Playground 🛝’s Post

Good news to start the week: we're hosting a meetup at the Sifted Summit on October 4/5 to discuss the tech world 'post-unicorns'. Come join us! Sifted are bringing together 3000 of startup Europe's tech people under one roof in London and in our fishbowl meet-up, we'll pick up from last year's roundtable conversation between John Thornhill and Johannes Lenhard on 'the end of the unicorn age'. 🦓 We will be joined by founders, investors, asset owners and academics to talk about the bubble(s), tech's next mascot animal (the Zebra?) and the ecosystem's next economic cycle. In the spirit of this years' event theme (New Rules), we'll kick things off with a fishbowl forum to ask if unicorns aren’t real, what is? We will touch on impact, ESG, DEI and the 'new' reality that is coming together in Europe in particular. The format will be very interactive. 🎟 If you haven't snapped up a ticket yet, Sifted are offering 10% off for the VentureESG community: use the code 'VESG10' when you sign up here: https://t.ly/r_lO3

EXOSOMM went all the whey to Plug and Play… Another dairy good presentation was made for us by our USA representative, Alon Ben-Shoshan🕺 🥛 About our appearance at the incredible platform that the Plug and Play Tech Center hosts: ► It’s the largest innovation platform in the world that unifies startups, investors, and blue-chip corporations. ► EXOSOMM was selected to participate in the ‘Food and Beverage Program’  - this program focuses on tech behind farm-to-table processes and innovations. ► This was after a 3-month accelerator program that elevated our startups through corporate business development, networking and pitch events, world-class mentorship, and the potential for investment. ► This was Plug and Play’s biggest event of the year, putting all 15 of their 3-month programs on display. There were 250+ startups present and a harvest table’s worth of heavy-hitters in the audience! After giving our pitch, enjoying the pitches of the other startups, and basking in the camaraderie of collaboration and innovation so present at this event, we got to unwind. Alon enjoyed kicking back at the The Mountain Winery (no milk was drunk here 😉)! Here’s to another successful showcasing of how we’ve harnessed the power of milk… Cheers! 🥛 #PlugandPlaySummit #SiliconValleyTech #FoodIndustryDisruption #NetworkingEvents

I will be talking to Michael Langguth (Carbon13's CSO and Co-founder) and two scientific co-founders, Natalija Stepurko, and Koustubh Dube, about their entrepreneurial journey from lab to venture start-up - with Carbon13 HOW SCIENTISTS CAN JOIN ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTION AND CREATE DE-CARBONISING VENTURES TO MITIGATE THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY WED | NOV 08, 2023 | 01.00 PM - 02.00 PM BERLIN TIME  https://lnkd.in/ePnVjPd9 From Lab to Venture Scientists are an important component in alleviating or even overcoming the climate crisis. Their research findings and vast knowledge are often ideally suited to build effective climate tech solutions from scratch. We show examples where scientists have decided to take the entrepreneurial path to really move the needle and hear about adaptation difficulties and new perspectives on business development. Through Carbon13’s programmes, founders are supported at all stages of the start-up development, from the very beginning of ideas and co-founder teaming, through to pre-seed investment and scale. Unlike traditional accelerators, with Carbon13 each start-up is pushed to achieve our minimum target of emissions mitigation potential of 10 million tonnes of CO2e per year when at scale. You’re welcome to join us and our speakers, Carbon13 co-founders and entrepreneurs!

The next stage of wireless connectivity !

I was just in Las Vegas these past days to meet with one of Sig2 Labs' investors to plan the path to our next round of funding, and discuss key functionality as the "painkiller" to inefficient communication in the field. While flying in, I admired the landscape from above, noticing how a situation looks so different with altitude. Perspective over perception. You can be in a desert - with all the metaphoric meanings you may give it - and with perspective from the right altitude you see where there's water - plenty of it. The means to build and grow. I'm convinced that solutions naturally reveal themselves from how we frame a problem. The water reveals its location once you have sufficient elevation to see your situation more completely. #startupfounder #startupfunding #startupjourney #resources #investorconfidence #forwardtogether
