In dieser Episode tauchen wir in die Welt der Marktplatzmodelle ein und analysieren, wie Netzwerkeffekte Unternehmen wie Airbnb einen nachhaltigen Wettbewerbsvorteil verschaffen. Unser Gast Mathias Ockenfels, General Partner von Speedinvest teilt seine Erfahrungen aus dem Bereich Early-Stage-Investitionen und erklärt, warum ein starkes Team und eine klare Markteintrittsstrategie entscheidend sind. Mathias hat mit Speedinvest einen dedizierten Fund für Marketplaces über die letzten Jahre etabliert. Wir sprechen über das „Chicken-and-Egg-Problem“ bei Marktplätzen, beleuchten Fallstudien wie Zalando und CoachHub und diskutieren, wie künstliche Intelligenz die Zukunft von Marktplätzen beeinflusst. Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick auf aktuelle Trends und Veränderungen in der Marktplatzlandschaft. Die Aufnahme entstand im September 2024.

Björn's goal was to become rich. Because money seemed to him to be the key to feeling free. In his early 30s, he achieved his goal and sold at approximately 300M to the Henkel Group, earning him millions. But his life went off the rails during these years: he cheated on his partner and turned to drugs. Then he gets to know Breathwork, learns breathing techniques - and develops a new plan for his future. This conversation was held with Björn Keune and his Co-Founder Pete Byrne from ReallyAlign. We recorded after a 60-min breathwork session in Berlin.
