Ideencouch – Der Podcast, der selbstständig macht mit Jan Evers
Wie findet man die nächsten großen Innovationen? Und was macht ein erfolgreiches Investment aus? In dieser Sonderfolge der Ideencouch taucht ihr ein in die Welt eines der erfolgreichsten Venture Capitalisten Europas: Florian Schweitzer und seine Investmentfirma b2venture.

Wie er durch das Platzen der Dotcom-Blase lernte, was wirklich wichtig ist beim Aufbau von Unternehmen. Und wie b2venture heute Gründer*innen dabei unterstützt, ihre Visionen Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen. Besonders spannend sind Florians Erkenntnisse zum Thema Vertrieb und Innovation: Warum war DeepL seiner Zeit so weit voraus?

Quem já usava cartão de crédito ou débito no começo dos anos 2000, vai lembrar que nem todo cartão passava em qualquer maquininha. Às vezes era preciso ter dois cartões diferentes só para garantir que não ia passar vergonha na hora de pagar. Existia um problema claro - ou uma dor, como os empreendedores costumam dizer. E a SumUp, uma empresa de pagamentos móveis apareceu. A empresa foi fundada em 2012 na Alemanha, mas pouquíssimo tempo depois já tinha chegado no Brasil. No episódio, que tem apoio da Salesforce, Carlos Grecco, CEO da SumUp no Brasil, contou a história da empresa e falou sobre como busca se conectar com os clientes.
Global fintech SumUp has unveiled Bookings, a cutting-edge solution designed to empower service-oriented businesses, including those in the beauty industry, and professional services, with streamlined scheduling and management capabilities. Free and easy to use, Bookings makes it simple for SumUp merchants to manage appointments, automate their schedules, and take payment. Scheduling preferences have evolved with modern technology and online bookings, providing an additional, more accessible option for potential customers, including those who may have faced challenges with traditional telephone or in-person arrangements in the past. SumUp continually invites merchant feedback for tools that are needed to simplify running a business. A free bookings service was a frequent request and so SumUp got to work. Appointment-based industries and professions such as hairdressers, wellness and spa treatments, and massage therapists place a significant value on such a tool. Online bookings align closely with many customers' research habits. Evidence shows that by enabling a seamless transition from internet search to booking, businesses often see a significant increase in conversion rates. Another upside of online bookings is the fact they can be done anytime and anywhere. This adds yet another level of ease and convenience to potential customers. Traditional telephone booking is limited to opening hours and it can be tough to find an agreeable time for a haircut or dinner reservation if you call at a busy time or if your original preference is not available. Whereas online you can book in your own time and review available options. As well as making life easier for the consumer, this also saves time for businesses that take fewer phone calls or answer fewer emails. Merchants can simply share their booking page via social media or their website to automate the process of taking new appointments. SumUp Bookings launch SumUp launched Bookings across its core European markets - including the UK, France, Germany, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain - through the summer months of 2024 and has now launched in all other European markets where SumUp operates. SumUp will confirm later this year advanced functionalities, including but not limited to: multiple calendars, no-show protection, advanced booking settings, and reporting. Grzegorz Lech, SumUp VP of Engineering: "At SumUp we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver products which simplify business for our merchants. On a sector-by-sector basis, we constantly strive to deliver best-in-class, original products that make business hassle-free. Service-oriented businesses, such as hairdressers and eateries, require tools that make it easier for customers to schedule visits. Diverse booking options can open up potential new revenue streams."

Camila Borja is a User Research expert with almost 15 years of experience, driving insights for companies like Zalando, SumUp, and Itaú. She leads strategic projects, trains teams in research methods, and has worked with global brands such as J&J, Sanofi, and Disney. With a degree in Public Relations and Public Opinion, Camila is a dedicated problem-solver who bridges research and business to deliver impactful results.In our conversation, we discuss:* What “research theater” really means and how it undermines the value of user insights across organizations.* The risks of continuous discovery becoming a buzzword-driven process with little depth or direction.* The internal conflict researchers face when stakeholders ask to bury insights that don't fit the roadmap.* Why junior researchers are especially vulnerable to being pulled into performative work and how to protect against it.* How senior researchers can shift into a more strategic role by partnering with stakeholders and driving conversations, not just insights.Some takeaways:* Research theater can distort data and erode trust. Camila explains that research theatre often arises when teams mimic the motions of good research without actually delivering depth or insight. Whether it's cherry-picked data, rushed usability tests, or stakeholder-directed outcomes, the result is the same: decisions based on illusion rather than reality. The impact is compounded because it corrupts the foundation, the data. that other decisions rely on.* Continuous discovery needs rigor, not just speed. While continuous discovery can be powerful, Camila argues that it often turns into a performance, such as 30-minute calls each week with no clear direction, biased questions, and very little impact. Without intention and structure, these rituals drain researcher time and produce low-value outcomes, threatening the credibility of the practice.* Junior researchers are often set up to perform, not investigate. Early-career researchers can easily be pulled into validation work or asked to execute a process without context. They may lack the confidence or experience to challenge requests. Study the foundational theory, ask why relentlessly, and avoid blindly accepting stakeholder requests that don't serve users.* To escape the theatrics, researchers must become business partners. Senior researchers should step beyond insight delivery and into the role of strategic advisors. That means building relationships, staying close to decisions, and understanding stakeholder motivations. Camila urges researchers to ask what's driving decisions and find the middle ground between user needs and business realities.* Avoiding theater always starts with asking “why?” Whether it's a stakeholder request for a marketplace feature or a directive to skip over certain findings, researchers must stay curious. Asking why isn't just for participants, it's also for ourselves and our teams. This curiosity is what transforms research from performance into progress.Where to find Camila:* Dicas da Camila Youtube* LinkedIn* MediumInterested in sponsoring the podcast?Interested in sponsoring or advertising on this podcast?

