AFTER WORK BANTER podcast

35:36

In the latest episode of The Innovators & Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with Sam Huang, Principal at BMW iVentures, for a candid conversation to explore the dynamic intersection of venture capital, artificial intelligence, robotics, and manufacturing innovation. Sam shares BMW iVentures’ investment thesis, focusing on Series A and B startups across the US, Europe, and Israel, with a strong emphasis on AI-driven SaaS, automation, and onshoring trends driven by labor shortages and supply chain disruptions. Listeners gain valuable perspectives on the evolving venture diligence process, the importance of product-market fit, and how higher ARR benchmarks reflect both market maturity and macroeconomic factors like rising interest rates. Sam also candidly discusses his unconventional career path—from a Stanford history PhD program to law school and ultimately venture capital—highlighting how diverse experiences enhance investment acumen. The conversation delves into the benefits of corporate venture capital, especially BMW’s hands-on support and networking advantages for portfolio companies. Additionally, Sam reveals how AI is integrated internally at BMW iVentures to optimize workflow and decision-making. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of innovation, investment strategy, and the transformative impact of AI and robotics on global industries.

The life of a girl is an already scripted triangle. At teen time, she sees her period, at 21 she's out of school, at 26 she's settling down with the absolute love of her life/or to her betrothed (for the unlucky). At 27 she's popping kids and so on. **At 26, life begins for every girl. Oh! Let's not forget the pressure that comes from the background: when are you getting married? is this how you wanna cook for your husband? If only you took men as serious as your job bla bla bla. Anyway, me, at a young age, no pressure notin notin, I went to be praying for God to give me a husband. Did it work?
