once Warren intrapreneur obviously and I
[4]
went back to what I loved most coaching
[8]
young people is inner spirit helping
[11]
them to increase to develop their skills
[13]
and my edit value' is my experience my
[17]
knowledge and my network so I listen to
[20]
this I'm scouting digital and tech
[23]
trends around the world in order to
[25]
bring it to you and I have helped
[27]
numerous companies to set up ecosystems
[30]
of digital products and services and to
[33]
increase their reach with attention
[36]
hacking hey guys we are here with custom
[48]
mush Maya we are really really happy
[49]
about you here on board but also might
[53]
not learn know him the two or three is
[57]
known for his role in the German shark
[59]
tank what a lot of people don't know it
[62]
was a tremendous successful entrepreneur
[64]
and launch exits my the question firstly
[69]
why are you still building such a great
[73]
cooperation you know you have already
[76]
finances in 1988 I founded a double D
[80]
the first and later also the biggest
[83]
independent financial advisory in Europe
[86]
we expended in 11 countries we have
[89]
10,000 of wises more than 2 million
[92]
customers with 10 million contacts with
[94]
venison FTM ducks it was the German
[96]
Stock Exchange and my exit was in 2008
[101]
we achieved in 2007 more than 18 billion
[105]
top-line revenues
[106]
Swiss life is of immense biggest ensure
[109]
about my state and after that once
[114]
warrant obviously and I went back to
[119]
what I loved most
[120]
coaching young people is in it no spirit
[124]
helping them to increase
[125]
their skills and my edit value' is my
[129]
experience my knowledge and my network
[133]
but also a lot of people don't know is
[136]
that you are really deep used in the
[138]
insurance industry get worked several
[140]
decades in the transistor so that people
[143]
can also draw on that yeah I know
[145]
of course the pain and the emotional
[149]
affected customers the needs were sales
[152]
people and the importance of the
[155]
efficiency of the back office so I seen
[159]
that I have the dream insurance company
[163]
in my mind and we will not see a
[165]
revolution a lot of evolutions and I
[168]
added together when we started 10 years
[179]
ago we just invested in later stage
[183]
communities because we said the ticket
[185]
size was to no but the ticket size in
[189]
the beginning as a highest leverage
[190]
effect so we have proceeded seat with
[194]
our mushroom adventures in South Park
[197]
San Francisco we invest up to $500,000
[201]
in American TV station companies and in
[206]
Europe we have bought some capital later
[209]
stage investments average ticket size
[212]
7.5 million so we can go through all the
[216]
phases of the growth of the founders and
[220]
of his fundraising lifecycle my next
[224]
question is
[225]
kind of startups and outside insurance
[228]
are doing the respondents ways to
[230]
impress in the last few months the last
[233]
year - I was totally impressed of - yes
[236]
startups absurdly AI artificial
[239]
intelligence for four centers and
[241]
tomorrow excellent company in Europe we
[246]
are investing experience darken
[249]
documentation and the machine learns and
[252]
read whether the customer or the letter
[255]
changes his address bank account so it's
[258]
more efficiency because every startup
[261]
must have an a big advantage something
[263]
must pop faster cheaper easier for
[266]
customer or sales agents you often
[269]
emphasize how important is the team of
[272]
the founders and why is that and how do
[274]
you help these teams indeed I'm totally
[279]
convinced that the team is everything I
[282]
hate team sweet people same professor
[286]
same University I prefer complementary
[289]
teams one is very good in tech another
[293]
one must be good in planning and also
[296]
minimum one person of the founding team
[299]
must be a brilliant salesperson selling
[301]
to customers selling to cooperation
[304]
partner selling to the press selling to
[306]
investors selling to applicants because
[309]
we are in the middle of the vocal
[311]
talents and the team is everything we
[313]
help them into increasing communication
[316]
skills and sales performance because
[319]
that is so important they love or
[321]
sensible and then the cost nationally I
[324]
know that few things about sales yes
[326]
it's my biography I had nothing so I
[330]
learnt
[330]
sales and sales is everything because I
[333]
prefer
[334]
revenues than the capital increase
[336]
capital increase can't be a substitute
[339]
for less sales performance during the
[342]
last three decades you have to gather
[344]
details that inside
[346]
and um my question is what do you
[350]
recommend see some insurances today that
[353]
still hesitate to go all in some digital
[356]
transformation sometimes it's like a
[359]
catastrophe the banks were seeing they
[363]
were very late hopefully all the
[366]
insurance company will await now I think
[369]
they have to become better in pricing
[373]
underwriting Excellence
[375]
Administration optimization and they
[378]
have to get more better understanding
[381]
for data analytics for social analytics
[384]
and customer behavior and those
[387]
innovations will come from outside there
[390]
are two mistakes some insurance
[392]
companies make the mighty head
[395]
responsible for innovation over the CFO
[398]
and he is just scared not to make a
[400]
mistake that's totally wrong the impact
[403]
will come from outside out of the box
[405]
because the young people they are
[407]
looking from the other end patient large
[411]
solution-oriented and that can be
[413]
helpful but if they recognize that start
[416]
up for them and they invest or they buy
[419]
it they can do one for the big mistake
[422]
to put these people on the tanker then
[425]
you have not any more people than you
[427]
ever saw thank you again one question
[430]
the only problem is going to
[433]
no you or like google you and looking up
[435]
what you are doing and how do you manage
[437]
building and managing all
[439]
entrepreneurial activities and your
[442]
family to be honest the way I'm living
[446]
now wouldn't be possible thirty years
[449]
ago of course I use the latest
[451]
technology today it's not important
[454]
where you are and where you work so
[457]
that's enormously helpful on the other
[460]
hand I make great teams in Europe and I
[463]
see on a US team the mushroom adventures
[466]
and Salzburg and San Francisco also
[468]
capital in Munich see in Sweden booming
[471]
so you need the best teams so you can
[474]
delegate and so I have the right life
[477]
work balance and to thirty years ago
[481]
I didn't order to serve diligent I
[485]
wanted to succeed
[489]

[497]
