Episode Synopsis

Dr. Tobias Reichmuth (Investor / Dragon's Den Switzerland) shares his experiences on: Once your company starts growing, there will be the point when you as a founder have to ask yourself: What do I enjoy more: Building OR operating the company? Also, make sure you choose your investors wisely: Look out for the "Smart Money". What you get:

00:00 Welcome To Interview

00:49 How To CEO? Dr. Tobias Reichmuth has been in the position of an entrepreneur, that at some point gave the operational management to another set of hands. Many founders are not willing to do that due to ‘EGO’ reasons or trust issues. But that may be wrong for the long-term success of a company.  

06:20: Smart Money vs. Stupid Money: Founders need to choose their investors wisely. Most are just happy to get any money for their start up. But that’s not good enough. The better strategy is to look for ‘smart money’ right from the start! Smart investors bring money AND expertise they are willing to share with the young founders. 

15:30: 3 Key Learnings For Founders: Be transparent and tell people your idea. Not a soul is going to steal it; just the opposite people may give you great advise and help you! Plus, don’t be stingy with giving out shares. The bigger an investor’s stake in your company is, the higher the willingness to help it grow and prosper, Dr. Reichmuth believes.
