Podcasts about scaleups

Die EU-Kommission will die Bedingungen für Europas Startups und Scaleups deutlich verbessen – weniger Bürokratie, mehr Finanzierung und digitale Infrastruktur. Doch was bringt die neue EU-Startup-Strategie wirklich? Christofer Bingener, Bitkom-Startup-Experte, ordnet die Maßnahmen ein und beschreibt, welcher Teil noch zu vage bleibt. Außerdem geht es um den Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz im Gesundheitswesen. Laut einer aktuellen Bitkom-Studie hat sich der KI-Einsatz in deutschen Krankenhäusern seit 2022 verdoppelt. Bitkom-Präsident Dr. Ralf Wintergerst ordnet die Zahlen ein und Digital-Health-Expertin Dr. Verena Benz erklärt, was die neue Bundesregierung für das deutsche Gesundheitssystem plant – von der elektronischen Patientenakte bis zur schnelleren Digitalisierung in Arztpraxen und Krankenhäusern.

The internet moves fast, but does that mean your marketing should? In today's world of instant gratification, the pressure to react quickly and chase trends can lead to shallow strategies, unrealistic expectations, short-lived success, and unsustainable results. But it's not just about marketing—it's about leadership, too. If executives don't give marketing, strategy, or people the time to grow, they'll never see real results. What if the real key to sustainable growth is slowing down, embracing patience, letting things breathe, and giving people, ideas, and strategies the space to actually develop?In this episode, we unpack:• Why speed can sabotage your long-term marketing success.• The danger of forcing speed over strategy in decision-making, team-building, and brand positioning.• The underrated power of stillness and strategic patience in business.• Why executives often demand immediate marketing results—yet fail to invest the time needed for real impact.• How rushing to “be first” often results in noise, not impact.• The thought leadership trap: it's not about "telling" —it's about engaging, guiding, and building real influence.• How a lack of patience in leadership leads to high turnover, rushed marketing, and ineffective campaigns.• Oh, and… TikTok went down, panic ensued, and then it came back. What does that tell us about digital hysteria?If you've ever felt pressured to constantly do more in marketing, this is your reminder that real influence and business longevity come from thoughtful action—not just rapid reaction. Tune in and learn why slowing down might be the fastest way to scale up.Beyond The Episode Gems:• Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize. Market.

Mark Pearson, founder and managing partner of Fuel Ventures, discusses how working as a chef under Gordon Ramsay led him to life as an entrepreneur, why Chinese capital presents a massive opportunity for British innovation and why after a few tough years, optimism has returned to the UK tech industry.  Fuel Ventures is a London-based technology investment group focussing on early and growth-stage companies. Pearson said Fuel has always had a good relationship with China, grown stronger by the firm recently securing a £20m investment from Chinese partners. The Fuel managing director said that with Trump likely to further strain US-China relations, there is an opportunity for the UK to grow with increased support from the East. 

Timestamps: 1:34 - Over 100 years of family entrepreneurship 11:40 - Why start foodyoung? 17:34 - Changes in the food industry 29:12 - Expanding to the US 35:42 - European and American investors About Abouzar Rahmani: Abouzar Rahmani is the co-founder and CEO of FoodYoung, a consumer food innovation company developing high-quality, clean, and sustainable food solutions. He is originally from Iran and holds a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management from UBI Business School, Brussels. He worked for a few years at Mani Foods Industry LLC, his family's business (which was founded in 1877), before starting FoodYoung in 2012. Abouzar created FoodYoung for two reasons: firstly, because he wanted to provide entrepreneurs with the resources and support that he thought were lacking, and secondly because Abouzar himself saw a significant improvement in his health through a change of lifestyle, having lost 35kg.  FoodYoung develops and commercializes food solutions that are inflammatory oil-free, have no refined sugar, are additive free, non-GMO, gluten-free, organic, plant-rich, made with fairly traded ingredients, and packaged sustainably. Throughout his years at FoodYoung he has found that food trends tend to happen in reaction to overconsumption patterns: gluten-free is trendy in Italy, meat-free in Germany, dairy-free in Switzerland, and sugar-free in America. At FoodYoung Abouzar works with 3 types of customers: Big food retailers and large corporates looking for innovation, but without the inhouse capacity to develop it Scaleups in the food space New startups with revolutionary ideas  In the case of this last group, FoodYoung takes equity through their venture studio and helps them build their business. With the first two groups, there is an amount paid for FoodYoung's services. In no case do they take a cut from the sales of their customers.

