Fresh roti is simple to eat and hard to automate. Komal Kashiramka is building Poshan, a robotics company developing next-generation kitchen appliances, starting with an automatic roti maker designed to create soft roti that lasts for hours. Komal shares how she moved from Microsoft and Meta into entrepreneurship. Why hardware requires a different level of patience than software and what founders can learn from customer discovery, AI, parenting, and building something people will trust in their kitchens.  We also discuss:  • Why soft roti is the real product challenge  • Building a hardware company in the R&D phase • What AI changes for junior engineers • Why fundamentals still matter in software • Leaving corporate life without having everything figured out • Startup 425 and Seattle Public Library business resources • Raising kids while building a company • RotiTales and making roti easier to understand  Komal  links Poshan Website: https://poshan.us/ Poshan LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/poshan-inc RotiTales Website: https://rotitales.com/ RotiTales Instagram: https://instagram.com/rotitales RotiTales LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/rotitales/ RotiTales Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rotitales RotiTales YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rotitales Jason links Jason's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/admin Jason's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasoncavness/ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGsw6kzZE40sSUZgoStVaJw?sub_confirmation=1  

Growing your own machinists and orchestrating robots across four continents, is this what the future of manufacturing looks like? This live episode from Hapa's Brewing in the Bay Area features two panels of people who have built careers at the intersection of mechatronics, automation, and industrial innovation. First up, Vinod, Kevin, and Adam get into what it takes to build a skilled workforce from the ground up, talking about apprenticeships, college partnerships, and growing your own talent in-house. Then we get into the bigger picture with our founder panel Kim, Glenn, Nick, and Florian on what Silicon Valley gets wrong about manufacturing, and what manufacturers are missing by not paying closer attention to what's being built there. In this episode, find out: How Vinod bootstrapped an automation company in the Bay Area while raising a family and why his wife had something to do with it What Kevin learned from a 3-year German apprenticeship that he thinks more US manufacturers should be paying attention to How Adam solved his machinist shortage by bringing the training programme in-house and partnering with a local college How Kim thinks about leading companies through inflection points when there are no guardrails or safety nets Why Glenn believes manufacturers who aren't paying attention to what's being built around them won't even know when it's too late How Nick's B2C background completely changed the way he thinks about building software for frontline manufacturing workers Why Florian ignored his investors and opened a public-facing robotics storefront on the main street of Mountain View Enjoying the show?

Bremmer also reveals the defiant way he plans to celebrate July 4th, and makes the case for what it will take to extend the great American experiment another 250 years.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The promise is seductive: Implement the right operating system and your frustrations disappear. Your employees become more accountable. Communication improves. Growth follows. Your business finally runs the way you always hoped it would. That's the promise behind EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System popularized by Gino Wickman's book Traction. Plenty of business owners swear by it. Plenty have spent tens of thousands of dollars hiring EOS implementers to help put it in place. But does it work?This week, we're republishing one of our favorite conversations, one in which Shawn Busse, Paul Downs, and Laura Zander compare notes on their own experiences with EOS. Laura hired an implementer and spent years trying to make the system work. Paul took a more selective, do-it-yourself approach. Shawn has watched EOS play out inside numerous client companies. What emerges is a much more nuanced picture than the one promised in the book. The three owners discuss when EOS can be genuinely valuable, when it's the wrong tool for the job, and why no operating system can compensate for having the wrong people in key roles. As Laura puts it, EOS can be incredibly helpful "for people like me 10 years ago, who just don't know what they're doing." The question is whether that's enough to justify the investment.

Trade wars, resource shortages, and the AI-driven scramble for critical minerals are exposing the fragility of our current economy.  And for businesses still operating on a linear model, the vulnerabilities are becoming impossible to ignore. The global economy isn't just being disrupted, it's being restructured.  In this episode, Seb is joined by Julia Binder, Professor of Transformation at IMD Business School, and Manuel Braun, entrepreneur and co-author of The Circular Business Revolution, to explore why circularity has moved from the sustainability agenda to the boardroom. They discuss: Why today's disruptions are structural, not episodic, and what that means for supply chains How the circular economy offers a direct answer to resource dependency and geopolitical risk The shift from an impact case to a business case, and how to have that conversation with your CFO What companies like Hilti are doing differently, and what executives can act on tomorrow Mentioned in this episode: IMD circular value creation courses for leaders: https://www.imd.org/sustainability/cvce/creating-value-circular-economy/ Material Advantage: How circular strategies drive business value: https://www.imd.org/ibyimd/innovation/material-advantage-how-circular-strategies-drive-business-value/ Circular Business Revolution book: https://www.imd.org/research-knowledge/books/the-circular-business-revolution/ Startup landscape: https://www.circular-republic.org/insights/circular-startup-landscape-2026 Follow us online on these channels:  Instagram: http://instagram.com/EllenMacArthurFoundation  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ellen-macarthur-foundation/  Website: http://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org

