanding the complex role of venture capitalists, and their impact on the entrepreneurial process.
