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.

I would like to introduce you to my Business Coach for 2024, Kenda Laney. We talk about the 4 buyer types and how understanding these can boost marketing and sales outcomes.

We tied these buyer types to real-world examples in the wedding industry, explaining how understanding these varying customer profiles can help businesses tailor their marketing and sales approaches for improved results. We stressed the importance of content creation that speaks to all types of buyers and guides them through the buying process.

This episode dives into the importance of using Instagram strategically as a wedding professional to fill your lead funnel. Rather than viewing Instagram as a gallery for pretty photos that requires random posting, it should be utilized as a powerful sales tool to constructively engage with potential clients who are researching vendors. My discussion covers multiple strategies including reframing your mindset, optimizing your profile to stand out, always sell without sounding overly promotional, and utilizing the chatbot automation called Many Chat to engage with potential clients. The goal is to create a purposeful Instagram strategy that funnels engaged followers into paying clients. ========================= EPISODE SHOW NOTES BLOG: https://brandeegaar.com/227 ========================= JOIN THE WEDDING PRO CEO ACCELERATOR!!!
