Celebrating Success: Female Mentorship Program Finale 🎉 On Monday, we had the pleasure of hosting the culmination of our Female Mentorship Program. It was an inspiring evening filled with reflection, connection, and empowerment. We celebrated the achievements and growth of all participants. An engaging panel discussion featured Theodora B. from SheLeads and one of our mentees Franziska Harzheim who offered valuable insights from their own experience in the business and Startup world. This program has been a testament to the power of mentorship in fostering female leadership and professional development. We're incredibly proud of all our mentees and grateful to our dedicated mentors. Looking forward to seeing the continued success and impact of our participants.

🌟 Insights from Philipp Klöckner's Keynote: Beyond the AI Hype 🌟 🔍 AI Adoption & Market Trends Deloitte and Accenture are leading in AI adoption. AI significantly improves customer service, with Zoom automating 90% of tasks. AI is transforming the workforce, as seen with Klarna reducing jobs and workload. The AI market is projected to reach $1 trillion by 2031, with AI revenue growing faster than SaaS. 🧠 AI Capabilities & Challenges AI demonstrates high intelligence, scoring 120 on Norway’s Mensa IQ test, but developing AI models is costly. Apple aims to create an accessible AI model. ♻️ Energy & Sustainability Concerns AI's high energy consumption poses sustainability issues, with frequent data center construction and high power demands for GPUs. Stable energy access is crucial for AI development. 🤖 AI & Human Interaction AI is becoming more empathetic, as seen with Med-PaLM enhancing emotional intelligence in healthcare. 💡 Industry Insight Leading tech founders, such as Bernard Arnault, often have engineering backgrounds rather than business education. Thank you, Pip, for sharing your expertise and insights with us. #AIInnovation #FutureOfAI #TechTrends #AIInsights #DigitalTransformation #SustainableAI #AILeadership

🌟 Fundraising 101 for Founders from Lubomila Jordanova 🌟 We recently had the privilege of hearing Lubomila Jordanova share her wisdom on fundraising at Road to START Summit 2025. Here are some key takeaways: 🔍 Pick Investors Wisely: Choose partners who offer strategic value, not just capital. The right fit is crucial. ⚠️ Know the Cost of Risk: Major events, like the $300B California fire, underscore the need for planning and risk mitigation. Anticipate challenges and prepare early. 💡 Justify Daily Decisions: Investors care about execution. Show how daily operations drive long-term value beyond financial returns. 👥 Prioritize People: Fundraising goes beyond numbers. Team dynamics are vital. A strong, motivated team attracts investors. Thank you, Lubomila, for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. #Entrepreneurship #Fundraising #StartupSuccess #Leadership #TeamDynamics #RTSS #RoadtoSTARTSummit
