あらすじ・解説
In this episode of the Digitalconomics Podcast, I sit down with Antoine Leboyer, Managing Director Venture Lab for Software and Artificial Intelligence at Technical University of Munich. Antoine shares his interesting journey, starting at Harvard Business School, working at IBM, and eventually helping over 100 startups in Munich’s thriving tech ecosystem. We dive into the role of TUM Venture Labs, where Antoine and his team guide AI and software founders. He talks about the key traits every successful startup team needs — a developer, a business person, and a product manager — and stresses the importance of being adaptable, open to feedback, and moving fast. Antoine also explains the importance of getting your product to market quickly, rather than striving for perfection, and how crucial it is to build strong, resilient teams. He shares valuable insights into the venture capital process, advising that startups should raise funds when they have a clear path for growth, not just for product development. We also discuss the challenges of scaling in Europe’s fragmented markets and why startups need to think globally from the start.
