In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Lisa Morales-Hellebo. This episode is all about the will and drive of a young Latina to rebel against cultural norms and prove to herself and the world that, by playing by her own rules, she can accomplish whatever she puts her mind to. Lisa grew up as member of the only brown family in an affluent neighborhood, facing relentless racism that put a chip on her shoulder and sparked an unyielding determination. Now, Lisa is using that drive to take on refashioning the $3 trillion end-to-end industrial value chain. After turning down millions from Silicon Valley investors who didn't understand her vision, she's leading a revolution to invest in brown women and overlooked innovators. Lisa has 28 years in tech, design and systems thinking, entrepreneurship, and community building, and has recently added VC to her list of titles as Founder & Co-Managing GP at REFASHIOND Ventures: the Industrial Transformation Fund — a NY-based venture fund that invests as the first institutional check in early-stage startups refashioning industrial value chains across Data & AI, Advanced Materials, Advanced Manufacturing, and Next Generation Logistics; defensible through economic moats. Lisa has always been obsessed with how things are made and pioneered mass-customization, personalization, and on-demand micromanufacturing for P&G in Silicon Valley in 1999 at a company called Reflect.com. Lisa is catalyzing the paradigm shift to localized demand chains as CEO and Founder of REFASHIOND OS (rOS), which is deploying a unified Data Layer & Control Tower across manufacturing value chains. She is also a founder of The Worldwide Supply Chain Federation, an organization that is changing how supply chain professionals learn about, collaborate, and adopt early-stage supply chain innovation around the world. Lisa is a Carnegie Mellon University alum with University Honors, Techstars alum, founded & built the New York Fashion Tech Lab, serves on the board of 3 other accelerators, has been featured in numerous publications along with 2 books, and has been the recipient of several awards; including Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine's Top Woman in Supply Chain 2022, Top 100 Women in Supply Chain 2020, 2021, 2022, & 2023; and WWD's Most Influential ESG Leaders 2023.

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” sprechen wir heute mit Tina Dreimann, Co-Founder von better ventures. Tina hat die Finanzierungsrunde von Reverion, Kardinal und Simplifyber analysiert: Das New Yorker Startup Simplifyber konnte sich 3,5 Millionen US-Dollar Startkapital sichern, um die Herstellung von Kleidung durch nachhaltige, fortschrittliche Fertigung neu zu erfinden. Das von der Modedesignerin Maria Intscher-Owrang geführte Unternehmen entwickelt das erste vollständig geformte Obermaterial für Kleidungsstücke und Schuhe, das direkt aus einer Flüssigkeit auf Zellulosebasis hergestellt wird. Die Seed-Runde wird von At One Ventures geleitet. Außerdem beteiligten sich Techstars, Heritage Group Ventures, The Helm, W Fund, Jetstream Ventures, Plug & Play Ventures, REFASHIOND Ventures, CapitalX Ventures und Keeler Investments Group. Das französische Startup Kardinal konnte in seiner Finanzierungsrunde insgesamt 10 Millionen Euro einsammeln und will mit dem Kapital unter anderem nach Deutschland expandieren. Als Investoren konnte das Logistikunternehmen unter anderem den Risikokapitalfonds BGV gewinnen, daneben investierten Cap Horn Invest, Plug und Play Ventures sowie Serena. Das Startup hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die Touren von Logistikunternehmen zu optimieren. Dafür nutzt es eine eigens entwickelte Software, die dem Unternehmen zufolge Kosten senken und Umweltschäden minimieren soll. Jonathan Bouaziz, Hugo Farizon und Cédric Hervet gründeten Kardinal und konnten bereits 2019 eine erste Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von zwei Millionen Euro einsammeln. Das Münchner Cleantech Reverion, ein Spin-off der TU München, hat erfolgreich seine Seed-Runde abgeschlossen. Hauptgeldgeber ist der Berliner Climatetech-Investor Extantia. Weitere Investoren sind Landwärme, Doral Tech Ventures, Possible Ventures sowie mehrere Business Angels. Reverion hat eine Technologie entwickelt, die bei der Stromerzeugung aus Biogas eine Effizienz von 80 Prozent erreichen soll – das entspricht einer Verdopplung gegenüber gängigen Methoden. Hierfür setzt das Startup auf Brennstoffzellen in einem neuartigen Systemaufbau, der es ermöglicht, sie auch reversibel zu nutzen. Dies bedeutet, dass Reverion-Anlagen bei Bedarf die Stromproduktion in eine Stromnutzung umkehren und so überschüssigen Strom aus Wind und Sonne für einen Elektrolyseprozess nutzen können. Dabei soll wahlweise entweder grüner Wasserstoff oder erneuerbares Erdgassubstitut erzeugt werden. Letzteres kann dann in das bestehende Erdgasnetz eingespeist werden.

After successfully founding her own start-up, and being named one of the Top 10 Women in DC Tech, Lisa realized the impact she could have helping other start-ups. Her passion and commitment to the acceleration of technologies that advance the industry has only grown and now, as well as advising others, she is also the co-founder of two organizations, that focus on funding innovation and revolutionizing supply chain.

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [06.06] How Lisa's creativity took her on an ever-evolving journey from graphic design to fashion tech, supply chain and sustainability. “My entire career has been obsessed with data, customization, personalization, on-demand – and it's led me to what I'm doing now.” [11.17] A closer look at REFASHIOND Ventures – what it does, what ‘refashioning supply chains' means and the power of supply chain digitization. [12.59] Why REFASHIOND Ventures is needed, the complex and fascinating journey that led Lisa to found it, and the many things she learned along the way. “I learned that VC's don't know anything about fashion, or retail… so I decided to found and build a fashion tech accelerator – the one that I wished had existed when I had my fashion tech company.” [24.39] Lisa reflects on some of the key challenges she's faced when it comes to industry change, mindset and sustainability – and the opportunities that have come from that. “We produce 4 times the textile waste of any other country in the world, and so we don't need to produce or grow another fiber for generations – we're sitting on mountains of waste that could be generations worth of regenerative textiles.” [35.35] Lisa's experiences as a Latina woman, in childhood as well as moving through the industry. “My entire career, my entire life, every choice I've made, has been about proving my worth.” [41.52] Lisa's words of wisdom for all of the women looking to follow in her footsteps. “You have to go through a growth process to learn that your differences are your super powers.” RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can find out more about Lisa over on her website, or you can connect with her on LinkedIn, Instagram or Twitter.

Today, Lisa continues to act on her passions as an advocate for organizations that help minorities gain access to opportunities for funding, championship, and growth. She also serves on multiple advisory boards, has been featured in numerous publications and media outlets, and was named of one of the top 100 women in supply chain for two years in a row by Supply Chain Digital. Based on her impressive credentials alone, it’s clear that entrepreneurship, technology, supply chain, and activism are all a part of Lisa’s DNA — and she plans on keeping it that way.