rint On Demand is tegenwoordig een heel normaal begrip als je je eigen boek, kroniek of naslagwerk wilt maken en uitgeven. Dat was nog niet zo lang geleden geheel onbekend. Blaricummer Mark Deleman zag het gat in deze markt bijtijds en startte in 2008 EZBOOK ( easybook ) als voorloper in de markt. Tegenwoordig behoort EZBOOK tot de drie belangrijkste spelers op de Nederlandse en Belgische markt en nu komt ook Duitsland aan de beurt. Alle reden om eens met Mark te kletsen over zijn activiteiten..... en dat allemaal met het motto.. Nederland moet meer lezen.......... Toen de Laarder Jeffrey Werner in 2021 zijn bedrijf verkocht, heeft hij echt een tijdje niets gedaan, werd … zoals hij zelf omschrijft … thuis gepromoot tot hoofd vakantie planning, maar omdat hij nog geen 50 was en wel vol energie zat ….. besloot hij het bedrijf X-Road op te richten Een bedrijf dat andere bedrijven en ondernemers helpt met groeien. Van Starters en StartUps tot ScaleUps. Deze bedrijven, met een flinke groei-ambitie, lopen immers vrijwel allemaal tegen drie hobbels aan: de marketing en sales, een schaalbare infrastructuur ennnnn leiderschap Wanneer je in het Gooi mooie spandoeken ziet hangen, of prachtige beplakte etalages…grote kans dat dat van Buzz Design komt. Hans van Goozen is het creatieve brein achter al dat moois.

Today's guest is Melissa Mills, VP of Product at Ardoc, former Director of Product at Kahoot!, and former Global Product Lead at Google in San Francisco.Ardoc is a fast-growing scale-up in Norway, recognized by Gartner as a leading Enterprise Architecture Tool.Their Series D raise is one of the five largest private funding rounds by a Norwegian tech business.Many enterprise companies like Carlsberg Group are choosing Ardoc, and this episode will give you an insider view of how they build their products.Melissa and I talked about:- Ardoc's growth and product journey- Product management in big tech, startups, and scale-ups- Product Managers' valuable traits according to company stage- The importance of domain knowledge in B2B- How Product and Sales should partner- Onboarding product teams- Cultural differences between doing Product in Norway versus Silicon Valley- And so much more_

Suranga Chandratillake, general partner at Balderton Capital, discusses why narratives about the UK underperforming in funding compared with the giants in the US might not be fair, why more unicorns shouldn't necessarily be considered the main goal for British businesses and why Labour's budget isn't as damning for entrepreneurs as it may seem.  Balderton Capital is a multi-stage venture capital firm that backs companies across every phase of growth. Chandratillake discusses why so far the government's approach to business has been encouraging, though it's still early days, why the London public markets are struggling as so many have claimed and why autonomous vehicle policy is the perfect example of the UK's regulatory strengths. 

Change is hard, but the truth is—when you resist it, you're making a choice.An even harsher truth? Staying in your comfort zone is the reason your business isn't growing. You're stuck because you keep doing the same things, expecting different results. That's the definition of insanity—and it's killing your growth.And keep in mind, "staying in your comfort zone" can manifest in ways you might not even realize. Micromanaging. Refusing to delegate. Needing total control. Waiting for perfection before taking action. Even creating chaos to sabotage your own progress. Believe it or not, you could be your own biggest obstacle.Here's the reality: Over 50% of businesses fail because they refuse to adapt, change, or face the hard truths about their strategies. Are you ready to stop blaming the market, the economy, or your competition? The real obstacle is you.It's time to ditch the excuses, make the changes, and start taking action. Growth isn't easy, but neither is staying stagnant. If you're serious about scaling your business, this is your wake-up call. Step out of the comfort zone. Embrace the chaos. Make bold moves. Growth doesn't happen where it's safe, it happens when you face the uncomfortable truth and take action.In this episode of iDigress, we dive deep into the uncomfortable reality of why many entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives stay stuck. We'll explore the powerful concept of "what you're not changing, you're choosing" and unpack how resistance to change often stems from fear, comfort, or denial.• Why clarity is the first step to escaping chaos.• The dangers of staying in your comfort zone.• How to recognize when it's time to pivot.•  Why embracing change (quickly) is necessary for business success.• How to stop being a "control freak" and get out of the way of growth.• Why successful execution requires humility and adaptability. Beyond The Episode Gems:• Grow Your Business Faster Using HubSpot's CRM Platform• Use The Same Recording Platform I Use For My Podcast, Try Riverside.fm For Free• Buy Troy's Book, Strategize Up That Is Referenced In This Episode: StrategizeUpBook.com• Discover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast Network#####Support The Podcast & Connect With Troy: • Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/Reviews•  Follow Troy's LinkedIn @FindTroy• Need Growth Strategy, A Keynote Speaker, Or Want To Sponsor The Podcast?

