On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we engage in a compelling conversation with Adam Frankl, a seasoned expert in the tech startup world. With over two decades of experience, Adam shares his insights on the current state of tech startups, particularly in light of the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). In our conversation with Adam, we delve into actionable advice and thorough explanations to guide aspiring entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts, so stay tuned to learn more about the current state of startups. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Adam Frankl on The Current Startup Landscape Adam Frankl begins by highlighting the paradox of the startup environment in 2024. On one hand, launching a tech startup has never been easier due to the availability of advanced tools and resources. Entrepreneurs now have access to productivity tools, social media for distribution, and the ability to build audiences quickly. This democratization of technology allows startups to reach potential customers and create impactful products more efficiently than ever before. However, this ease of entry has led to intense competition. The number of startups has surged, making the market more crowded. Founders must navigate not only the challenges of building their products but also the pressures of macroeconomic trends, such as fluctuating valuations and the uncertain IPO landscape. Adam Frankl on Transformative Impact of AI They then move into the topic of the transformative impact of AI on startups. Adam observes that every startup he has worked with in the past year has integrated AI into their operations, not just in product development but across all aspects of the business. This integration allows startups to enhance productivity, streamline processes, and innovate at an unprecedented pace. He emphasizes that the speed at which startups can achieve traction today is remarkable. For instance, he shares a story about a relatively new startup that has already generated revenue and is on track to become a billion-dollar company, all within a year of its founding. This rapid growth is largely attributed to the use of AI in various functions, from coding to marketing. Focusing on Problems, Not Products A key insight from Adam is the importance of focusing on the problem rather than the product. He argues that successful founders prioritize understanding the pain points of their target audience. By concentrating on the problem, startups can create solutions that resonate deeply with potential customers. This approach aligns with the principles of the lean startup movement, which advocates for validating problems before developing products. Adam explains that when founders articulate the problem they aim to solve, they attract the attention of those who experience that problem. This creates a community of potential customers eager to engage with the startup, even before a product is fully developed. He stresses that the first product may not be perfect, but if it addresses a significant pain point, customers will be willing to invest in it. To hear more about Adam Frankl's thoughts on the current landscape of startups, download and listen to this episode. Bio Adam Frankl is the author of "The Developer Facing Startup," a guide dedicated to helping developers navigate the complexities of launching and scaling their own tech startups. With over a decade of experience in software engineering and entrepreneurship, Frankl combines his deep technical expertise with a passion for innovation. He has successfully co-founded multiple startups and understands the unique challenges faced by developer-entrepreneurs. His book distills practical advice, actionable strategies, and real-world insights to empower developers in their journey from coding to company ...

Consumer startups have taken a hit when it comes to venture funding. But according to Eurie Kim, partner at Forerunner Ventures and founding member of All Raise, consumer is where it's at.The investor joined Mary Ann Azevedo on Equity to talk through the intricacies of the space. She pointed out that last year, just 7% of seed capital went to consumer startups. Yet, research shows that consumer company performance has outpaced enterprise, Kim contends. Forerunner itself has backed the likes of Oura, Chime and Prose, among others. Kim also talked about the advantages of being dedicated investors in a space that has seen a number of tourist VCs drift in and out. In addition to discussing the state of consumer investing and what consumer investors are looking for, the venture capitalist shared her thoughts on the investment landscape as a whole, what's up with IPOs and why every startup should have AI in their pitch deck.Equity is TechCrunch's flagship podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, and posts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