Global fintech leader, SumUp, has announced it is expanding its offering with the launch of SumUp Pay for consumers in the Irish market. Through diversifying its offering, SumUp looks to support both the consumer and merchant, reinforcing its commitment to the Irish entrepreneurial landscape and wider economy. This new solution permits online and in-store payments with a virtual Mastercard and the ability to earn 0,5% cashback on every purchase, earning up to €10 per calendar month. With SumUp Pay, the company now enables consumers to create a free account, accessible via the mobile app, enabling full financial autonomy. Users can instantly access a free virtual Mastercard and top up their account via card or bank transfer. SumUp Pay allows for secure, fee-free payments worldwide, with transactions deducted directly from the balance and verified through biometric authentication like Touch or Face ID. SumUp Pay offers a straightforward cashback system, giving users 0,5% back on every purchase, with no minimum spend or restrictions. Unlike other services, there are no conditions to meet; users can earn up to €10 per month simply by making everyday purchases at any retailer, both online and at brick and mortar shops. Other features of SumUp Pay include the ability to easily split bills or send money to friends directly within the app. The peer-to-peer payment feature also supports free instant SEPA transfers, ensuring that funds arrive within minutes. Additionally, SumUp Pay can act as a personal financial coach, helping its users track expenses. The "Space" feature allows users to organise their money by creating multiple spending categories for saving, planning, or limiting expenses. This streamlined management is complemented by detailed reports, enabling users to monitor their spending, set monthly goals, and gain real-time insights into where and how they are spending their money. "With SumUp Pay, we are providing a simple and accessible solution for managing daily finances. Our goal is to help users regain control of their money while offering tangible benefits such as instant, no-strings-attached cashback. A satisfied consumer becomes a loyal customer, and a loyal customer brings success to merchants," added Erik Schünemann, Product Lead at SumUp on today's announcement. Niall Mac an tSionnaigh, CEO of SumUp Ireland commented: "With the rising cost of living in Ireland, at SumUp we are focused on making life a little easier for both consumers and merchants. We're committed to providing simple, valuable payment solutions for businesses, while also looking out for the people who shop with them. Our goal is to create a marketplace where everyone is supported, cared for, and able to thrive, helping to build a more self-sufficient, connected community for all." Following successful launches of SumUp Pay in other key markets, and building on the momentum of innovations like Cash Advance in the Irish market, SumUp continues to work towards an inclusive ecosystem that bolsters the economy and empowers consumers and merchants alike.

