Experte für Patente & Lizenzen und treibende Kraft in Innovation und Unternehmertum Peter Hug ist passionierter Erfinder, Inhaber mehrerer Patente und Marken, leidenschaftlicher Unternehmer seit mehr als 25 Jahren, und ein gefragter Innovations-Experte. Als autorisiertes go-Inno Beratungsunternehmen des Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK) hilft Peter und sein Team, Klein- und Mittelständischen Unternehmen (KMU), Selbstständigen und Gründern, Ideen erfolgreich umzusetzen. Nach der technischer Ausbildung und Studium hat Peter Hug, neben seiner Tätigkeit als Leiter der Produktentwicklung eines KMU, ein Executive Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) mit Schwerpunkt Technologie und Innovationsmanagement an der Steinbeis School of Management & Technology abgeschlossen. Danach ging Peter nach Kalifornien, in eine der Innovativesten Wirtschaftsregion der Welt, um Betriebswirtschaft an der Pepperdine University in Los Angeles zu studieren. Währenddessen war Peter Mitglied des Entrepreneurs Club der Graziadio School of Business and Management, und konnte über deren Business Angels Netzwerk bei Pitch Veranstaltungen den Gründerspirit des Silicon Beach live miterleben. Er hat zu dieser Zeit in Santa Monica gelebt und gearbeitet, wo sich derweil Tech Unternehmen wie Snapchat, Yahoo, Dollar-Shave-Club, Hulu oder SpaceX in seiner direkten Nachbarschaft angesiedelt haben. Patente & Lizenzen - Ideen zum Markterfolg bringen Nach einem Abstecher an die Universität St. Gallen (HSG) in der Schweiz, hat Peter mit einem Master of Business Administration (MBA) mit Schwerpunkt Innovation & Entrepreneurship cum laude abgeschlossen. Seither hat Peter mehrere Unternehmen gegründet, Produktideen umgesetzt, und Innovationen erfolgreich an Unternehmen lizenziert. Seit 2016 unterstützt er Unternehmer, KMU Geschäftsführer, und Selbständigen dabei, aus deren Ideen einen Markterfolg zu machen.   Peter`s Geschäftsmodell steht auf 2 Säulen zu Patente & Lizenzen - dem Erfinden, also dem Umsetzen eigener Ideen mithilfe von Lizenznehmern, also etablierte Unternehmer mit vorhandener Unternehmensstruktur, Produktion, Sales, Service etc… - zum anderen unterstütze Peter KMU Geschäftsführer, Unternehmer und Selbständige dabei deren Ideen umzusetzen. Der Schlüssel, um erfolgreich zu Innovieren ist möglichst viele Ideen zu validieren, testen und umzusetzen. Clayton Christiansen von der Harvard Universität hat einmal in einer Studie herausgefunden, dass aus 10 Ideen nur 2 oder 3 sich am Markt durchsetzen, im besten Fall eine durch die Decke geht. Erfolg mit Innovation ist ein Zahlenspiel. Um für möglichst viele Ideen umzusetzen, beispielsweise um Prototypen zu bauen (MVPś), Markttests zu machen (proof of market), Patente anzumelden, Kapital zu akquirieren etc. musst du möglichst Kosteneffizient und strategisch klug vorgehen, um nicht schon am Ende zu sein, bevor es losgeht. Patente & Lizenzen: Mit dem 9 stufigen Lean Inventing Ideen testen Dafür hat Peter einen 9 stufigen Innovationsprozess ausgearbeitet, das Lean Inventing. Damit können Peters Kunden einen erproben Prozess durchlaufen, um schnell und kosteneffizient Ideen zu testen, anzupassen, und am Ende erfolgreich umzusetzen. Beispielweise arbeitet Peter ich mit einer Methode um temporären kostenlosen Patentschutz zu nutzen, mit 3-D Druck und anderen Rapid-Prototyping Methoden Prototypen zu bauen, oder der Nutzung von (quasi kostenlosen) staatlichen Fördermitteln. Auf der Finanzierungsseite gibt es nämlich für Selbständige und Unternehmen extrem hilfreiche Unterstützung in Form von staatlichen Fördermitteln. Dafür gibt es wunderbare Programme von Bund und Ländern für innovative Ideen und deren Umsetzung. Der Staat ist daran interessiert, dass Innovation im Land bleibt, Arbeitsplätze geschaffen werden, und am Ende Steuern gezahlt werden. Dafür gibt er gerne Geld für gute Ideen, was eine großartige Starthilfe für die Unternehmen ist um Ideen umzusetzen, oder auch um Risiken zu minimieren wenn mal etwas nicht funktioniert. Und das Beste daran: Du musst dich nicht um aufwendigen Förderanträge, Papierkram oder langes Warten auf die Förderzugsage einstellen. Darum kümmert sich Peter und sein Team, und garantiert dir Fördermittel von bis zu 20.000Eur und mehr, damit Du gleich durchstarten kannst. Dein größter Fehler als Unternehmer?: Meine erste Gründung war mit 22 Jahren, gemeinsam mit einem Partner. Wir waren privat befreundet, beide Techniker, und wollten selbstbestimmt für uns arbeiten, und nicht für andere. Wir hatten die gleichen skills, sollen beide gleichberechtigt entscheiden und Partner sein. Ohne klare Aufgabenteilung nach Fähigkeiten, Interessen oder Stärken. Das hat zwangsläufig zu Konflikten geführt, wir haben beide für weniger