James Codling, managing partner at Volution discusses how despite a slowdown in funding and concerns over profits, the UK is still seen globally as a massive hub for fintech, how the hype around British fintech successes is not always spread evenly and why building a bank is the most difficult category of fintech one can pursue.  Volution is a London-based venture capital investor that focuses largely on fintech and software-as-a-service companies that have progressed past the seed and Series A stages. Codling explains that in the UK, there have been incredible efforts to support startups to get to the Series A level, but there has been a myth that once they get there, they can manage alone. Codling calls for a holistic approach from the public and private sectors when looking to support businesses. 

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Emanuel Rose, CEO of Strategic eMarketing, who has led numerous successful marketing campaigns for companies through authentic storytelling and direct-response advertising. On today's episode, Emanuel will share insights on differentiation and humanisation strategies for startups. Scaleups and captive insurance companies. We'll explore best practices around targeting, testing messaging, and scaling for growth. We also talk about why startups founders must focus on becoming social CEOs. Emanuel will also discuss key lessons from his book on how solitude in nature can benefit mental health, leadership, and creativity. KEY TAKEAWAYS                                                                                                            AI is a tool of marketing and, like all tools, it has to be deployed correctly and with the intent of the campaign and the focus of the brand. It's complicated to use, but I think it's amazing, I love it, it's forever changed my marketing. At this point in time, it still takes a human to drive it, though that might be different in time. As marketers, we're taking and identifying a problem and from that we come up with a solution, which is what we're selling, and maybe agitating it a little bit, triggering people and offering a call to action. I like to make it as frictionless as possible which I think has become lost in digital marketing, since the internet we're back to pop-ups and interruption trying to get email addresses and phone numbers. I think that's a huge mistake that doesn't build long-term brand value and makes everything transactional rather than client based. The negative side of AI is there's a lot of “spray and pray” happening instead of starting with your ideal client profile, finding some people who fit it, understanding what their needs are, and developing a conversation and qualifying that person to your service/product and yourself to that person. The relationship is what people are missing with this inauthentic rubbish. I want to encourage people to use tools that are organised around getting a lot of information from the prospects that they're talking to so that there is publicly known personal information from social profiles/blogs/other content they're written or participated in. This should be part of every AI tool you use, but then you need to do your own research, so when people are interested take a few minutes to see how that individual aligns with your ideal client profile.   BEST MOMENTS ‘The difference between a client and a customer is that you care about the client and their concerns, whereas you're just doing business with a customer, it's just a transaction.'‘Interruption marketing has got to go away again because it's counterproductive.'‘We've forgotten that our job, as a service provider, is to serve our clients.'‘Make sure that you talk to people. If you're in a marketing department, get on sales calls and hear the answers for yourself, understand what the pain points are, and how you can feed better information into the model you're using.' ABOUT THE GUEST Emanuel Rose is an accomplished marketing expert and author based in Reno, Nevada. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, Emanuel specializes in direct-response advertising, content marketing, and branding strategies. As the CEO of his digital marketing agency Strategic eMarketing, Emanuel has worked with numerous clients and helped them achieve business success through authentic storytelling.

