🚗🏁 A Thrilling Day at the Track with TREMEC x Plug and Play Tech Center! We had the incredible opportunity to host the TREMEC x Plug and Play Tech Center Innovation Day at the iconic M1 Concourse in Detroit, where innovation, technology, and mobility collided in the best way possible! The event brought together industry leaders, startups, and innovators to explore the future of mobility. From TREMEC’s groundbreaking vehicle propulsion systems showcased in ride-along sessions to trailblazing startups like Torev Motors, Scalvy Inc., and Marel Power Solutions, Inc., the energy and excitement were palpable. We were honored to welcome insights from Jeffrey Nichols, Eric Blumbergs, Dante Crockett, and Matthew Memmer, who shared their expertise on advancing mobility and technology. The day wouldn’t have been the same without their valuable contributions! A big thank you goes to Johannes Rott, Vice President at Plug and Play, who led our panel discussions about Driving Innovation: Enhancing Mobility Through Advanced Solutions. Behind every successful event is a great team, and we want to give a shout out to Logan Azelton who kicked off the event with a presentation about what Plug and Play is all about, Carlos Alvarado who stepped up to the stage as our Emcee for the event, and the rest of the team who made all this possible Vic Estrada, Nishant Dixit, Emma Gran, and Ava Milana—your hard work made all the difference in making this event a success! And of course, the M1 Concourse offered the perfect venue for this event. With its impressive track and top-notch facilities, it created an electrifying atmosphere that elevated the entire experience. Together, we’re pushing the boundaries of innovation, and this is only the beginning! 🚀 #InnovationDay #MobilitySolutions #PlugandPlay #AutomotiveTech #TREMEC #Detroit #Startups #FutureOfMobility #Innovation #Networking

While delivering autonomy to vehicles by 15+ startups, I spoke with 100+ founders and team members of startups building in a domain where they are competing with large organisations. Best ones make their own markets. They use innovation in technology and business to pave their way. The ones that worry about beating large organisations and competition are the first ones to shut shop. Over time, we have created filters for deciding whom we work with.

Last week I was invited by Alexander Fries and Patrick Blumenthal to lead a workshop about what foundations to build as a startup to successfully master the Go-To-Market stage. The startups came from all over the world and InnoQube Switzerland brought them all to an absolute scenic mountain cabin in the Swiss Alps. The four main mistakes we see over and over again when entering the GTM Stage are: 1️⃣ Not knowing or measuring your Product-Market fit 2️⃣ No clear focus on an Ideal Customer Profile / Niche market 3️⃣ As a logical result: Not having a good message-market fit and low converting channels 4️⃣ Not choosing the correct GTM-Model for your ICP and hence building an unprofitable business from the very start Wondering how to solve that? Comment "Slides" below and make sure you're connected so I can share the slides with you. Thank to InnoQube Switzerland for having me and looking forward to the results of the upcoming demo day!🚀 #Startups #Innovation #SwissAlps #Graubünden
