Kathy Copic is founder of Fieldwork Partners, where she works closely with early stage companies on scoping technical projects, getting early ML models into production, and helping them hire. She was interviewed by Lindsay Pettingill, Investment Partner at Village Global, during this masterclass for Village Global founders. Takeaways:Maintain at least three interview touchpoints to thoroughly evaluate candidates — rushing the process means missing vital signals about how well candidates understand your business and culture.Write job descriptions that focus on company mission and concrete first-90-day projects rather than generic skill requirements — this attracts candidates who are genuinely excited about your specific opportunity.Look beyond prestigious company names and degrees — strong candidates often demonstrate their passion through side projects, nonprofits, or other entrepreneurial pursuits.Foster interactive interviews where you're comfortable interrupting candidates — their response to dynamic discussion reveals more about their communication style and fit than scripted questions.Structure work trials carefully to benefit both parties — the best candidates are evaluating your team and work environment just as much as you're evaluating them.When competing with large tech companies, emphasize the concrete impact individuals can have in your startup rather than trying to match compensation packages.Build diverse teams by implementing clear interview rubrics, providing guidance on legal considerations, and equipping interviewers with specific talking points about why diversity matters to your company.For references, consider asking peers rather than managers when candidates are currently employed, but use references extensively to validate your assessments.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.Check us out on the web at www.villageglobal.vc or get in touch with us on Twitter @villageglobal.Want to get updates from us?

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Stephan Jacquemot, Investment Partner bei TS Ventures. Stephan spricht über den Verkauf von Hopin und die Probleme bei WeWork.Das Startup Hopin hat seine virtuellen Event-Assets für nur 15 Millionen US-Dollar an RingCentral verkauft, weit unter der Spitzenbewertung von fast 8 Milliarden US-Dollar. Dies markiert einen deutlichen Niedergang für das einst als Branchenführer gefeierte Unternehmen. Hopin hatte Schwierigkeiten, eine solide Einnahmequelle aus seiner virtuellen Eventplattform zu generieren, und der Verkauf setzt einen niedrigen Maßstab für ähnliche Technologieunternehmen. Hopin-Kunden wechseln zu RingCentral, während das Unternehmen sich nun auf Streaming und Online-Communities konzentriert und die Zukunft virtueller Veranstaltungen unsicherer erscheinen lässt.WeWork befindet sich erneut in einer prekären Lage. Das Unternehmen, das einst als Paradebeispiel für überbewertete Startups galt, steht nach eigenen Angaben vor ernsten Herausforderungen. Angesichts erheblicher Verluste und eines bevorstehenden Kapitalbedarfs hat WeWork nun öffentlich Bedenken über seine Zukunft geäußert. Das Unternehmen plant, in den nächsten zwölf Monaten günstigere Mietverträge abzuschließen, Ausgaben zu kürzen und gleichzeitig frisches Kapital zu beschaffen. Interims-CEO David Tolley macht die schwierigen wirtschaftlichen und immobilienmarktspezifischen Bedingungen für die schwächer als erwartete Performance in den letzten Monaten verantwortlich. Tolley kündigte an, die Anstrengungen zur Optimierung des Immobilienportfolios zu verstärken. Das Unternehmen hat 512.000 Mitglieder an 610 Standorten in 33 Ländern. Die Zahl der Mitglieder ging im Jahresvergleich um 3 Prozent zurück, die Auslastung der Gebäude sank von 73 auf 72 Prozent.

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Stephan Jacquemot, Investment Partner bei TS Ventures. Stephan bespricht die Finanzierungsrunde von Lilium.Das deutsche Flugtaxi-Unternehmen Lilium hat in einer Finanzierungsrunde insgesamt 150 Millionen US-Dollar von Investoren gesichert, um den für 2024 geplanten bemannten Jungfernflug zu finanzieren. Der chinesische Investor Tencent steuerte die Hälfte dieser Summe bei, während der deutsche Wagniskapitalgeber Earlybird die Führung bei der anderen Hälfte übernahm. Lilium wurde vor knapp zwei Jahren über einen Spac an die US-Börse Nasdaq gebracht und wurde zuletzt mit einem Marktwert von rund 660 Millionen Dollar bewertet. Das Unternehmen plant, einen Siebensitzer mit ummantelten und kippbaren Rotoren zu bauen und längere Strecken zu bewältigen. Lilium hat bereits wichtige Etappenziele erreicht und die erforderlichen Zulassungen von Aufsichtsbehörden wie der US-Luftfahrtaufsicht FAA und der europäischen Aufsicht EASA erhalten.

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Stephan Jacquemot, Investment Partner bei TS Ventures. Stephan bespricht die Finanzierungsrunde von Farmy, Marley Spoon und TURN2X. Der Online-Supermarkt Farmy hat eine Finanzierung von 10,5 Millionen Franken gesichert, trotz einer verschlechterten Konsumentenstimmung und gestiegener Ansprüche der Investoren an die Rentabilität von Startups. Mit der neuen Finanzierung plant das Unternehmen, weiter in Wachstum zu investieren und bis 2025 den Break-even zu erreichen. Das Geld stammt vornehmlich von Bestandsinvestoren, doch auch neugewonnene Geldgeber unterstützen Farmy. Marley Spoon hat eine Kapitalrunde von 35 Millionen Euro bei einer Bewertung von 76 Millionen Euro abgeschlossen, trotz einer aktuellen Börsenbewertung von nur 26 Millionen Euro. Dieser Schritt erfolgt vor der Übernahme durch 468 Capital und dem Wechsel an die Frankfurter Börse. Im Zuge der Kapitalerhöhung wurden alle bisherigen Aktionäre quasi enteignet. Die neuen Aktien repräsentieren etwa 46% der gesamten Marley Spoon CDIs im Umlauf. Im Vergleich dazu hat Farmy, trotz massiver Abwertung, eine Traumbewertung erzielt.Das Münchner Unternehmen TURN2X hat eine erfolgreiche Seed-Finanzierungsrunde von 4,3 Millionen Euro abgeschlossen, um seine innovative Technologie zur Produktion von erneuerbarem Erdgas (RNG) weiter voranzutreiben. Die Finanzierungsrunde wurde von LEA Partners angeführt, mit Beteiligung von Verve Ventures, First Momentum Ventures und Branchenexperten. TURN2X, gegründet in 2022, konvertiert erneuerbare Energie aus Quellen wie Sonne und Wind in RNG, eine saubere und grüne Alternative zu fossilem Erdgas.Hier geht ey zum Artikel "Marley Spoon holt sich 35 Mio. Euro zu Minimalstbewertung" von Jochen Krisch.

