Always asked myself, if I can be happy …always? As an entrepreneur you are in the natural habit of optimizing all aspects of a project so why don’t optimize your life? After many years of learning about what makes us happy, I think it is only a transient state. But maybe we can feel even better … when we are in Flow! Flow is the state of consciousness in which we forget space and time, are maximally happy, motivated and efficient. In this state, we feel our best and achieve the most. What do we need to achieve this flow? Why is it so important for founders and managers? I talk about this in the podcast with editor Elena Todeva Listen in and share your best flow moments. #flow #flowmoment #success #performance #motivation #alignment #leadership #newwork #startup #vc #entrepreneurship

💪Empowering Founders: Navigating the Complexities of Financing (I enjoyed talking about this with Für-Gründer.de!)😍 As a passionate advocate for founders, I find immense joy in supporting them on their entrepreneurial journeys. Too often, we neglect to pause and reflect on the profound ramifications of the decisions we make, particularly regarding financing. Choosing the right form of financing isn't just about securing capital; it's about understanding the broader implications for the cap table, founders, team dynamics, branding, and the pace of growth. Each decision carries its own set of opportunities and challenges that must be carefully considered. From bootstrapping to venture capital, each financing option shapes the trajectory of a startup in unique ways. By understanding these nuances, founders can make informed decisions that align with their long-term vision and values. Let's engage in meaningful conversations that delve into the intricacies of financing, ensuring that every choice empowers founders to build resilient and impactful ventures. Together, let's navigate the complexities and pave the way for success. #FounderSupport #FinancingStrategies #EntrepreneurialJourney #startup #entrepreneurship #venturecapital @ XAnge

🇩🇪 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆’𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲? 💶   At first glance, it is striking that the total sum of Germany’s special funds (€ 969 billion) is 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗲 this year’s federal budget (€ 477 billion). Most of the special fund’s volume is loan-financed: In other words, 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘁 (€ 780 billion) instead of equity (€ 89 billion).   𝗖𝗗𝗨/𝗖𝗦𝗨 & 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗶𝗻   Although the traffic light coalition must face the political consequences of the excessive special funds use now, it was the CDU/CSU in the 1950s who committed the actual original sin. 21 of the currently still active 29 special funds (72%) have been passed by a CDU/CSU-led government. More than a third originates from the 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗮 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗹 𝗲𝗿𝗮.   𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴   The improper use of not fully utilized funds from the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the CDU/CSU Fraktion to file a constitutional suit: With success. From November 15, 2023, the federal government attempts to close the fiscal gap resulting by the ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court. As of now, there are two options for the use of special funds left. The first option is to get a 𝘁𝘄𝗼-𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲 in the Deutscher Bundestag, which has already worked with the 'Sondervermögen Bundeswehr'. The second option is to exclusively use the 𝘆𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 from existing or new specials funds. As an example, the 'Sondervermögen Generationenkapital' can be mentioned here.   In a nutshell, the use of special funds has become much more challenging and makes other options more likely. Over the next few weeks, PIVOT Regulatory will continue analyzing several options on a case-by-case basis in terms of 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 and 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 how Germany can adopt a compliant fiscal budget in 2025.

Last month, we were proud to host our first CFO Dinner in Berlin. It was a relaxed evening full of engaging conversations, with no set agenda which allowed us to dive into a multitude of topics ranging from CFO-specific (funding, systems and hiring trends) to broader financial topics, e.g. being at the forefront during the financial crisis but also personal anecdotes about growing up vs. settling in Germany. We were thrilled with the positive feedback from our guests, lots of whom expressed interest in a follow-up. Here's just a few quotes: "I particularly enjoyed the quality of the attendees and thought the dinner setting was conducive to having quality and entertaining conversations. You also picked a really nice restaurant. " "It was quite nice overall to be able to talk without having a presentation or similar which sometimes is not that relevant for all participants." "The most interesting topics for me were people discussing their work cultures, attempts to incentivise people back to the office and how as CFOs everyone sees you as the generalist problem solver for the whole business." A big thank you to everyone who joined us! Already looking forward to the next one.

Interesting (quantitative) study on the topic of hybrid work. In an A/B test, trip.com randomly divided 1600 employees into different working groups: one group working 5 days in the office, the other one working 3 days in the office with 2 days working from home. The company then held extensive performance reviews every 6 months and measured, among other things, employee productivity and satisfaction. The result after 2 years: No differences in productivity, ratings or promotions between the groups. BUT: Hybrid working led to more satisfaction and 35% fewer resignations (and in result among others significant cost savings in re-hiring), especially among women! Thanks Christopher (Seatti) for surfacing this Harvard Business Review article. #hybridwork

Start-ups in Europe: a light at the end of the tunnel - finally!    This article by Nadine Schimroszik in Handelsblatt gives reason for hope for the tech ecosystem, as it summarises a development that has been tentatively emerging for some time: The number of new #start-ups in Germany is growing again, by 17 per cent, as shown by a comparison of the first quarter of 2024 with the same quarter of the previous year.   💡It is particularly interesting to see that most investments are being made in AI. An unmistakable sign that they continue to be a driver of innovation for the German startup ecosystem.   We recently came to a similar conclusion with my team, as part of our analysis of the German startup landscape. Our conclusion: more and more funding are being mobilised for ♻️ #Greentech business ideas that are based on AI-based technologies and have a positive impact on our planet.