A recent survey conducted by global fintech company SumUp, reveals distinctive trends among business owners across work demands, key indicators of success and evolving business needs. The Europe-wide survey conducted across five European markets: Ireland, the UK, France, Italy, and Germany, offers insights on various aspects of Irish businesses, including working habits, adoption of digital payments, and aspirations for future growth. Growth takes precedence over work-life balance for business owners, as the survey reveals that just under a third (33%) of respondents are working 40-60 hours per week followed by 40.1% working 20-40 hours per week and only 16.9% working less than 20 hours. When asked how long a typical lunch break was for respondents, the data shows that Irish merchants take notably shorter lunch breaks. 33.8% take only 15-30 minutes for lunch, the highest among surveyed countries while 29.8% rarely take a lunch break at all. Only 6.1% take over an hour, a stark contrast to Italy, where 32.9% enjoy extended lunch breaks. There is, however, play amidst all the work; when asked how they would spend an extra 10 hours per week, Irish merchants showed a clear preference for personal well-being over business growth, with 39.9% opting for more time with family and friends, 38% prioritising rest and self-care while Business-focused tasks were viewed as less appealing uses of extra time, with just 14.3% focusing on marketing and customer growth, and 8.2% dedicating the time to product development. Further to this, Irish merchants seem to prioritise holiday time more than some of their European counterparts: just over a third (33.4%) of respondents take 3-4 weeks off annually, compared to only 29.9% in the UK. 27.9% take 1-2 weeks off, while only 8.1% take less than a week. A significant 12.6% said their vacation time varies each year, likely reflecting the unpredictability of running a business. Further highlighting the struggles business owners may face when juggling demanding schedules, respondents noted that 'cloning themselves' would be their superpower of choice if possible, with 22% noting such. Other popular potential superpowers for Irish merchants included the desire to speak every language at 21.4% - perhaps reflecting global expansion ambitions -, with 18.8% looking to acquire mind-reading ability, and 12.8% choosing time travel. Niall Mac an tSionnaigh, CEO of SumUp Limited commented: "The survey highlights both the resilience and commitment of Irish business owners, often balancing long hours with personal commitments. The dedication to growth is evident, not just in these findings but in every interaction with local small businesses day-to-day. With this ambition, it is crucial that a healthy work-life balance also be obtainable. "We believe that simplifying operations for businesses is critical in helping them take back their time, allowing them to focus on both business growth and personal well-being. Working smart can be just as important as working hard when scaling for growth, and at SumUp we're here to support that." Growth is the overriding goal amongst those surveyed, with 37.3% ranking growing their customer base as the most important factor for success - higher than any other surveyed country. Other key priorities include a focus on revenue (27.3%), achieving a work-life balance (12.2%), and efficiency through technology adoption also coming through as an area of importance (7.7%). To stay competitive in the evolving commercial landscape, technological innovations are proving crucial. For business owners across Ireland who are embracing digital transformation, many are experiencing significant revenue growth. The survey revealed that while over 12% of Irish businesses saw a 25-50% revenue increase from adopting digital payments, nearly 15% experienced a 10-25% boost, and 8.5% more than doubled their revenue. This underscores not only the growing demand for technological advances but the value t...
Immer freitags analysieren wir in unserem "Wochen-Podcast" aktuelle Entwicklungen in der deutschen Banken-, Fintech- und Payment-Branche. Diesmal haben sich Redakteur Christian Kirchner und Branchen-Insider Jochen Siegert den folgenden Themen gewidmet: #1: Guthaben statt Eingang für's Gratiskonto: Beginnt bei der Commerzbank jetzt die große Kundenflucht? Und ist das eingepreist – oder sogar intendiert? #2: Die Commerzbank positioniert die Comdirect so ähnlich, wie die Deutsche Bank seit einiger Zeit die Postbank #3: Was die riesige Vertriebsoffensive von SumUp für die Girocard (und damit für die deutsche Kreditwirtschaft) bedeutet #4: Erst BayernLB, jetzt Helaba: Warum die Modernisierung alter Core-Banking-Systeme so schwierig ist – und der CIO oft am wenigsten dafür kann #5: Großraumbüro ist nicht gleich Großraumbüro: Warum aktuell so viele Banken (wie jüngst die Coba und die ING Diba) händeringend nach neuen Flächen suchen #6: Die großen Banken hierzulande setzen nur noch auf Visa oder Mastercard – aber nicht mehr auf beide.

Rechnet sich das? #2: Chaos beim Genoverband. Einfach nur ein weiterer Einzelfall? Oder ein weiteres Indiz, dass im VR-Sektor grundsätzlich was im Argen liegt? #3: Die Bawag schließt die Übernahme der deutschen Konsumenten-Finanzierung von Barclays ab. Was machen die Österreicher jetzt damit (in Zeiten schwindender Erträge aus Interchange und Restschuld-Versicherung)? #4: N26 erreicht die Gewinnschwelle, akquiriert wieder deutlich mehr Kunden und baut die Belegschaft aus.

Ideencouch – Der Podcast, der selbstständig macht mit Jan Evers
Wie macht man aus drei etablierten Dingen etwas völlig Neues? Das zeigt SumUp eindrucksvoll. In dieser Folge der Ideencouch analysieren Jan und Patrick das Geschäftsmodell des Fintech-Unternehmens, das den Zahlungsverkehr revolutioniert hat. Die beiden tauchen tief ein in die Erfolgsgeschichte eines Startups, das dort erfolgreich ist, wo andere keinen Markt sahen: bei kleinen Händlern, auf Märkten und in Cafés. Mit ihrem kompakten Kartenlesegerät und der dahinterliegenden Technologie ermöglicht SumUp bargeldloses Bezahlen für alle - einfach und schön designed. Während traditionelle Banken den Zahlungsverkehr jahrzehntelang als notwendiges Übel betrachteten, erkannte SumUp das Potenzial und baute einen völlig neuen Vertriebsansatz auf. Patrick und Jan diskutieren, wie wichtig der Zahlungsverkehr heute ist - von der Autowäsche in Norwegen bis zum Bauernhof-Shop in der Schweiz. Sie zeigen auf, warum hinter der vermeintlichen Einfachheit harte Entwicklungsarbeit steckt und was andere Unternehmen von SumUp lernen können. Eine spannende Analyse eines Unternehmens, das beweist: Manchmal muss man einen Markt erst schaffen, bevor man ihn erobern kann.