FinTech is both an undeniable tech movement, as well as, an ambiguous buzzword that founders can use for caché. So what is it and how can startups truly utilize tools from the FinTech world to give their own companies superpowers. Our guest today, Joe Keeley, is the Co-Founder and CEO of JustiFi, a platform that allows Vertical SaaS companies to add sophisticated FinTech to their service offerings and how that can save companies in processing fees and give customers more flexibility in payments. We also discuss how startups should think about choosing third-party service providers when entering the embedded fintech arena and why it may not be the smartest choice to build your own in-house payments team from scratch. They recently announced a Seed+ round led by our good friends at Crosslink Capital aligned with existing investors Rally Ventures and Emergence Capital.About Joe Keeley:Joe is the CEO and Co-founder of JustiFi Technologies, a venture-backed fintech business providing payments and fintech infrastructure and strategy for vertical SaaS platforms.Prior to JustiFi, Joe founded and grew College Nannies, Sitters & Tutors (CNST), the nation’s largest in-home childcare and tutoring company. He led CNST to over 200 franchises in the USA and United Kingdom (a milestone less than 5% of franchisors achieve) and over 13,000 employees. In 2016, College Nannies, Sitters & Tutors was acquired by Bright Horizons Family Solutions (NYSE: BFAM), the largest corporate-sponsored childcare operator globally.He has been named the prestigious Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of The Year”, the “Global Student Entrepreneur of the Year”, “Top 25 under 25 to Watch” by Business Week Magazine, “20 under 30 Who Will Change the World” by Citizen Culture magazine, one of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal’s “Young Entrepreneurs” and “40 under 40”, Glass Door’s Top 100 Companies to Work For, Minnesota Business 100 Best Companies to Work For, and Entrepreneur Magazine's top 100 Franchise concepts many years running.A word from our sponsor:At Ripple, we manage all of our fund expenses and employee credit cards using Jeeves.The team at Jeeves helped get me and my team setup with physical and virtual credit cards in days. I was able to allow my teammates to expense items in multiple currencies allowing them to pay for anything, anywhere at any time. We weren’t asked for any personal guarantees or to pay any setup or monthly SaaS fees.Not only does Jeeves save us time, but they also give us up to 3% cash back on our purchases including expenses like Google, Facebook or AWS every month. The best part is Jeeves puts up the cash, and you settle up once every 30 days in any currency you want, unlike some other corporate card companies that make you pre-pay every month.Jeeves also recently launched its Jeeves Growth and Working Capital initiative for startups and fast-growing companies to enable more financial freedom for every entrepreneur. The best thing of all is that Jeeves is live in 24 countries including Canada, the US and many other countries around the world. Jeeves truly offers the best all-in-one expense management corporate card program for all startups especially the ones at Ripple and we at Tank Talks could not be more excited to officially partner with them.Listeners of Tank Talks can get set up with a demo of Jeeves today and take advantage of our Tank Talks special with a $700 sign-on bonus and skip the waitlist that already has thousands of companies by visiting tryjeeves.com/tanktalks - Use Referral Code - TankTalks to get setup today!In this episode we discuss:02:42 Joe journey to creating CNST04:19 How Joe embraced technology as a solution for childcare and tutoring05:42 Why Joe’s first company was bootstrapped07:51 Why Joe and his co-founders decided to launch JustiFi11:21 Solving the processing fee problems for small business13:06 The history of FinTech and embedded FinTech16:05 How smaller businesses can benefit from embedded FinTech18:53 Why startups benefit from outsourcing FinTech tools21:02 How businesses should choose an embedded FinTech partner23:45 Choosing a generalist vs specialist service partner26:40 Why being the best at what you do is the most important thing as a startup28:32 Why Vertical SaaS is JustiFi’s current target market31:48 What lowering fees has meant to JustiFi’s customers34:12 How bigger is JustiFi’s Total Addressable Market35:58 Plans for JustiFi’s recent fundraiseFast FavoritesPodcastThe BBC MinuteNewsletter/BlogMorning BrewTech GadgetSonosNew TrendBack to officeBookThe Giving TreeLife LessonWork Hard and Be NiceFollow Matt Cohen and Tank Talks here!Podcast production support provided by Agentbee.Agency This is a public episode.