France Digitale, the leading startup and investor association in Europe, together with more than 30 of its European partners have announced the second edition of the Leading European Tech Scaleups (LETS). Announced at FDDAY in Paris today, LETS is the only pan-European mapping of innovative companies that make at least 10 million EUR in global annual turnover, founded after the year 2000, and successfully sell their product or service beyond their domestic market. Thirty-two startup organisations from across 20 European countries - including Scale Ireland - are supporting France Digitale's launch of the leading tech companies driving Europe's innovation economy. LETS features 251 companies in total, an increase from 135 last year. Recognised as flag bearers of European innovation globally, four Irish companies are among the companies featured and include - Fenergo, Teamwork, Tines and Wayflyer. The LETS, the engine of Europe's tech success The LETS have a global footprint: 70% (174) of them have customers globally (beyond Europe), with the US featuring as the top export market. The most populous European countries (France, UK, Germany) follow closely. Japan and Australia complete the top 3 of non-European export markets. Internationalisation patterns vary. Several LETS expand to their neighbouring countries first, then to the US (it's the case of many companies in software, finance, and health), while others jump straight from their domestic market to the US. Most companies in gaming, industry and services are global from day one, while scaleups in sectors involving last-mile logistics, like retail, transport and energy, tend to remain localised in Europe. The LETS are great job creators: they employ on average some 415 people and plan to recruit more. Of 72 respondents, 94% declared having job openings: 53% are seeking between 11 and 50 talents and another 18% between 51 and 100 talents. The LETS also stand out as solid partners for their customers and investors alike: 60% of them are already profitable and the remaining 40% expects to be so in the next 3 years. Taking European tech to the next level As positive as they are, these results raise two important questions. First, why does it seem more straightforward to export internationally, especially to the US, than to other European countries? Second, and most importantly: when and where will the Leading European Tech Scaleups "exit"? While all LETS have customers in Europe, only a minority can claim to cover the whole continent. Indeed, the first barrier to export within Europe is fragmentation: despite the Single Market, Europe is still made of 27+ different markets, each with their own legislations. It can take from 3 months to 3 years to open another country, with regulated sectors like finance and health taking the longest. The second challenge is exits. In 2021 alone, the US experienced more tech IPOs than Europe did over the entire period from 2015 to 2023, and 50 European-founded companies have filed for an IPO in the US since 2018, including UK-based companies. These "missed" IPOs account for a total economic loss of 439 billion USD since 2015. What could prevent history from repeating itself? The newly-elected European Parliament and the next European Commission should make the answer to these issues a priority of their five-year mandate. Several actions can be taken in this sense: introducing a 28th company regime, allowing companies to do administrative procedures only once for the whole Single Market, and eliminating cross border transaction costs for equity investments to increase the liquidity of European financial markets. Commenting on this year's LETS, Maya Noël, Managing Director of France Digitale, said: "With LETS we celebrate the international success of companies that are flag bearers of European innovation worldwide. But we also highlight the work that remains to be done so that more companies can follow in their steps: completing the Single Market...

Let's go on the record and break down the good, the bad, and the reality of all of these things!Is the “perception of innovation” being personified as a “standard move” more than the actual act of innovation itself?Are brands really being innovative or merely copycats adding bedazzles on top to look different?What does embracing AI vs integrating AI within your business, offering, and operations actually look like?How do we navigate all of this in the creator economy, the rise of AI, the shift from third to first-party data, and so much more?This episode is jam-packed with answers, studies, observations, and expanded considerations of intentional thoughts to explore on all of this and more.  Beyond The Episode Gems:Download HubSpot's State Of Marketing Report for FreeDiscover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast NetworkGet Discount Off Riverside & Try For Free #####Support The Podcast & Connect With Troy: • Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/Reviews•  Follow Troy's LinkedIn @FindTroy• Get Strategy Solutions & Services: GrowWithTroy.com•  Buy Troy's Book, Strategize Up: StrategizeUpBook.com•  Follow Troy's Instagram @FindTroy

“As a startup, as a scaleup, you often get one chance. If the first impression is something that's slow, doesn't work, is down entirely, people will move on and go find some other way to solve that problem." Tim Cochran and Kennedy Collins are the co-authors of the “Bottlenecks of Scaleups” series published on Martin Fowler's website. In this episode, we explore several key challenges faced by scaleups, such as product-engineering friction, service disruptions, accumulation of tech debt, and onboarding. Tim and Kennedy share their experiences and provide actionable advice on fostering collaboration, creating unified roadmaps, ensuring system reliability, and managing technical debt. They also emphasize the importance of efficient onboarding and developer experience in navigating the complexities of scaling up a startup.   Listen out for: Career Journey - [00:02:02] Definition of a Scaleup - [00:05:29] Bottleneck #1: Friction Between Product and Engineering - [00:08:24] Healthy Product-Engineering Tension - [00:13:36] Unified Product-Engineering Roadmap - [00:18:54] Bottleneck #2: Service Disruptions - [00:22:16] Cross Functional Attributes - [00:27:09] Bottleneck #3: Accumulation of Tech Debt - [00:32:39] Systems Ownership - [00:38:37] Bottleneck #4: Onboarding - [00:41:01] 3 Tech Lead Wisdom - [00:46:35] _____ Tim Cochran's BioTim Cochran is a Principal in Amazon's Software Builder Experience (ASBX) group.

Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness, according to Brené Brown. I had recently heard her speak so eloquently on the subject. I instantly saw the connection and parallels we as business owners, operators, and creators face as we navigate the pursuit of success with the daily grind. We don't update our tools, resources, and processes to where we are now enough. We operate our business, we perform our jobs, and we build as if it's just us in the room. When we need to understand the only way to scale is through expansion, delegation, and patience. This episode is all about challenging you to be vulnerable about who you are, where you are, who you want to be, where you want to be, and what you need to become, build, and remove to get there. Beyond The Episode Gems:Ready to delegate to accelerate?