Finance Forward - Der Podcast zu New Finance, Fintech, Crypto, Blockchain & Co.
Sumup gehört zu den größten deutschstämmigen Fintechs und hat sich über die letzten zwölf Jahre fest im Zahlungsmarkt etabliert. Zuletzt baute das Startup aber auch abseits des Payment-Angebots sein Geschäft aus. Welche Strategie das Unternehmen damit verfolgt und wie es um einen möglichen Börsengang steht, darüber spricht Gründer Marc-Alexander Christ im Podcast.
Patrick spricht mit Florian Schweitzer, Partner bei der Venture Capital Firma b2venture. b2venture ist ein Frühinvestor in Firmen, die wir alle kennen, von DeepL über SumUp, die die kleinen weissen Kästchen vertreiben, mit denen jeder Kartenzahlungen akzeptieren kann, bis zu Schweizern eher unbekannten Firmen wie Raisin (Weltsparen), die über 70 Mrd. Euro Spareinlage verwalten oder 1komma5, die durch die Installation von PV Anlagen und Wärmepumpen, den Strommarkt ändern wolllen. All den genannten Firmen ist gemein, dass sie Einhörner sind, sprich eine Bewertung von über 1 Mrd.. Euro haben und für uns viel wichtiger, wirklich relevant für die Kunden sind. Wertvolle Erkenntnisse, wie immer aus der Sendeanstalt Beromünster.

We're back with another Nordic Fintech Highlights episode, where Pål, Ville, and our regular guest co-host Janne Salminen from Helsinki Fintech Farm unpack the latest from the Nordics—and this week, it's all about tech innovations, top fintech picks, and payment upgrades! First up, Pål takes us through Lunar's big news: they're launching GenAI, Europe's first AI-native voice assistant for banking. Imagine a future where your bank not only listens but actually “gets” you—no more endless tapping or navigating through menus. But can AI really deliver that seamless experience, or are we still a few updates away from our banking chatbot dreams? Next, Janne dives into the Helsinki Fintech Farm's latest “Top 20 Nordic Fintechs” list. Who's in, who's out, and which trends are setting the pace this year? Janne also covers the recent news that Mastercard has acquired Minna Technologies, a game-changing move that could bring subscription management to the fingertips of millions globally. Finally, Ville wraps things up with an update on tap-to-pay, with Adyen, SumUp, myPOS, and Viva rolling out this feature across European markets. From tap-to-pay iPhones to terminal-free transactions, the payment space just keeps getting easier and more digital. But are we inching closer to a cashless society, or will it all be canceled because people will start using their phones to steal contactless card information in crowded places?

Running a small business in Ireland is no easy task, however, the lingering effects of the recent recession are now starting to shrink and 2024 is seeing inflation drop to its lowest level in 33 months and is expected to keep lowering over the next year1. With this in mind, SumUp surveyed 250 small Irish business owners and decision makers within small businesses to see how confident they feel about the state of the current Irish market, and if their current confidence levels extend to future expectations. Confidence levels over the next 12 months: Overall, small business owners and decision makers in Ireland are feeling confident about their business over the next year, especially as the Irish economy recovers from the technical recession it entered in 2023. Two in five respondents (40%) said that they were feeling very confident that their business will experience significant growth over the course of the year. Not only that, but a further 23% of those said that they were confident, although they acknowledged they had concerns. Only one in 12 (8%) of participants said that they were worried about their business's future and expected there to be challenges to overcome. Additionally, 7% said that they were uncertain about the future, and either expect their business to grow or decline significantly. Current concerns and challenges among small businesses: Over two-fifths (44%) of respondents said that their strongest current challenge regarding their business is the economy and inflation, including rising costs of raw materials and stock. Additionally, 39% of participants said that the cost of bills and necessary investments is the biggest difficulty they are facing. There are a number of ways in which small business owners and decision makers are trying to combat these challenges, 37% are working on cost-saving plans regarding their supply chain, professional services and change of their service providers to lower the cost of their monthly bills. Additionally, 35% are reworking their business so it is more eco-friendly, resulting in lower energy costs. In terms of concerns, 37% of respondents are afraid that they might have to lay off employees in the future or change the location of their business due to costs. Additionally, 32% of those who participated in the survey feel as though they might have to sell their business in the future if they do not overcome challenges. The importance of digital transformation: Digital transformation is becoming more important for small businesses, aiding them to deliver value to customers, keep up with evolving expectations and stay ahead of the competition. It seems as though a fair number of business owners and decision makers are currently viewing digital transformation as a challenge, with 38% agreeing that it is a current obstacle they are facing.

