In der aktuellen Zeit verändert sich maßgeblich, wie wir Firmen bauen. Von KI-Integration über effizientere Teams bis hin zur Nutzung moderner Tech-Stacks – du erfährst, warum kleine Teams heute mit den richtigen Tools große Ergebnisse erzielen können und welche Prinzipien Gründer beachten sollten, um nachhaltig und substanziell zu wachsen. Dabei schauen wir uns den Go-To-Market Tech Stack eines deutschen Gründers, ein paar Vorhersagen zu Organisationen der Zukunft und überraschende Daten zu Teamgröße und Umsatz an. Was du lernst: Effizienz durch kleine Teams: Wie kleine, KI-unterstützte Teams Ergebnisse erzielen, die früher große Teams brauchten Beispiele von Unternehmen, die mit wenigen Personen Millionenumsätze erreichen Die Rolle von KI und Tools: Warum KI und Automatisierung entscheidend für modernes Company Building sind Welche Tools und Tech-Stacks Unternehmen nutzen, um Prozesse zu optimieren Veränderung im Marketing und Vertrieb: Warum personalisierter und authentischer Content wichtiger ist als klassische Werbung Wie du mit gezieltem Outbound-Marketing und kleinen Events Leads generierst Substanz statt Wachstum um jeden Preis: Warum es wichtiger ist, nachhaltig zu bauen, statt Probleme mit immer mehr Mitarbeitenden zu lösen Tools: Clay (3.000 free credits): https://clay.com?via=73e581 Cello (1000€ Discount): www.cello.so/unicorn Along (10% discount): https://alongspace.cello.so/UJFKZmJlDXD HeyReach: heyreach.io/?via=fabian2u Attio (10% off): https://www.attio.com?r=O6viQBmfTcOndBKv Ahref: https://ahrefs.com/ Tl;dv: https://tldv.io/ Apollo: https://www.apollo.io/ Aircall: https://aircall.io/ Cursor: https://www.cursor.com/ Quellen: Post von Stefan Bader: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7298658633498677251/ Post von Matt Turck: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7296180925418164225/ Post von Bardo Droege: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7299183195239972864/ Post von Omar Ismail: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7301181821826838529 Post von Michael Jackson: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7308924662090981379/ Post von Yair Slasky: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7300804002382774275/ Kapitel: (00:00:00) Große Ergebnisse trotz kleinem Team: >100M Umsatz mit weniger als 20 Leuten?

Unser Tech-Stack: mit diesen Tools läuft unser KI-Business In dieser Episode bekommst du einen echten Deep Dive in unseren aktuellen Tech Stack – also die Tools, mit denen wir täglich arbeiten, um unser KI-basiertes Business effizient, skalierbar und professionell zu betreiben. Seit fast 13 Jahren bauen wir digitale Produkte, führen Programme durch und unterstützen Solo-Selbstständige und Unternehmer bei der Integration von Künstlicher Intelligenz in ihre Geschäftsmodelle. Und das geht nicht ohne den richtigen Werkzeugkasten. Torsten Körting auf LinkedIn: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/torstenkoerting/ Website & Akademie: WordPress mit Visual Builder & DigiMember Unsere komplette Webpräsenz läuft auf WordPress, umgesetzt mit dem Visual Builder. Das ermöglicht uns schnelles Erstellen und Anpassen von Landingpages, Programmbeschreibungen und Produktseiten. Für unsere Online-Akademie nutzen wir ebenfalls WordPress – ergänzt durch DigiMember, ein Plugin mit direkter Anbindung an Digistore24. Damit wird der Zugang zu gekauften Kursen automatisiert, sauber gemanagt und technisch solide abgebildet. CRM: Close – weil Nähe zählt Nach langer Suche haben wir uns für Close als CRM entschieden. Warum? Weil es einfach funktioniert. Es ist leicht, intuitiv, webbasiert, bietet eine eigene App und hat eine aktive Community. Für uns als wachsendes Team und dynamisches Unternehmen genau das Richtige. E-Mail & Marketing Automation: KlickTipp Für unser E-Mail-Marketing setzen wir auf KlickTipp – ein solides Tool mit intelligenten Kampagnenlogiken. Ob wöchentlicher Newsletter, Ankündigungen zum KI-Café oder automatisierte Sequenzen für neue Kontakte – damit läuft unsere Kommunikation verlässlich und zielgerichtet. Abrechnung & Zahlungsanbieter: Von Digistore zu Stripe Lange haben wir mit Digistore24 gearbeitet – mit allen Vor- und Nachteilen. Fulfillment, Rechnungen, Abo-Modelle – alles inklusive. Aber: der Freigabeprozess und die Inflexibilität haben uns zuletzt gebremst. Deshalb vollziehen wir aktuell den Wechsel zu Stripe. Günstiger, flexibler, direkter – auch wenn's bei der Zahlungssicherheit ein paar Punkte gibt, auf die man achten sollte. Dateiverwaltung: Dropbox Simpel, bewährt, synchronisiert – Dropbox begleitet uns schon seit Tag eins. Und das bleibt auch erstmal so. Buchhaltung: LexOffice + GetMyInvoices Unsere Buchhaltung läuft über LexOffice. Ausgangsrechnungen, Zahlungen, Steuer-Themen – alles wird zentral gemanagt. Ergänzt wird das Ganze durch GetMyInvoices, das automatisch Eingangsrechnungen aus Portalen wie Amazon & Co. zieht und sie sauber für die Buchhaltung aufbereitet. Fazit: Unser Tech Stack ist gewachsen, gereift und auf unsere Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten. Wichtig war uns: Flexibilität, Automatisierung und ein sauberer Flow zwischen den Systemen. Es gibt nicht das perfekte Tool – aber es gibt den perfekten Mix für dein Business. Und genau daran arbeiten wir kontinuierlich. Noch mehr von den Koertings ...

