In the spirit of Knowledge Sharing

Please check out the 2nd edition of our Marketplaces and PlatformEconomy meetup happening tomorrow.

Amazon and eBay aren't the only relevant marketplaces, especially if you would like to strengthen your position in certain regions. Therefore we are taking a look at

- Netherlands/NL: bol.com

- Poland/PL: Allegro

- Germany/DE: Otto.de

We're planning to provide an overview of their special characteristics and specific opportunities.

Moreover, we will also dive into into private_label selling on Amazon.

Diversity: opportunity and challenge when building organizations | PAP#039

With Meera Innes, Founder Helpline, Startup Mom and Diversity Evangelist

At Project A Ventures we are not yet a level of diversity we would like to be. But we are seriously working at it. In this podcast, Meera Innes and Rainer Berak talk about specific measures on how to increase the level of diversity in a startup organization.

Very happy about our investment in Copenhagen based Dixa

https://dixa.com - enabling a seamless, cross-channel customer service experience

This investment fits very well our thesis that happy and thus returning direct customers are key to thrive in a platform, GAFA-dominated economy. For a more detailed reasoning behind this investment please check out Andreas Helbig's post (http://bit.ly/2Igb4bU) or the corresponding article on Techcrunch: https://tcrn.ch/2E6zpwJ Please PM me if you would like to find our more about the company. Dixa has already a very impressive roster of clients.

We talked with Arno Klare

Glad to see that Arno Klare, member of the German Bundestag, is also acknowledging that we have to change the way we look at and shape mobility. We talked to him recently at our event about the future of mobility that we hosted together with AZOWO GmbH (interview is in German).

"Den Reibach machen künftig nicht die Autobauer"

“Ex-Rocket-Internet-Chef Florian Heinemann warnt vor einer Degradierung der deutschen Autobauer zu simplen Hardware-Lieferanten des Silicon Valley. Eine aktuelle Studie der Unternehmensberatung Bain gibt ihm Recht.”

Congrats to diconium!

Congrats to diconium/the team and congrats to Daniel Grözinger / Parklane Capital for facilitating this transaction!

I think it is a smart move of Volkswagen to increase the level of digital competence/skills not only organically, but to accelerate this development through acquisitions. Hopefully, we will see more of this kind of transactions in the near future #digitaltransformation #digitalcompetence #digitization