Geld mehr gearbeitet, und der Traum von der Freiheit als Unternehmer wurde zum zwischenmenschlichen Albtraum. Später im Studium habe ich die Story einem meiner Professoren erzählt, der auch VC Partner war. Er kannte solche Geschichten zu Hauf. Wenn du gründest, nimm nur einen Partner dazu dazu, wenn sich Fähigkeiten ergänzen, also die Partnerschaft einen finanziellen Mehrwert hat – „only partner for spreadsheet reasons“. Freunde sollst du trotzdem haben, geh mit ihnen feiern oder ein Bier trinken, aber gründe keine Firma gemeinsam nur weil du Gesellschaft brauchst. Deine Lieblings-Internet-Ressource?: Trello, ohne dieses Tool bin ich verloren :) ich arbeite gleichzeitig an mehreren Projekten die ich mit Trello strukturiere, organisiere und manage.   Deine beste Buchempfehlung: Buchtitel 1:   Buchtitel 2:   Kontaktdaten des Interviewpartners: Peter Hug PRODUCT.

Guest Zach Servideo is an entrepreneur and the founder of Value Creation Labs® (VCL), a brand studio-growth accelerator. The 15-year consulting veteran has spent time in Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Known for his boundless energy and storytelling prowess, Servideo is a sought out chief brand officer of sorts for companies looking to elevate their public presence and stoke growth. In 2021, he created VCL as a means to one day realize his vision to own and operate a venture studio. He's currently building toward that goal helping provide flexible consulting services to a range of companies. He also has an investor network betting on those same companies. Servideo nurtures a dynamic VCL talent consortium ranging from artists and writers to patent attorneys and bankers. He's currently working with a group of Boston-based tech journalists on a series of custom analyst reports for Silicon Valley Bank, New England Venture Capital Association, Glasswing Ventures and Accomplice. With Servideo serving as publisher, the reports shed light on innovations from Boston that are hiding in plain sight and yet driving global economic growth. VCL recently released its latest report on cybersecurity. Of course, he's also the founder and host of Boston Speaks Up (BSU), an innovation podcast visiting with inspiring people from all walks of life that is sponsored by Silicon Valley Bank. Founded in 2018, BSU helped catapult Servideo back into the Boston innovation community he spent much of the 2000s and early 2010s in, before a five year stint in Los Angeles. He began his career at Schwartz Communications in the mid 2000s before transitioning to a role at fama PR in 2009 which found him embedded in the Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) community at One Broadway, Kendall Square. It was at fama/CIC where Servideo began honing the craft of developing brands and taking startups to market – Opower (acquired by Oracle in 2016), Suniva, TweetMyJobs, CloudLock, to name a few. By 2012, he took the entrepreneurial plunge, created his first LLC and developed a business plan to bring his abilities to Los Angeles at a time when ‘Silicon Beach' was just taking off. He spent 5 years between LA and San Francisco bringing companies to market and helping them reach successful exits – Klutch to eBay (2015), Epoxy to Vemba (2016), Watchwith to Comcast (2017), Beachfront Media to PSP Capital (2017), Whosay to Viacom (2018), Downstream to Jungle Scout/Summit Partners (2021) along with several more. For those listeners less familiar with Servideo's work behind the scenes, he's an active business development specialist working on an array of initiatives to support first time founders. For example, he serves as entrepreneur-in-residence at Endicott College's Angle Center for Entrepreneurship where he's a major catalyst behind the school's startup incubator and annual Spark Tank startup competition. He somehow manages to play soccer a couple times a week, coach his daughter's youth soccer team and train/compete in triathlons (with one 70.3 Ironman under his belt).

Adam's guest is Chris Erwin, Head of Operations for Big Frame. The company, which was acquired this year by DreamWorks, is often called a multichannel network, or MCN, while Chris describes Big Frame as, "a new-era entertainment company for teens and millennials.” Adam asks Chris to explain more about what MCNs and Big Frame do, especially with regard to developing and managing the careers of digital-first creators, like YouTube stars Ingrid Nilsen, Tyler Oakley and Amanda Steele. Since Earwolf and Midroll Media are digital-first media companies, as well, Adam and Chris talk about the similarities between their businesses, and how they make money for talent. Finally, they discuss what it's like to work in entertainment tech and in the Silicon Beach of Los Angeles.