Throughout the episode, we test Manus AI's capabilities by asking it to create a DocuSign clone, research startup ideas, and analyze website SEO.Timestamps:• 00:00 - Intro• 02:18 - What is Manus AI?• 03:58 - Project 1: DocuSign clone• 16:54 - Project 2: Research Greg's top startup ideas• 27:09 - Security concerns with Manus AI • 30:16 - Manus bug and reboot • 32:06 - Deploying DocuSign Clone• 39:42 - Project 3: SEO Optimization • 44:14 - Discussion of Manus's Limitations and Scaling issues• 48:23 - Project 4: Build a Flight Simulator Video Game• 49:48 - AI companies facing scaling issues• 52:05 - Where does Manus excel? • 53:48 - What Manus was able to accomplish during the episodeKey Points:• Testing Manus AI by asking it to autonomously research, plan, and execute complex tasks• Having Manus create a DocuSign clone, research startup ideas, and analyze website SEO• Manus AI functions as a multi-agent system that can browse websites, write code, and deploy applications with minimal prompting• The tool has limitations including context windows, deployment issues, and daily usage limits1) What makes Manus AI different?Unlike ChatGPT or Claude, Manus is a TRUE AGENT system that:• Researches, plans, and executes simultaneously• Controls browsers to gather information autonomously• Creates full applications from simple prompts• Deploys working code with minimal guidance"It's the closest thing to AGI yet" - Min Choi2) The DocuSign Clone Experiment With just a 4-WORD PROMPT ("create a DocuSign clone"), Manus:• Researched DocuSign's core features• Created a complete project structure• Built login, document upload & e-signature functionality• Generated deployable codeAll without templates or boilerplate code!3) Human-in-the-loop capabilities One of the MOST IMPRESSIVE features:• You can interrupt Manus WHILE it's working• Refine requirements mid-process• Add constraints or pivot directionWhen they narrowed focus to "just e-signature features," Manus immediately adjusted its plan without starting over.4) Multi-agent workflow Manus feels like having MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES working simultaneously:• A researcher gathering information• A PM creating specifications• A developer writing code• A marketer analyzing opportunitiesIt's like an entire team in one tool!5) Beyond coding: Marketing & Growth Manus can also:• Analyze websites for SEO improvements• Target specific audiences (like executives)• Create content strategies• Scrape data for market researchIt's not just about building - it's about GROWING your business too.6) Current limitationsManus isn't perfect (yet):• Context length limitations on complex tasks• Deployment issues with sophisticated apps• Daily usage limits (currently ~10 sessions)• Server load causing errors as popularity growsIt's still beta, but even with limitations, it's REVOLUTIONARY.7) Security considerationsSince Manus is a Chinese company, there are valid concerns:• Be mindful of what data you share• Don't connect personal accounts or payment systems• Use for learning & experimentationMin's advice: "Always be careful with the data you share online."The BIG TAKEAWAY: We're witnessing a fundamental shift in how businesses will be built.What used to take weeks now takes MINUTES.What required TEAMS now needs just ONE PERSON with AI.This is just the beginning of the agent AI revolution.Notable Quotes:"I think that we're getting closer and closer to sort of the glimpse into what the AGI is gonna look like." - Min Choi"It feels like we have like four employees working at the same time... We've got this marketing person. We've got this researcher. We've got this cracked PM slash developer." - Greg IsenbergWant more free ideas?

