At the recent Venture Leaders event, Swiss startups pitched innovative ideas to a jury, leading to Key Takeaways from the VCs on the panel:   1️⃣ Misconceptions European Founders Have Success in Europe is a great, but cracking the U.S. market requires local traction. European founders often underestimate how long it takes to get the first customer in the U.S. Only after securing those initial customers will their startup become appealing to venture capitalists (VCs) in the U.S.   2️⃣ Red Flags in Startup Evaluation A significant red flag when evaluating startups is encountering single founders. This implies that the complexities and challenges of running a startup might be underestimated, and the collaborative effort often required for success might be lacking. It’s tough for the founder to do it alone.   3️⃣ Advice repeatedly given to founders Leverage the higher valuation scales in the U.S. Start your business in Europe, then build and exit in U.S. Valuation will be twice as high.   This event not only showcased new ideas but also provided valuable strategic insights for founders looking to scale and succeed internationally. A heartfelt thank you to the judges, Spencer Greene, Alireza Masrour, Adrian Stalder for making this event a success.   A brief insight in to the 10 Venture Leaders Startups: Acodis: Transforming document processing with AI for seamless data extraction from unstructured formats.

Super pumped to share my thoughts with such an interesting panel discussion. If at all anyone of you is at Slush today lets catch up!

Welcome back from summer! EXPO2023 was just a bit over 2 months ago. With mobility leaders traveling from all over the world to Stuttgart (including South Korea, Japan, India, China, USA, Canada, Israel and of course from our neighboring EU countries) to witness real venture client collaborations projects, showing the automotive world how innovation can be boosted. It is amazing to see how some of the largest legacy corporations are transforming and pushing the message of open innovation and making corporate-startup collaboration an integral part of their innovation strategy. I am so proud of what our 30 partners and 300+ startups have been achieving in over 400 projects and at the same time having contributed to transform Stuttgart to a global hotspot for innovation. A few event stats: – 1500+ guests joined the event in-person and virtually;  – 100+ high-level speakers on stage, featuring Barbara Frenkel, Michael Hafner, Dr., Jørgen Behrens, Mathias Pillin, Saeed Amidi, Winfried Hermann, Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut, Lars Reger, Michael Corcoran, M. Gürcan Karakas, Barbara Wittenberg, Jan-Maarten de Vries and others; – 35+ startups from across the globe showcased their pilot projects and implementations; – 30+ corporate partners featuring Mercedes-Benz AG, Porsche AG, DXC Technology, Webasto Group, Schaeffler, Bosch, STMicroelectronics, Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, NXP Semiconductors and many more. Autumn will be the busiest season for mobility events, and I'm looking forward to seeing many partners, startups, and tech experts at our upcoming STARTUP AUTOBAHN powered by Plug and Play events. Coming up: Sep 5 (Munich - adjacent to IAA) Smart Mobility Meetup: Startup Pitches, Panel Discussion, Inspirational Keynotes Sep 19 "Powering the Future: Exploring Innovations in Battery Development and Production" hosted with Porsche Oct 10 "Quantum Sensing: Unleashing a New Era of Mobility Innovation!" hosted with Mercedes-Benz & Bosch 🙏 I would like to thank our corporate partners, keynote speakers, startups, the whole Plug and Play Tech Center and STARTUP AUTOBAHN powered by Plug and Play team for making this EXPO2023 one to remember!

Ready to take your mobility startup to the next level? As one of last year's participants Sherry Fei Ju, Founder and CEO of Artificient Mobility Intelligence, put it "We have been having one-on-one conversations with partners, and with some of them we are already talking about having pilot projects together. That doesn't happen every day, in every accelerator." The programme offers match-making with partners and potential customers to test your solution and facilitates an introduction to test and demonstration labs around Europe. The main focus is the challenge area “Mobility for all” and therefore the improvement of physical and geographical accessibility for a wide range of target groups, currently often underserved and non-involved passengers as well as vulnerable travellers.