Our guest today is Laura Burkhauser, CEO of Descript, the video editor that's been AI-native long before “AI-native” was something you put in a pitch deck. Laura's route to the CEO seat started as a customer. She loved the product enough to knock on founder Andrew Mason's door and ask to work on it. She joined to lead product, but only three years later she's succeeded the well-known founder and is running the company. Today, Laura is here to talk about both sides of that journey: finding peers and mentors when you're suddenly the most senior person in any room, and driving AI adoption across an org already known for AI in its product. In this episode, Laura shares: Her "tech acceptance framework" — the 4 stages from outright hostility to "rewired" — and how to figure out where YOUR team actually sits Why telling IC PMs that AI means 2x productivity just sounds like they're doing twice the work — and her “find the dream” reframe that actually gets real buy-in How Laura built Descript's AI philosophy around one principle: "Struggle with your art, not with your tools" and why she doesn't want anyone one-shotting their videos Plus the trap most companies are falling into right now: AI systems that walk out the door when the person who built them leaves, and how to make progress durable across your org Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/burkhauser/ Descript: https://www.descript.com/ Resources What Got You Here Won't Get You There: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-got-you-here-wont-get-you-there-marshall-goldsmith/1112274786 Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:07: Laura's career journey: From fashion startups to finding her path to product 03:26: The "what got you here won't get you there" moment 4:05: Finding peers and mentors when you're the most senior person in the room 12:06: "Struggle with your art, not with your tools" — Descript's AI philosophy 15:04: AI as a derivative technology and the democratization of creativity 17:59: The tech acceptance framework: From hostile to rewired 18:50: Running AI hackathons and reimagining company systems 22:40: Pitfalls of AI adoption: Cost, durability, and automating broken systems 24:42: The two-by-two framework for getting your team AI-pilled 27:49: Conclusion Follow LaunchPod on YouTube We have a YouTube page!

What does affirmative consent law reform, university sex education, and AI-powered law enforcement tools have in common? They're all part of Stefanie Hammett's ambitious startup, HMS.HMS (Have More Safety · Have More Sex · Have More Space) is a consent education company with a bold 2036 goal: insert affirmative consent into all 50 state criminal codes. But getting there means building a real business — with a direct-to-consumer product line, a university B2B pilot program, and a law enforcement tech partnership with Clipper AI.Stefanie breaks down:The "drip effect" strategy for getting consent education into university campusesWhy selling to law enforcement requires showing up 17 times before they trust youHow she balances a world-changing mission with the mechanics of actually building a startupHer advice to founders: presence, biohacking, and trusting your own clarityAnd more!