No final do mês passado, o Banco Central alertou sobre um vazamento de dados de 90 mil chaves Pix pertencentes a clientes da Sumup. Segundo o BC, o vazamento ocorreu entre 28 de setembro de 2023 e 16 de março de 2024 e envolveu informações como nome do usuário, CPF, instituição de relacionamento, agência e número da conta. Este foi o sétimo incidente desse tipo desde o lançamento do sistema de pagamentos instantâneos, em novembro de 2020.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Marc-Alexander Christ, COO und Co-Founder von SumUp, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 285 Millionen Euro an Krediten und Eigenkapital.SumUp verkauft mobile Lesegeräte für bargeldloses Bezahlen und bietet eine breite Palette an Finanzdienstleistungen an. Das Startup hilft als Partner im Bereich Finanzen mehr als 4 Millionen Klein- und Kleinstunternehmen dabei, ihr Unternehmen auf- und auszubauen. Über die Super-App bietet das FinTech Handelsunternehmen ein kostenloses Geschäftskonto und die kostenlose SumUp Card. Diese stellt eine Onlineshop-Lösung sowie Vor-Ort- und Remote-Zahlungslösung dar, die nahtlos in die SumUp-eigenen Kartenterminals und die Kassensysteme integriert sind. SumUp wurde im Jahr 2012 von Jan Deepen, Marc-Alexander Christ, Petter Made und Stefan Jeschonnek in Berlin gegründet und hat seinen Hauptsitz in London. Rund 3.000 Mitarbeitende unterstützen die Kundinnen und Kunden in 36 Ländern. Neben der Bedienung großer Geschäftskunden wie DHL, Bosch oder Free Now hebt sich die Geschäftsidee von SumUp von den meisten Finanzdienstleistern und Banken ab, indem das Startup auch insbesondere Kleinunternehmern Zugang zu benutzerfreundlichen Zahlungslösungen wie Kartenterminals und Online-Zahlungsarten jeglicher Art anbietet. Das Unternehmen hat sich im Rahmen seines Impact-Ansatzes dazu verpflichtet, 1 % des Umsatzes zur Unterstützung von Umwelt-, Bildungs- und unternehmerischen Projekten zu spenden.Nun hat der Zahlungsdienstleister in einer Finanzierungsrunde 285 Millionen Euro unter der Führung von Sixth Street Growth eingesammelt. Vom Gesamtvolumen entfallen rund zwei Drittel auf Eigenkapital. Nach der letzten Finanzierungsrunde im Jahr 2022 in Höhe von 590 Millionen Euro wurde das deutsch-britische Startup nach eigenen Angaben mit 8 Milliarden Euro bewertet. Zu der aktuellen Bewertung hat sich SumUp nicht geäußert. Das frische Kapital soll für die Erweiterung der internationalen Präsenz eingesetzt werden.

L'iPhone d'Apple permet désormais de recevoir directement des paiements par carte bancaire. Cette innovation majeure marque une nouvelle étape dans la révolution induite par le mobile dans l'univers des paiements. Historiquement, le smartphone a d'abord facilité les paiements en ligne grâce à l'Internet mobile. Puis, avec l'essor du paiement sans contact, devenu incontournable en Europe pendant la crise Covid-19 (aujourd'hui, 90% des Français l'utilisent régulièrement), l'iPhone a évolué pour devenir un moyen de paiement physique. Parallèlement, les smartphones, notamment l'iPhone, sont devenus cruciaux pour la sécurisation des transactions en ligne grâce à la double authentification. Du côté des commerçants, des solutions comme Square ou Sumup ont ouvert la voie à l'utilisation des smartphones pour accepter les paiements par carte. La récente innovation d'Apple, lancée le 14 novembre 2023, la fonction "tap to pay", permet maintenant de se passer d'accessoire supplémentaire. Avec cette fonctionnalité, l'iPhone se transforme en un terminal de paiement sans contact autonome, capable de recevoir des paiements par carte, mobile ou montre connectée, sans frais additionnels pour les utilisateurs. Cette évolution remarquable de l'iPhone d'Apple dans le secteur des paiements annonce des changements significatifs pour les professionnels et promet une nouvelle étape dans la simplification de la vie quotidienne.
In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Maximilian Zoller, Principal von HV Capital, über die Herausforderungen und Chancen der Gründung von Special Purpose Vehicles.HV Capital unterstützt Internet- und Technologieunternehmen über verschiedene Fondsgenerationen und ist einer der finanzstärksten Frühphasen- und Wachstums-Risikokapitalgeber in Europa. Die Fonds des VCs haben bereits in rund 200 Unternehmen investiert, wozu auch Zalando, Delivery Hero, FlixBus und SumUp gehören. Das Gesamtkapital der Fonds beläuft sich auf 1,7 Milliarden Euro. Der Kapitalgeber unterstützt Startups mit einem Kapital zwischen 500.000 Euro und 50 Millionen Euro. Der Fonds wurde im Jahr 2000 als Investment-Arm der Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck unter dem Namen HV Holtzbrinck Ventures ins Leben gerufen.Maximilian Zoller ist Principal bei HV Capital und hat bei Thermondo eine Zweckgesellschaft gegründet sowie geleitet. Außerdem hat er den Erfolg von Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) in Startups miterlebt und kann einen Überblick über die Herausforderungen und Chancen von SPV-Strukturen darstellen. Ein SPV ist eine Tochtergesellschaft, die dazu dienen kann, finanzielle Risiken zu isolieren, Vermögenswerte zu verbriefen und separate Finanztransaktionen durchzuführen. Die Praxis erfährt regelmäßig öffentliche Kritik, da die konsolidierungsfreie Ausgliederung von bedeutenden Vermögenswerten und Liquiditätsrisiken in Zweckgesellschaften missbräuchlich dazu genutzt werden können, um Jahresabschlüsse durch Bilanzverkürzung von Risiken zu befreien, die eine Unternehmenskrise auslösen oder verstärken würden. Chancen bestehen allerdings auch darin, beispielsweise den Klimawandel zu bekämpfen, indem durch eine SVP-Struktur erneuerbare Anlagen einfacher finanziert werden können.