Would you be apprehensive about adding a recruitment bot in your hiring process at the risk of losing the ‘human' factor? Our special guest, Betsy Robinson, explains how they utilize AI trends and other tech stacks to enhance their client and candidate experience. Betsy Robinson is the Founder & CEO of Tier4 Group, a woman-owned, diversity-certified talent acquisition firm headquartered in Atlanta. The company specializes in connecting exceptional talent with top-tier employers for technology and executive roles, combining advanced recruitment automation with a personalized approach. Under her leadership, Tier4 Group has achieved remarkable recognition, including six consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies (2019-2024) and five appearances on the Atlanta Pacesetters list. Episode Outline and Highlights [03:03] Recruiting out of college - beginning of Betsy's 20-year recruitment journey. [07:05] How she ventured out alone - discussing high points and challenges. [18:31] Fostering a culture of feedback and how it elevates the quality of output. [24:19] Incorporating recruitment automation, technology, and AI. [33:35] Would you include a digital recruiter in hiring your process? [41:15] Betsy reveals their tech stack and AI trends. [47:28] The value of using note-taking AI tools. [51:52] Creating a culture of strong team collaboration. Incorporating a Digital Recruiter in the Hiring Process Would you consider incorporating a recruitment ‘bot' in your hiring process? A lot of recruitment business owners might be apprehensive about doing so, as it poses the risk of diminishing the ‘human touch' in the process. On the other hand, Betsy's team is leveraging a "digital employee," specifically a digital recruiter, to enhance their hiring process. This AI-powered recruiter can call and chat with candidates, helping to screen large volumes of applicants more efficiently while maintaining a personalized experience. Unlike traditional chatbots or automated emails, this digital recruiter has a live voice and engages in real conversations, making it feel more human-like. Some of the outlined advantages of this investment include: Speed & Efficiency – The digital recruiter can process large volumes of candidates quickly, helping the team sift through hundreds of applicants without delays. Candidate Engagement – One of the biggest complaints in recruitment is ghosting—candidates never hearing back from employers. A digital recruiter ensures consistent communication, so candidates stay informed. 24/7 Availability – Unlike human recruiters who work business hours, the digital employee can operate around the clock, allowing candidates to engage at their convenience—whether during a lunch break or late at night. Tech Stack and AI Trends Betsy and I also talked about the tech stacks they are using and the recent trends in technology that recruiters can use to either improve and simplify their processes, improve candidate and client engagement, and manage performance and KPIs for their employees. We have listed below some tools that you may already be familiar with or others you might consider exploring: Applicant Tracking & CRM Systems Loxo – Legacy ATS/CRM system Tracker – New ATS & CRM for front/middle office operations with better API integrations AI-Powered Communication Tools CloudCall – AI-driven text and voice communication for candidate and client interactions. Digital Recruiters (AI Recruiters) – AI-powered virtual recruiters that conduct initial screenings via calls and chats. Note-Takers & Meeting Assistants Otter.ai – AI-powered transcription and meeting summarization. Fathom – AI note-taking with advanced meeting insights. Fireflies – AI transcription, summarization, and team collaboration. Copilot (Microsoft) – AI assistant for Teams meetings and documentation. Quill – AI-driven note-taking tool specifically for recruiters. Gong – AI-powered call analysis and coaching for sales and recruiter conversations. AI-Driven Data Management & Automation VMS Integrations – Automates job order creation and updates within the ATS. AI-Powered Contact Management – Automatically updates candidate and client contact information. AI for Remote Team Collaboration & Coaching AI Call Coaching (via GPT or Gong) – Analyzes recruiter and sales calls for performance improvement. Remarkable (Digital Notepad) – Converts handwritten notes to digital format for easy CRM integration. These tools collectively enhance efficiency, automation, and candidate engagement in recruitment businesses. Creating a Culture of Strong Team Collaboration Despite being tech-heavy, Betsy and her team still invest in ensuring that their connection and culture as a team is as collaborative as can be. With a team of 30, mostly working remotely, seamless collaboration and teamwork are essential. This is how she summarizes their collaboration: “We, I will say, first of all, we welcome all ideas. It doesn't matter if you are someone who's been on our team for one week or someone who's been on our team for one year or you've been our first employee who's been here 10 years. Everybody brings unique at different perspective perspectives. And I would say we are much more collaborative in our decision-making.” She also added the value of transparency: “We also communicate to the best of our ability the why behind a lot of our decisions that we're making.” Lastly, she emphasized the value of accountability: “So we're also working on a culture of, you know, pure accountability.” The key factors are critical in Betsy's successful culture-building. Do you have similar values in terms of your business culture? Betsy Robinson Bio and Contact Info Betsy Robinson is the Founder & CEO of Tier4 Group.

