Here are my learnings from the last B2B event where some B2B startup founders shared their experience and learnings in a friendly environment hosted by SAP and organized by B2B Berlin:
1- Gero Decker, General Manager at SAP Signavio:
- Building AI products brings new unknown challenges, which leads to changes in the way we used to structure our product teams and development #processes
- #Sustainability should remain a strong focus using AI and there are a lot more works to be done in this area
2- 🇺🇦 Dr. Anna Lukasson-Herzig, Founder and CEO of nyris GmbH:
- As a founder, never go out of the sales team
- Working from the home country is beneficial, but working from a vacation trip doesn't work
- Take the cheapest (VC) you can and take as much as you can
- No guts no glory
3- Sven Przywarra, Co-Founder and CEO of LiveEO:
- Take out processes that are not working (ASAP)
- Don't replicate; get inspired and invent
- Start with building network
- Hire multipliers vs single contributers
- Communicate values and goals
4- Alexander Müller, Founder and Managing Director of Workist:
- Try to sell your product three times before building it
- Always first sit down with customers
- Nobody expects perfection
- Building a startup takes time... Iterate, iterate, iterate
- Be ready to disrupt yourself, always
Thanks to Greg Greenberger and other B2B Berlin organisers.