Meine heutige Gesprächspartnerin hat ihre Ausbildung an der Kommunikationsakademie Hamburg abgeschlossen und ist diplomierte Kommunikationswirtin. Ihre berufliche Laufbahn begann bei Reemtsma, wo sie mehrere Jahre im Marketing tätig war und sich vom Trainee bis in strategische Führungsrollen entwickelt hat. In dieser Zeit lernte sie, wie Marken geführt werden und wie Organisationen Entscheidungen treffen. Es folgte der Schritt ins Unternehmertum. Als geschäftsführende Gesellschafterin baute sie eine Audioproduktion auf und entwickelte Lernformate für Kinder. Danach wechselte sie zum Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie, wo sie den Aufbau der Marketingabteilung verantwortete und an der internationalen Positionierung des Standorts Deutschland mitwirkte. Sie war Teil der Initiative „Deutschland – Land der Ideen“ und bewegte sich an der Schnittstelle von Wirtschaft, Politik und Kommunikation. Seit Ende der neunziger Jahre arbeitet sie als selbstständige Unternehmens- beraterin, Executive Coach und systemische Beraterin. Sie hat über 200 Führungskräfte und Gründer begleitet und unterstützt Organisationen in Transformationsprozessen. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Entwicklung von Leadership in Startups und im Zusammenspiel mit Investoren. Sie ist Founding Coach bei Ten More In und engagiert sich seit vielen Jahren für die Weiterentwicklung von Female Leadership. 2016 hat sie gemeinsam mit einem Partner die Methode „Denkende Hand“ entwickelt. Ein Ansatz, der neben dem Rationalen auch das Intuitive und Unbewusste sichtbar macht und damit neue Wege für Kommunikation, Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung eröffnet. Im Zentrum ihrer Arbeit steht die Überzeugung, dass Führung immer bei der eigenen Haltung beginnt und dass Selbstreflexion und Kommunikation die entscheidenden Fähigkeiten moderner Führung sind. Seit über neun Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in mehr als 550 Folgen mit über 700 Gästen darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wie wird man vom Marketingprofi zur Executive Coach für Top Führungskräfte und was hat diesen Weg geprägt? Warum ist Live-Coaching ein so wirkungsvolles Format und was verändert sich dadurch für Führung und Lernen? Welche Rolle spielen Räume und Beziehungen gerade im digitalen Zeitalter und mit Blick auf KI für gute Zusammenarbeit? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work, heute mit Nora Dahlström. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

In this episode of BioTalk with Rich Bendis, Sara Dauber, Vice President, Startup Banking for J.P. Morgan's Innovation Economy team, joins the conversation to discuss how early-stage life science and healthcare companies can think more strategically about banking, financing readiness, and long-term growth.   Sara shares how her career moved from life science operating companies to NIH and now to J.P. Morgan, where she works with early-stage life science and healthcare ventures across the DMV and surrounding regions. Drawing on her experience inside startups, supporting SBIR-funded companies, and advising founders from the business side, Sara brings a practical perspective on what early-stage teams need as they begin raising institutional capital and building the systems behind a company.   The conversation explores how J.P. Morgan supports companies across the full lifecycle, from inception through IPO and beyond. Sara also discusses the importance of secure banking infrastructure, investor readiness, cap table management, startup-focused resources, and relationship-building in a market where founders are often asked to do more with limited time and capital.   Rich and Sara also revisit her time at NIH, her work with BHI Entrepreneurs-in-Residence, and the value of the BioHealth Capital Region ecosystem in helping entrepreneurs connect with the right advisors, funders, and partners.   Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant.   Sara Dauber is Vice President, J.P. Morgan's Startup Banking team, where she works with early-stage life science and healthcare companies in the DMV and broader Mid Atlantic. Before joining J.P. Morgan, Sara spent more than 14 years in life science operating companies, often working with early-stage startups across finance, program management, corporate development, business development, and operations. She later worked with NINDS at NIH, supporting SBIR-funded companies with business support. Today, she brings that experience to her work with founders as they build, finance, and scale life science and healthcare companies.  

Marketing isn't the thing small-business owners hate — it's the thing they're afraid of, and they're afraid of it because nobody ever explains it. On this Luray-Page Chamber edition of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael is back on the Zooms with Colton Wolf — owner of White Wolf Communications Group and a familiar voice on the show from his earlier conversations about the theater in Stanley — for a wide-ranging talk about why small and mid-sized businesses deserve the same strategic communications work the big brands get, and how a Page County firm is delivering it. Colton walks through how his firm grew from a pandemic-era pivot and a Georgetown public-relations program into a five-person team that builds holistic strategies for nonprofits, local pillars like Racey Engineering, and PACA — partnerships that started with Colton being president of PACA's first leadership club back in high school. The conversation digs into the realities of modern marketing in a noisy landscape (Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook, and Google all competing for the same mental real estate), why word-of-mouth alone isn't enough anymore, why the right overhead investment for a communications firm is its people, and the moment Colton lives for: when a client says, "I never even thought of that." Plus a couple of Page County Chamber events worth your time. ABOUT WHITE WOLF COMMUNICATIONS GROUP A Page County-based communications firm focused on small and mid-sized businesses and nonprofits across the region.