Niet alleen de overheid, maar ook het Nederlandse bedrijfsleven legt zijn personeel TikTok-verboden op. Het FD schrijft dat er sinds enkele maanden zo'n verbod van kracht is bij onderzoeksinstituut TNO. Ook advocatenkantoren als Nauta, Houthoff en Pels Rijcken willen niet dat hun personeel de app van het Chinese Bytedance gebruikt. Medewerkers van ASML kunnen de website van TikTok niet bezoeken op hun laptops.De bedrijven maken zich, net als de overheid, zorgen over de veiligheidsrisico's die aan het gebruik van TikTok kleven. Een woordvoerder van Pels Rijcken zegt in het FD dat het kantoor als landsadvocaat over “zeer gevoelige informatie [beschikt], waarbij veiligheid voorop staat”.Er zijn ook bedrijven die, ondanks de risico's, blijven inzetten op TikTok. Zo gebruiken ING en NS TikTok om jong personeel te werven. Verder in de Tech Update: Threads, het nieuwe berichtenplatform van Meta dat de strijd aan moet gaan met Elon Musks X (voorheen Twitter), heeft nu ook een webversie. Eerder was Threads alleen nog te gebruiken via een smartphone-app. Het platform is binnen de Europese Unie nog altijd niet beschikbaar. Het is niet langer mogelijk om bij Dropbox ongelimiteerd bestanden op te slaan. Het Advanced-abonnement van 18 euro biedt nog maximaal 15 terabyte aan opslag. Wie meer betaalt, kan meer opslag krijgen. Volgens Dropbox wordt de dienst misbruikt voor andere doeleinden dan zakelijke opslag, waardoor de dienst als geheel slechter dreigt te werken. Onlyfans, het platform waar gebruikers tegen betaling exclusieve (en vaak expliciete) content van favoriete ‘creators' kunnen bekijken, zag de omzet en winst het afgelopen jaar flink toenemen. Het bedrijf bedient 250 miljoen betalende gebruikers en host nu zo'n 3 miljoen creators. Oprichter Leonid Radvinsky ontvangt 338 miljoen dollar aan dividend. We sluiten de week af met de Schaal van Hebben. Bij hoge uitzondering daarin géén fysieke gadget (en dus geen snoertje!), want deze week lanceerde Apple zijn Tap to Pay-dienst in Nederland. Ondernemers kunnen hun iPhone met behulp van de apps van Adyen en SumUp in een pinapparaat laten veranderen. Zijn fysieke pinapparaten daarmee overbodig geworden? Bas, Nina en Michiel zoeken het uit. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Vandaag lanceert Apple Tap To Pay in Nederland. De dienst was al even beschikbaar in onder andere Amerika en Engeland. Met de functie kunnen verkopers hun iPhone gebruiken als pinterminal. Klanten kunnen hun bankpas, creditcard of smartphone tegen de iPhone van de verkoper houden om contactloos te betalen. Volgens Apple is de functie voor iedere soort verkoper te gebruiken, van marktverkoper tot grote winkelketen. Om de dienst te gebruiken heb je een app van een betaalverwerker nodig. Adyen en SumUp zijn de eerste diensten die in Nederland beschikbaar zijn, andere aanbieders volgen later. Als klant kost het niets extra om te betalen via Tap To Pay, de verkoper van het product (en eigenaar van de iPhone die het geld ontvangt) betaalt wel een kleine vergoeding per transactie. Die kosten hangen af van de betaalverwerker die je gebruikt. Verder in deze Tech Update: Microsoft heeft nieuw trucje om overnamedeal Activision Blizzard rond te krijgen in Groot-Brittanië.