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Stephan Jacquemot, Investment Partner bei TS Ventures . Stephan spricht über die Finanzierungsrunden von Koro, Kate und den neuen Fonds von Kindred.Das Berliner Startup Koro hat weitere 20 Millionen Euro bei Investoren eingesammelt, um das Wachstum des Unternehmens zu beschleunigen. Das Unternehmen hat sich auf Großpackungen gesunder Lebensmittel spezialisiert, insbesondere auf Nusscremes, Trockenfrüchte und Snacks, darunter viele vegane Varianten. Das von Piran Asci und Constantinos Calios gegründete Startup konnte eigenen Angaben zufolge in der Coronakrise ein starkes Wachstum verzeichnen. Zu den neuen Geldgebern gehören Seven Ventures von Pro Sieben Sat 1, der britische Lebensmittelkonzern Associated British Foods und Haub Legacy Ventures. Auch Bestandsinvestoren wie HV Capital und Partech haben sich erneut an der Runde beteiligt.Das französische Startup Kate hat in einer Finanzierungsrunde 7,6 Millionen US-Dollar von verschiedenen Investoren erhalten, darunter Julien Lemoine von Algolia, Emmanuelle Brizay von AC8 INVEST, Christophe Maurissen von Alcogroup und Romain Afflelou von Connected.

Today we have a pretty interesting capital provider joining us. Ethan Goldsmith is an Investment Partner at Keyframe Capital and helped found TeraWatt Infrastructure (the fleet charging behemoth). We went through the usual stuff around his background, early career, what they are doing, how they source deals, and their unique points but the core of this conversation in my opinion is really in their model. Since their inception, they saw that ClimateTech would require more flexible capital structures given that the pure equity model wasn't going to work given how capital-intensive most of these technologies are. They set up their fund to include those flexibilities. As an example, they might find a firm that is in need of funding, they could write a check in return for equity, but then in a few months, they might issue a specific project finance product for that use case. If the portfolio company needed to raise that in the form of equity for dollars, they would quickly be eradicating their cap table space. This to me is the most important aspect of this entire conversation and I'm glad we had the chance to speak with Ethan to go through it. There are other interesting topics here but this is key for other fund builders to consider. Enjoy the episode! Topics: 1:57 Intro7:35 What led them to recognize the infra -- VC Gap14:27 Getting into PE/VC19:13 Building TeraWatt24:47 Key Takeaways from starting TeraWatt26:47 Differentiating their model through flexible capital31:36 Their Verticals38:11 Managing deal flow40:58  They spend a lot of time in the market before investing because of their model42:32 How they help their portfolio co's45:45  Advice to hardware and capital-intensive startups in ClimateTech48:36 Obvious Prediction50:47 Final thoughts Links: Connect with Ethan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethan-goldsmith-186b3627Keyframe Capital Website: https://www.keyframecapital.com/Check out our Sponsor, NextWave Partners: https://www.next-wavepartners.com/Join the Slack Channel:  https://cleantechies.slack.com/join/shared_invite/zt-pd2drz6d-N~9nURU5JlyMXv2ZiO5bAQ#/shared-invite/emailFollow CleanTechies on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/clean-techies/ HMU on Twitter: @silasmahner__________We are proud to continue working with NextWave as our official show sponsor for this podcast.

The commodities sector has never been under more financing pressure. Yet, many traditional financiers have scaled back their capabilities or exited the space altogether. To fill this void, alternative financing has emerged from a range of sources including hedge funds, trade-finance funds, and other asset managers – bringing with it a new set of costs and challenges. In this panel recording, we take on the rise of alternative financing in the commodities sectors and its consequences with some of the leading protagonists.  The panel was recorded at the Reuters Events Commodity Trading USA event. The panelists were Lewis Hart, head of Commodities and Corporate Banking at BBH, Prashant Mupparapu, head of investments in energy and infrastructure at Citadel and Ethan Shoemaker, Investment Partner and head of infra credit at Orion Infrastructure Capital.To find out more about HC and our talent advisory services in the energy & commodities sector visit www.hcgroup.global/hc-insiderTo connect with our host Paul Chapman, you can find him at www.linkedin.com/in/paulchapmanhc/

Markets can certainly be bumpy at times, and when they're falling, investors would love to know if they're witnessing a brief correction, or if it is the beginning of a market crash. Of course that's something that nobody can know for certain, but in a scenario like this there are some behaviours that, although may be tempting, often turn out to be mistakes. Massimiliano Fidanza, Investment Partner at Julius Baer, discusses ten of these with Helen Freer, Investment Writer, in our latest episode of the Beyond Markets podcast: “Ten of the biggest mistakes during a market crash or correction”.
