In der Mittagsfolge stellen wir heute zwei Anbieter mit einem umsatzbasierten Finanzierungsmodell namens Revenue-based Financing vor. Revenue-based Financing bedeutet, dass der entsprechende Investor im Gegenzug für ein Investment eine prozentuale Beteiligung an den Umsätzen des finanzierten Unternehmens erhält. Diese Umsatzbeteiligung läuft so lange bis eine im Vorhinein vereinbarte maximale Rückzahlungssumme erreicht ist. Das Unternehmen erhält also ein Investment und gibt anstelle von Anteilen für einen gewissen Zeitraum einen Teil der monatlichen Umsätze ab. Den Anfang macht Mariam Koorang, General Manager DACH von Clearco. Der kanadische E-Commerce-Investor wurde im Jahr 2015 von Michele Romanow, Andrew D'Souza, Ivan Gritsiniak, Charlie Feng und Tanay Delima gegründet. Clearco stellt Startups eigenkapitalfreie Finanzierungslösungen zur Verfügung. Darüber hinaus erhalten Founder umgehenden Zugang zu einem globalen Netzwerk von Partnern. Dabei hat das Finanzunternehmen mit mehr als 3 Milliarden Euro in mehr als 7.000 Online-Unternehmen und Marken investiert, darunter u.a. Vanity Planet, Glamnetic, Public Goods, Soludos und Monos. Clearco plant nun einen Deutschland-Start mit einem Investitionsvolumen in Höhe von 500 Millionen Euro. Damit erweitert es die Abdeckung der Märkte in den Vereinigten Staaten, Kanada, Australien, Großbritannien, Irland und den Niederlanden. Unser zweiter Gast ist Christian Stein, Partner von Riverside Acceleration Capital (RAC). Das 1988 in New York gegründete Unternehmen versteht sich mit seinem Revenue-based Financing als langfristiger Kapitalpartner für B2B-Softwareunternehmen. Dabei hat RAC den Anspruch, die Portfoliounternehmen über mehrere Runden zu finanzieren und ihnen als strategischer Partner zum effizienten Wachstum zu verhelfen. Mit 3 Niederlassungen in den USA und Deutschland verfügt RAC über eine direkte Präsenz in Nordamerika und Europa. Insgesamt hat der umsatzbasierte Investor 51 Unternehmen in 8 Ländern finanziert, u.a. CircleLink, Cloudlex, LeftShift, Purple, Quivers, SportsRecruits, Turtl, Freightwise, Apica, Casavi, Deckcommerce und SuitePad.
To forecast the next fashion trends, Soludos founder Nick Brown looked to past crises. Before the 2008 crisis, "it was all about ornaments and stuff being very sexy and over-the-top," Brown said on the Glossy Podcast. "Then in 2010, it shifted toward minimalism and modernism." Brown wagered that fashion will stay on the minimalist side. But either way, shoes are a tough category. "In some of these customer surveys, and certainly in my own life, I'm only buying what I need to, and I'm not going out that much," Brown said. As a result, Soludos is focusing on fewer products and sustainable production. Product delivery has also evolved. Soludos' sales have moved online; 70% of its sales now come through its own website, Brown said. "We've all seen the numbers that, in two months, there's been 10 years' worth of e-commerce penetration," he said.
Elizabeth is a 3rd Generation Visionary who branched out and started her own uber successful wallpaper company called Chasing Paper. Tune in as we discuss being a 3rd Generation Visionary, what methods have been most effective in builder her business, favorite motivational quotes and how to maintain a good work life balance. Shop Chasing Papers beautiful removable wallpaper designs online at www.chasingpaper.com Elizabeth Rees is the founder of Chasing Paper, a stylish, removable wallpaper company. As third generation in her family's printing company, she grew up learning the ins and outs of ink, paper and patterns. With the belief that printing is not only a family tradition, but also a craft, Elizabeth carved out her own path in paper by developing a line of innovative, design-conscious removable wallpaper. Elizabeth cultivated her entrepreneurial spirit over the past ten years of work, study and travel. Moving several times during this period also created an excitement to decorate and make each new space she lived in her own. After countless conversations with serial-movers, stylish mamas, renters who feel like anything but, DIYers and, of course, commitment-phobes, the idea for Chasing Paper began to take form and Elizabeth formally launched the company in March 2013. With the philosophy that design is for everyone, Chasing Paper offers customers an affordable, fun way to transform spaces of all sizes. Wallpaper is an extraordinary way to transform an environment, and removable wallpaper removes that fear of commitment many people have. Available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, Chasing Paper's easy “peel-and-stick” application makes it the perfect solution for any interior project. Manufactured in the United States (Milwaukee, WI), Chasing Paper is printed on a high-quality removable fabric, backed with a low tack adhesive and sold in panels measuring 2 feet by 4 feet. The brand also offers wall stickers and growth charts for a youthful, fun décor for your wall. In late 2017, the brand launched a collection of thoughtfully curated and affordable oversized grand format prints called Print Shop. Partnering with a select group of artists, such as Elizabeth Olwen and Emma Darvick among others, Chasing Paper created a cool and effortless collection of prints that will feel perfectly at home in any space you choose. From a dose of inspiration above your desk to a greeting at your entryway, these prints will inspire the everyday emotions – from calm to joy – and style of your life. Today, Chasing Paper has collaborated with numerous designers, artists and brands, including ban.do, Lisa Congdon, Molly Hatch, Rebecca Atwood, Soludos, Ashley Goldberg, Nickelodeon and many more. The brand is sold at retailers including West Elm and Urban Outfitters. Elizabeth holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism from Indiana University and a Master of Arts from the American University of Paris. Prior to launching Chasing Paper, Elizabeth worked at the National Geographic Society. The company is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where Elizabeth resides with her husband, daughter Uma and golden doodle Lucy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nextgenerationvisionaries/support
There’s so much to think about right now, it seems, but we’re going to take this opportunity to focus on one truly magical person: Jason Polan, an artist we’ve been in awe of for at least a decade who passed away at 37 in January. In a word: heartbreaking—but also a push to embrace living as much as he did. As we reflect on his life, his work, and his approach to both, we wanted to resurface an interview we did with him back in 2017, and if it makes you feel compelled to draw something (anything!), we bet he would have really liked that. The linkage: This feels like a great time for voicemails, huh? Give us a ring at 833-632-5463. Just a smattering of Jason Polan’s wonderful work: Every Person in New York (us included), Taco Bell Drawing Club, a Marvel Comics cover, and so many major brand collabs (Nike, Warby Parker, Uniqlo, Levi’s, Soludos, Baggu!). A good use of an hour: reading Jason’s IG captions. Come on with the ridiculously charming ad he ran in The New Yorker for the post office. @this_girl_is_a_squirrel, an Instagram rec for 2017, now, and always.