Recorded live at the Angus Barn during Hutchison's 30th anniversary celebration, this special episode of Founder Shares brings together some of the Triangle's most respected founders, investors, and ecosystem builders to reflect on three decades of what it really means to build a community — not just a law firm. Guests include Andrea Cook of NC Idea, Karl Rectanus, CEO, Really Great Reading | Co-Chair BOD, CED (Center for Entrepreneurial Development), Adam Stege, founder and CEO of Trio Labs, Tim McLoughlin of CoFounders Capital, Jason Caplain of Bull City Venture Partners, Pablo Casilimas, Managing Partner, OneSixOne Ventures, Krista Covey of First Flight Venture Center, David Mendez of Good Growth Capital, and Jim Roberts of the WAEL Angel Network - NEW (Network for Entrepreneurs of Wilmington),  WALE (Wilmington Angels for Local Entrepreneurs) — all united by a single thread: that Hutchison's greatest asset has never been its legal expertise alone, but its willingness to show up, make the introduction, and put founders first before any transaction is on the table. Plus, Karl LaPan of UF Innovate shares what ChatGPT told him when he asked how to describe a law firm like Hutchison — and the answer, "ecosystem architect," just might be the most accurate two-word summary of thirty years of work anyone has offered yet.Hosted by Trevor Schmidt, Founder Shares is brought to you by Hutchison PLLC.

Dan founded and scaled a $50M ARR, SoftBank-backed startup—and could've stayed to make tens of millions. Instead, he handed it to his chief of staff and started from scratch. He wanted something bigger. He took an entry-level paralegal job to learn everything about law hands on. Then he built Manifest, which just raised a $60M Series A.In this episode, Dan breaks down why he did intake calls for 1,000 legal clients before building anything, how free Slack communities turned Fortune 500 HR managers into buyers without a dollar of ads, and why he refused to sell software to law firms even when investors told him he was crazy.Why You Should ListenHow 2 months working as a paralegal beat years of customer discovery.How free Slack communities turned Fortune 500 HR managers into clients.Why earned media compounds like an asset while paid ads burn like an expense.Why impact is the best driver for starting startups.Keywords startup podcast, startup podcast for founders, product market fit, finding pmf, legal tech, legal AI, AI-native law firm, immigration law, services as software, community-led growth, earned media, customer discovery, Dan Mishin, ManifestChapters00:00:00 Intro00:06:34 Walking Away from $50M ARR00:13:12 Why Immigration Law Has AI Leverage00:18:01 The AI-Native Law Firm Model00:21:49 1,000 Intake Calls Before Building Anything00:30:21 Turning Free Communities Into Buyers00:37:20 Earned Media That CompoundsSend me a message to let me know what you think!

Spending some time with beer's raw ingredients is important. Finding out what is new, exciting, or how other brewers are utilizing them to create world class beer helps make the whole industry stronger and pints taste better. This month, we're taking a look at malt and speaking with two industry professionals who are intimately involved in the processing and promotion of grain.Andrea Stanley is the co-owner of Valley Malt, a craft malthouse in Western Massachusetts supplying craft brewers, distillers, and bakers with locally grown malts and grain. In 2009 Andrea read an article about local farms and bakeries in the fertile CT River Valley reviving the lost art of growing and processing local grains. As an avid supporter of local food, Andrea saw an opportunity to connect this emerging local grain growing with craft brewing. She reached out to a local vegetable grower in her hometown of Hadley and convinced him to plant 25 acres of barley as a crop rotation.Initially her goal was to prove that malt barley could be successfully cultivated in Massachusetts and malted into an ingredient that local breweries would want to use. In October 2010, Andrea shoveled the first 1-Ton batch of locally grown malt and has since worked with her husband, malting team, and the local farming community to build a supply chain in the Northeast that continues to grow, despite many challenges to overcome. In 2022 Valley Malt underwent a major expansion, adding 1 million pounds of grain cleaning and storage and the capacity to malt 1.5 millions pounds annually.  Valley Malt now supports over 700 acres of grains annually in NY, VT, NH, MA, ME and CT with the plan to keep growing in the coming years by installing additional germination bins.  On the larger-scale commercial side of malt, Zach Kelly the territory sales manager in Northern California for the Country Malt Group. After a career in the brewhouse - where he worked for companies like Russian River and Hen House, he now helps brewers make smart decisions when it comes to finding the right grain bill for their next brew. Passionate about lagers and west coast IPA, Zach shares insight on what's exciting, reliable and available.