Today's episode is with Kaitlyn Knopp, founder and CEO of Pequity, which automates HR workflows to make compensation more equitable and scalable. Prior to starting Pequity, Kaitlyn built compensation programs and teams at companies like Instacart, Cruise, and Google — bringing a deep well of experience to this often complicated topic. We start our conversation with her advice on the traps founders need to avoid when they're making their first hires. She sketches out a lightweight framework of how to think about comp at this early stage, from broad levels to an initial comp philosophy. We then get into the pros and cons of negotiating offers, as well as creative approaches you can bring to other aspects of comp outside of salary, such as the exercise window. Kaitlyn also shares tons of tips around how to communicate the value of equity, especially with candidates who've never worked at a startup before. In the back half of our conversation, we dig into the comp challenges that come up as a company starts to grow quickly. Kaitlyn shares advice on retaining existing employees through techniques like equity refreshes. We also get into the psychology of bonuses, as well as how to navigate inflation and salary adjustments. Kaitlyn shares her take on the recent trend of offering very individualized packages, and she ends on the importance of helping employees to fully understand their comp, and not shying away from topics like dilution and tax considerations.

On this episode, we talk to David Sacks of Craft Ventures, on what every startup leader needs to know in the current business landscape. If you didn't know, I recently talked with David Sacks about a variety of topics, including business, current affairs, and how the two are interconnected. Even when we don't always see it. If you want to check that out, go to Follow Your Different episode 267. This episode is a certain portion of that, which I thought bears highlighting here on Lochhead on Marketing. So listen up, and listen good. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing. The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. How 2022 will play out for VCs and Startups The conversation starts on how 2021 was for venture capitalists and startups, which saw great growth on new businesses and new deals. Though the question that remains, according to David Sacks, is how sustainable it will be. He notes that the huge growth was caused by certain situations in 2021, and how the public market reacted to it. But it seems that the market is slowly correcting itself, so we might expect to see a “slump” this year. “Well, it's gonna be very different than 2021, for sure. There's a HUGE CORRECTION that's been underway really since November, the public markets started correcting in November.” – David Sacks Part of the huge growth was that there was an enormous liquidity injected into the markets as a result of the government reacting to COVID to act as a stimulus for the economy. The issue lies on the fact that they seem to have overdone it. To correct it, the market has seen inflation rise to new heights over the past months. It will seem erratic for now, but as the demand goes back and the excess stimulus wears off, we will see the market stabilize once more. Consolidations and Mergers One of the things that you often see during this time of sudden rise and slump in the market, is that a lot of acquisitions and mergers happen. It is because company's valuation tends to drop during this time, so you could probably acquire one for far lower its original, especially compared to the high-rise last year. One example is Salesforce, who acquired Slack on the height of the market boom last year. If they were to buy it at this current market, they might have gotten it for about 75% or less of what they originally paid for. That goes for everybody. On paper, this should be the best time to acquire or merge with new assets. Yet that's not what always happens because… Prices are Sticky On the other hand, it can be hard to get a lot of deals happening because they are still clinging onto the prices of the past. “One of the reasons why there's not a lot of deals happening right now is because in VC land is because prices are kind of sticky. I mean, all the founders remember the glory days, just six months ago, 100 times ARR. They're still anchored on that. And they don't believe that, like, there's been this giant repricing, and that things could really be at 20 times ARR.” – David Sacks They cling to this because most of them know that all they need is just one VC that is still willing to drink the Kool Aid and pay for 100 ARR, and they're all set. So there's going to be resistance to these changes and price levels. To hear more from David Sacks and know what most startups need to know now, download and listen to this episode.

Last year, Jibo—“the world's first social robot for the home”—began to lose its mind. First came memory problems. The bot started to spend less time swiveling its head like the animated Pixar lamp and more time staring blankly at the wall. Its cognitive demise was slow, then fast. At one point, Jibo itself delivered the fatal diagnosis: “The servers out there that let me do what I do will be turned off soon,” it said in its computerized voice.