Take a look at your tech stack. It needs some cleaning, right? Spring is weeks away, but Daniel's already thinking about spring cleaning: decluttering your tech stack should be at the top of your list. It cuts dead weight, makes things more efficient, and saves money in general. What are you using? What are you NOT using? Take some inventory of what's going on and what you can consolidate. Plus, many teams are running multiple automation tools when you really only need one. Which one should you ditch? And, your tech stack shouldn't just work for TODAY. Think about the future. When you scale, will your stack follow? Or will you need to move to something else? What your team says about the tools also has a ton of weight on these decisions. If you're looking to clean some things up, this is the episode for YOU.

The co-branded credit card space is a mature market. Chase and American Express have large deals with airlines and hotels as well as the likes of Amazon and Disney. These are typically huge programs with not just millions but tens of millions of customers. But what about those Fortune 500 companies that are not big enough for Chase or Amex but still want to do their own co-branded credit card? That is where Imprint comes in.My next guest on the Fintech One-on-One podcast is Daragh Murphy, the CEO and Founder of Imprint. Daragh realized that the bank technology being used to power the co-branded card space was decades old and inflexible. He saw the opportunity to build a new tech stack to provide a much better experience for large brands. And they didn't take any shortcuts to get there.In this podcast you will learn:What first brought Daragh from Ireland to the U.S. and why he stayed here.How he landed on the idea of co-branded credit cards.The hardest part about building a credit card company.How granular they can get with their rewards program.Why Chase and Amex only have a limited number of co-branded programs.The size of company that Imprint is looking to partner with.Why they do no outbound marketing whatsoever.Why a typical billion dollar company shouldn't do a co-branded card program.How they were able to get started when dealing with large enterprises as a startup.How they embed the Imprint technology into their clients' app.The thought process we went through when choosing their bank partner.How long it took them to build their own credit card platform.How they are getting their card to the top of wallet.Why they decided to build a call center themselves.How they have deployed AI into their customer support.What is next for Imprint.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Episode Description: In this episode, I break down why your tech stack might be simpler than you think. Whether you're currently running your business straight from your inbox or drowning in a sea of disconnected tools, I'll show you how to build the essential foundation you actually need.I share the real talk about why the transition from $5k to $15k months is such a crucial turning point in your business systems. Most entrepreneurs I work with hit this wall around $8-10k months - that's when you realize manually managing everything isn't sustainable anymore, but you also don't need 40 different tools to scale.You'll learn:Why more tools doesn't equal better systems (and when to keep it simple vs. when to upgrade)The four core tech foundations every $15k month business needsHow to avoid the common mistake of choosing tech before having systems in placeMy grocery store analogy for tech shopping (because we've all made the mistake of shopping hungry without a list!)Plus, I get real about why revenue can be a helpful indicator of your systems needs - not because of the money itself, but because it tells me how much you've got on your plate and whether you're ready to refine your processes.Resources from this episode: Free Tech Stack ChecklistConnect with Sam:Website: https://www.systemswithsam.com/services Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/systemswithsam/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samwhiz/

Many MSPs are focused on how to integrate AI into their own operations—cybersecurity, automation, efficiency—but Joe Rojas argues that's only part of the equation. “The real opportunity,” he says, “is helping clients implement AI to improve their business—and monetizing that service.” Rather than just managing a client's IT infrastructure, MSPs should actively introduce AI-driven solutions that help clients increase productivity, streamline operations, and scale without increasing headcount. For example, an MSP specializing in accounting firms could implement AI-powered bookkeeping, allowing firms to serve more clients with the same staff. The Key to Success: Industry Specialization Rojas emphasizes that MSPs must focus on a specific vertical to truly deliver AI solutions that matter. “It's nearly impossible for an MSP to be a trusted advisor across 25 industries,” he explains. Instead, MSPs should choose a niche, build expertise, and then expand strategically once they dominate that space. Understanding Client Needs Through Strategic Business Reviews To uncover real business challenges, MSPs must move beyond traditional technical QBRs (Quarterly Business Reviews) and conduct Strategic Business Reviews (SBRs) that focus on business goals, not just IT performance. Start Grow Manage provides a free SBR template to help MSPs walk clients through this process, identify pain points, and offer AI-driven solutions that add measurable business value. Overcoming the Fear of Change Many MSPs hesitate to introduce new services to existing clients, fearing disruption to a steady revenue stream. But Rojas warns that complacency is risky: “If an industry specialist comes in and solves a business problem your client didn't even know they had, you could lose that customer overnight.” To remain competitive, MSPs must proactively deliver business solutions, making them indispensable partners rather than just IT providers. How Start Grow Manage Helps MSPs Adapt Start Grow Manage provides step-by-step guidance for MSPs to: Identify a profitable niche Research industry-specific AI solutions Develop messaging that resonates with target clients Position themselves as trusted advisors in their vertical Learn More For MSPs looking to implement these strategies, Start Grow Manage is hosting a free training event.