Thomas Ramos est le meilleur buteur de l'histoire de l'équipe de France de rugby et du Stade Toulousain et prendra peut-être un jour ce statut à l'échelle du Top 14.Né à Mazamet dans le Tarn, fils et petit-fils de rugbymen, Thomas tombe amoureux du ballon ovale dès ses 5 ans.Il est très vite repéré par les plus grands clubs et rejoint le Stade Toulousain à 16 ans.Pourtant son éclosion tarde : il s'éternise chez les espoirs et doute de jamais passer pro.À 21 ans, prêté à Colomiers en Pro D2, il s'entoure d'un préparateur mental qui change sa carrière et l'aide à se hisser parmi les meilleurs joueurs au pied du monde.“J'ai appris à faire abstraction de tous les éléments externes pour être dans une bulle au moment de taper. Je fais le vide et ensuite je ne fais que répéter une routine."Chaque saison, Thomas affiche un taux de réussite aux alentours des 85% face aux perches. Une régularité de métronome, le rendant indispensable en club comme en sélection.5 fois champion de France, 2 fois champion d'Europe, 3 fois vainqueur du Tournoi des Six Nations et accessoirement jeune papa, Thomas se livre avec beaucoup de sincérité dans cette discussion :Sa routine millimétrée au moment de buter, et comment isoler le cerveau pour ne pas céder à la pressionLa défaite en quart de finale de la Coupe du monde 2023, qui l'a longtemps hantéPourquoi le Stade Toulousain domine tout : la culture d'un club qui déteste perdreDonnées, vidéo, sommeil : la science derrière la performance moderneGérer l'arrivée d'un enfant quand on est sportif de très haut niveauUn échange rare avec un compétiteur lucide et bien plus attachant qu'on ne le pense, pour comprendre comment on devient, et on reste, décisif dans les moments qui comptent.Vous pouvez suivre Thomas sur Instagram.Un merci tout particulier à Pauline du Stade Toulousain qui a rendu cet épisode possible.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : Le secret pour flirter avec les 90% de taux de transformation00:12:10 : Tomber amoureux du ballon ovale à 5 ans00:17:02 : Comment revenir en forme après la coupure estivale00:21:19 : Jongler entre championnat, coupe d'Europe et périodes internationales00:27:14 : "Un second choix est toujours moins bon qu'un mauvais premier choix"00:33:36 : Enchaîner les saisons, jusqu'à ce que le corps lâche00:39:45 : L'importance de la vidéo dans le rugby moderne00:44:42 : Tout scruter pour optimiser la performance00:52:56 : Gérer l'arrivée d'un nouveau-né quand on est sportif de haut niveau00:58:47 : Son engagement dans la lutte contre l'endométriose01:04:09 : Les nombreux sujets tabous dans le rugby01:07:45 : Pourquoi il est passé de 100 jeux au pied par semaine en espoirs à 8 aujourd'hui01:15:03 : L'importance de la routine01:24:38 : "En 2023, on s'est trop dit qu'on allait gagner"01:31:46 : Comment la presse peut anéantir la carrière d'un joueur en un claquement de doigts01:40:29 : Sa plus grande inspiration rugbystique01:43:49 : "Pour être meilleur il faut que je m'énerve plus souvent"01:49:30 : La place centrale de la préparation mentale dans une carrière01:56:54 : Immobilier, voyages, famille : l'après-carrière rêvée de Thomas02:03:30 : "Ma plus belle victoire c'est la naissance de ma fille"Les anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #524 - Vincent Clerc - XV de France, McDonald's - L'incroyable destin d'un Grenoblois besogneux#479 - Nikola Karabatic - Champion de Handball - 22 titres sur 23 : la légende du sport français#52 - Stéphanie Gicquel - Traileuse - Visualiser pour ne jamais abandonnerNous avons parlé de :L'article de Midi Olympique qui affirme que les ****joueurs du Top 14 élisent Thomas Ramos comme le plus gros chambreur du championnatWhoop, le bracelet qui recueille des données de santéEndoFrance, l'association de lutte contre l'endométriose que soutient ThomasLa série Heated RivalryLe contre de Kolbe en quart de finale de la coupe du monde 2023Frédéric Michalak, l'inspiration de ThomasOlivier Lepretre, le préparateur mental de ThomasLes recommandations de lecture :L'art de la victoire, autobiographie du fondateur de Nike - Phil KnightUn grand MERCI à nos sponsors : Squarespace : https://squarespace.com/doitQonto: https://qonto.com/r/2i7tk9 Brevo: brevo.com/doit eToro: https://bit.ly/3GTSh0k Payfit: payfit.com Club Med : clubmed.frCuure : https://cuure.com/product-onely (code DOIT)Vous pouvez retrouver la liste de tout le matériel utilisé pour enregistrer nos épisodes sur cette page.Vous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Steve Cox, CEO of Clari + Salesloft, joins Sam Jacobs and Asad Zaman to argue that SaaS is far from dead. Steve took the CEO role in December 2025 to merge two of the biggest brands in go-to-market tech into what he calls the world's first predictive revenue system. Topics include the narrative war pushing investors to bet against SaaS-era companies, his one non-negotiable hiring trait, and how to merge two former rivals without one culture eating the other. Plus, a Quiz Pro Quo on go-to-market headcount across US tech and a Bulls and Bears round to close. Key Takeaways: - The AI-native startup boom is already hitting a retention wall, and Steve is watching it arrive deal by deal. As Steve Cox, CEO of Clari plus Salesloft, put it: "the amount of AI native companies that come across my desk now that... are up for sale, you know, they've run out of funding... they grew to 2, 3, 4 million of ARR pretty quickly and then struggled with retention." His read is that everyone knows AI exists now, so driving real adoption "has become more important than ever." - Steve reframes the AI hype cycle as the next layer of infrastructure the industry will absorb, the way it absorbed cloud and big data. As he points out, "how many of us are gonna be talking about AI 3 years from now, 4 years from now?... when was the last time someone mentioned the cloud or Internet of Things or big data?" He expects AI to "layer into everything that we do," which is why he is embedding it into existing revenue workflows rather than fundamentally rebranding the company around it. - The one non-negotiable trait Steve screens for in every executive hire is low ego, because he believes "high ego kills innovation and kills speed." He pairs that with blunt clarity for a merged workforce, telling his first all-hands "It's okay to not to want to be here," so the people who do not buy into the combined company can find the exit fast instead of dragging it down. - Sam Jacobs, CEO of Pavilion, argues a profitable SaaS business with strong retention should ignore where the market trades today. "In the short term, markets are voting machines. In the long term, markets are weighing machines," he said, adding that if you are profitable with good retention, "your customers are voting for you on behalf of the market." The job, in his framing, is to be right long enough that you never have to tap the capital markets at the wrong moment.