Dans ce troisième épisode des “Pieds dans le Plat”, le podcast qui interroge sans détour les managers sur leurs expériences, Claudio reçoit Talia Cohen-Boulakia. Talia a dirigé une équipe de commerciaux chez Tiller, une start-up alors en pleine expansion - 8000 clients et 150 collaborateurs, rachetée par SumUp en 2021 - puis créé, développé et dirigé leur département grands comptes. Aujourd'hui elle lance The Real Sales Queen, un bootcamp pour les femmes commerciales. Dans cet épisode, Talia nous dévoile les apprentissages d'une jeune manager comme par exemple le fait de devoir mettre les mains dans le cambouis et d'essayer, pour montrer que c'est possible et ainsi redéfinir l'exemplarité managériale. Elle évoque notamment l'importance et les bienfaits de la prise de parole quand elle manage ses équipes - sa zone de flow à elle - mais aussi les moments où elle a douté et comment elle les a vécus. Dans cet épisode on parle de :

In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Marc-Alexander Christ, Co-Founder of SumUp, a mobile point of sale solution that's raised $1.5 Billion in funding, about the trials and challenges of disrupting the established payments industry, as well as the benefits it brings to small businesses everywhere. By simplifying orders, unifying payment processes and providing critical insights on everything from tax payments to business performance, SumUp is empowering small businesses with software tools that, until now, have been the reserve of major enterprises. We also talk about Marc-Alexander's background in banking and real estate finance, the inspiration for revolutionizing existing payments systems which inspired founding SumUp, causing a major market disruption and the inevitable skepticism that brings from incumbents, and why small businesses became the focus of this global-facing payments platform. Topics Discussed: Marc-Alexander's background in banking and real estate finance, and how he eventually found himself in the startup sector The inspiration for SumUp's disruptive payments system and what it means for small businesses Why doing something new will always bring skepticism from incumbents, but why real disruption is always worth it Why focusing on payments addresses a critical pain point for SumUp's clients in the small business world How resilience and investor appeal have both contributed to SumUp's success in the startup economy Favorite book: Moonshots: Creating a World of Abundance
Matt began as a top consultant at McKinsey, where he witnessed the power of customer loyalty programs and immediately understood why large companies pay millions of dollars to create them. His vision for Fivestars was to make the power of a Fortune 500 customer loyalty program accessible to local businesses. Fivestars has gone from two guys in a garage to serving thousands of businesses across the country. In October 2021, Fivestars was acquired by global payments leader, SumUp.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 9, Texas Rangers 8 Arizona Diamondbacks 3, Chicago White Sox 2 Milwaukee Brewers 9, Chicago Cubs 7 Tigers 9, Rangers 8 – Garcia’s hit streak ends at 23, Rangers fall to Tigers Adolis Garcia struck out during a Texas rally that fell short in the ninth inning, ending his 23-game hitting streak as the Detroit Tigers held off the Rangers 9-8. Garcia’s streak was the longest in the American League this season. He went 0 for 3 with two walks and fell one game short of matching the longest hitting string ever by a Cuban-born big leaguer, set by Rafael Palmeiro in 1994 for Baltimore. Harold Castro drove in five runs as the Tigers built a 9-0 lead in the sixth. Corey Seager homered twice for Texas. Detroit took a 9-2 lead into eighth before Garcia had an RBI groundout and Kole Calhoun hit a two-run homer. After Texas closed to 9-8 in the ninth, Garcia fanned with a runner on second. D’Backs 3, White Sox 2 – Diamondbacks down scuffling White Sox 3-2 to finish sweep Jake McCarthy hit a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks completed a three-game sweep of the struggling Chicago White Sox with a 3-2 victory. Diamondbacks rookie Stone Garrett launched his first major league home run and Sergio Alcántara also went deep for Arizona, which earned its first interleague sweep since 2019. Noé Ramirez pitched a scoreless eighth and Ian Kennedy got three outs for his ninth save. Kendall Graveman took the loss in relief of Dylan Cease, who allowed Arizona’s two solo homers while striking out eight in a career-high eight innings. Alcántara hit his fourth homer of the season in the eighth to tie it at 2. Brewers 9, Cubs 7 – Yelich, Wong HR, Mitchell’s 1st hit, Brewers beat Cubs 9-7 Christian Yelich and Kolten Wong each homered for the second straight game and 2020 first-round draft pick Garrett Mitchell drove in two runs with the first hit of his big league career, leading the Milwaukee Brewers over the Chicago Cubs 9-7. Brewers starter Eric Lauer worked five innings, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four. Chicago got 3 1/3 out of right-hander Adrian Sampson, who allowed just a run despite five hits and a walk. Chicago reliever Sean Newcomb gave up six runs in an inning as Cubs lost for the sixth time in their last nine games. Tonight Chicago Cubs (Assad 0-0) at Toronto (Berríos 9-5), 7:07 p.m. White Sox and Tigers are off NFL – National Football League – Preseason week 3 Saturday Chicago Bears 21, Cleveland Browns 20 Indianapolis Colts 21, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 Yesterday Pittsburgh Steelers 19, Detroit Lions 9 Steelers 19, Lions 9 – Trubisky makes case for QB job as Steelers top Lions 19-9 Mitch Trubisky staked his claim to be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback, throwing for 160 yards and a touchdown in a 19-9 win over Detroit in the NFL’s preseason finale. Trubisky was at his best late in the first half, leading the Steelers on a 92-yard drive that ended with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Steven Sims. Rookie Kenny Pickett played well in the second half for Ptitsburgh but it appears Trubisky has the inside track to be the starter when the Steelers begin the regular season in Cincinnati on Sept. 11. WNBA – WNBA Playoffs – WNBA Semifinals (best of 5) Yesterday Connecticut Sun 68, Chicago Sky 63 (CON leads 1-0) Sun 68, Sky 63 – Bonner scores 15 as Sun beat Sky in Game 1 of WNBA semis DeWanna Bonner had 15 points and nine rebounds to lead the Connecticut to a 68-63 win over the Chicago Sky in Game 1 of their WNBA semifinals series. Jonquel Jones scored 12 points and also grabbed nine rebounds for the Sun, Alyssa Thomas had 12 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, and Brionna Jones added 12 points. Candace Parker had 19 points and 18 rebounds for the Sky, and Kahleah Copper scored 13 points on 5-for-10 shooting. LLWS – Hawaii wins Little League title, beating Curacao 13-3 Hawaii got back-to-back homers from Kekoa Payanal and Kama Angell in the first inning, sparking a 13-3 win in just four innings Sunday over Curacao in the championship of the Little League World Series. The LLWS title is Hawaii’s fourth. It won in 2018 and this same Honolulu team finished third last year, when COVID-19 travel restrictions prevented international teams from participating. Hawaii starter Jaron Lancaster was dominant once again as he threw all four innings, while only allowing three runs, three hits and striking out 10 Curacao hitters. NASCAR – Dillon, Blaney nab last playoff spots at rain-soaked Daytona Austin Dillon avoided a massive wreck in the rain to win at Daytona International Speedway and snag a playoff spot in the Cup Series’ regular-season finale. Dillon passed Austin Cindric for the lead with three laps to go after a 3 hour, 20 minute red flag for inclement weather. It was an aggressive move that capped a drama-filled race. Martin Truex Jr. was the biggest loser. Truex looked like he would secure the final postseason berth when the skies opened up, but he faded once the race restarted and allowed Ryan Blaney to make up ground in a wild points scramble. Tennis – US Open – Williams sisters to face Czech pair in US Open doubles Serena and Venus Williams were drawn to face the Czech pair of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova in the first round of doubles at the U.S. Open.The U.S. Tennis Association announced the doubles brackets Sunday, a day before the tournament begins.Doubles competition will begin on Wednesday.It is the first doubles event for the Williams sisters together since the 2018 French Open.

