Innovation and Investment - Can Cats and Dogs Be Friends?

There are countless slogans that people like to use both in the startup scene and in the world of investors. Nevertheless, it is often difficult to communicate, or one side does not understand the other. Therefore, it is wise not to get lost in the jungle of buzzwords. 

Through the example of my former and current companies, I would like to explain my entrepreneurial and innovative strategy. Visions are important, but the knowledge of the market and the needs of the industry are even more important. And then we have to talk about timing, which is crucial. And the role of communication - with employees, investors or customers - must not be forgotten. In the end, it's also the luck factor that counts, which you as an innovative entrepreneur absolutely need.