Im April 2005 nannte der damalige SPD-Chef Franz Müntefering Finanzinvestoren „Heuschrecken" – auf der internen SPD-Liste standen elf Namen: KKR, Apax, Goldman Sachs, BC Partners, Carlyle, Permira, Blackstone, CVC, Advent, Saban und WCM. Münteferings Lehrstück war die Grohe AG. Einundzwanzig Jahre später ist Grohe globaler Marktführer im Sanitärbereich, Hauptsitz Düsseldorf, mehrere tausend Beschäftigte. Bei Grohe ist die Heuschrecke zu einem Aufbauhelfer geworden.Im Juni 2026 fand in Berlin die SuperReturn International statt – das weltgrößte Branchentreffen mit über 6.000 Investoren aus 80 Ländern und rund 50 Billionen Dollar Anlagevermögen. Die deutsche Realität dazu: Jedes vierte Startup erwägt laut Digitalwirtschaftsverband Bitkom, das Land zu verlassen, weil es hier keine Wachstumsfinanzierung findet. Über 75 Prozent des Wagniskapitals im ersten Quartal 2026 kamen aus dem Ausland. 2,8 Billionen Euro Anlagekapital liegen in deutschen Versicherungen, Pensionskassen und Stiftungen. 14 Milliarden Euro davon könnten jährlich in deutsche Wachstumsunternehmen fließen – wenn die Regeln passen würden. Die deutsche Wachstumsfrage ist eine deutsche Kapitalfrage.Daniel Stelter spricht darüber mit Ulrike Hinrichs, Hauptgeschäftsführerin des Bundesverbandes Beteiligungskapital (BVK), der sich selbst als Stimme der Venture-Capital- und Private-Equity-Branche in Deutschland bezeichnet.Hinweis ABSTURZ – So retten wir Deutschland: das neue Buch von Daniel Stelter.