Noskova is a 17-year-old who never has won a Grand Slam match in singles or doubles. NCAAFB – Free beer was right call at Dublin game says catering firm In the postgame analysis, free beer at the Nebraska-Northwestern game in Ireland was the right call. The freebies flowed for two hours during Northwestern’s 31-28 victory on Saturday, and the catering company for Aviva Stadium hailed its workers for keeping the refreshments coming. Levy UK + Ireland said Sunday the problem was with its payment provider, SumUp, and not with the stadium’s internet connection. Levy, a sports and hospitality caterer whose other clients include English Premier League soccer clubs, did not give an estimate of lost revenue. Golf – PGA – McIlroy storms from 6 back to win FedEx Cup and $18 million Rory McIlroy is the FedEx Cup champion for the third time. He stormed from a record-tying six shots behind to win the Tour Championship and capture the $18 million prize. Scottie Scheffler never trailed all week until the 70th hole. He built the six-shot lead Sunday morning with four birdies in six holes to complete the third round. But he was never on his game and made only one birdie in a round of 73. McIlroy shot a 66. He says winning felt even more significant because of the tumultuous year caused by Saudi-funded LIV Golf. Cycling – Kenyan cyclist dies in crash during gravel race in Vermont Kenyan cyclist Sule Kangangi has died in a crash during a gravel race in Vermont. Kangangi was competing in the Vermont Overland race on Saturday when he died in a crash at high speed. The wife of president-elect William Ruto of Kenya posted on Twitter that she was shocked to learn the sad news that he had passed away after a tragic crash. Rachel Ruto wrote: “We will all miss him as an individual. Kenya has lost a champion. Rest in peace Sule.” The Vermont Overland is a 59-mile dirt road bicycle race that includes nearly 7,000 feet of climbing.

How much of your success is down to luck? Marc-Alexander Christ is the Co-Founder of SumUp, which was recently valued at €8b. He says being in the right place at the right time was a big factor in him starting the company. SumUp is a fintech best known for supplying card readers to small businesses so they can take payments. You may have seen them, and have probably used them because they work with over four million merchants worldwide. It hasn't always gone their way though. As well as some early mistakes that could have proved fatal, they were initially hit hard by the pandemic, which saw their revenue drop around 80% almost overnight. Find out how they managed to adapt and how Marc says you can make the most of the luck you get dealt in life.
