The #MakerZone | Fintech & Corporate Innovation Podcast: Recent Episodes
David Bruno
Your not-so-average fintech, future of wealth management & corporate innovation podcast with head of innovation at the world's largest wealth manager, SuperDave Bruno.
Oliver Freigang, co-founder Qashqade is the only person I know who exited a corporate startup from one of the world’s largest banks for a $nine-figure number and lived to tell the tale. Founders like this are a special breed, having transcended the corporate minefield and brought their own personal leadership up to an industry level.
Qashqade is the digital backbone for fund managers to compute extremely complex carry, waterfall and valuation models 100% accurately. This team regularly find million-dollar errors in their very first client test, ones the audit firms missed. As a fund manager, you should care about getting this right since your paycheck and business model depends on it.
My prediction: Qashqade will blow up because of 1. a focused, experienced founding team, 2. a great product the market is pulling for, and 3. the right timing as the private investment industry explodes this decade.
Red Planet Ventures is a private accelerator for founders that secures angel investment, validates product-market fit and exits to Series A in 18-24 months.
If you’re launching any type of new business in 2021:
✅ You can write a Book
✅ You can get on Webinars
✅ You can do a TED Talk
💰💰But it’s about how you use that content to engage and promote your network that leads to doing actual business.
Today’s episode features Bryan Mattimore Co-Founder @Growth Engine with the secrets to business growth hacking using your original thought leadership as a toolset to generate sales.
Bryan says, Two valid reasons to write a book are:
👩🏼🏫 I want to share original thought leadership
👩🏽💻 I want to scale my contribution to exponentially more people
Two tips on the book-writing process are:
📢 Write 35 articles and sign a publisher
🎧 Cover a diverse set topics that can become your eventual customer services
He also says Be open-source, actively seek partners and mix up skills. Do not worry about your own intellectual property. “The more IP you share and thought leadership you get out there, the more work you’re going to have.”
“Covid will be seen a great creative renaissance.” Where people took the time at home to write down their thought leadership and this will propel us for decades to come.
“Solving Impossible Business Challenges” is the next book coming-soon from Bryan Mattimore so be sure to follow him on LinkedIn for news.
By David Bruno, Venture Partner at Red Planet Venture, we help 1st-time founders secure angel funding ($150-750k) and create demand for product sales.

No matter where you stand on gun safety, gun control, gun violence or guns in general, this article presents some fresh thinking material, by addressing an intractable societal problem through the neutral lens of technology. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with David Noble, Director of UConn Werth Institute for Innovation and Co-Founder at GunClear. This team founded out of UConn’s innovation space envisions a world in which we actually have privacy in the internet. To them, GunClear is even bigger than gun safety. It is about personal privacy and freedom.

How to start a Startup from inside a Corporation: Staying Positive! | #MakerZone EP.51
In 2016 senior insurance executive Kai Kunze was told he was part of the past and would have to seek another job. By 2018 he was being called startup hero and CEO of the future company. What happened in only two years that could make such a personal turnaround possible? Kai's story is one of positivity, of staying ahead of change, and ultimately of forming a talented team and listening very carefully to customers to create an entirely new market for one of the world's oldest products. Here are Kai's key lessons learned in building Lings, the fastest-growing insurance company in Switzerland.
Here's the truth: Corporations can be a fantastic source of innovation and startups. It's the job of senior management to strip away layers of complexity, blockers, politics and to create a safe environment culturally to unlock that potential. Your talented people will shine through and do the rest for you!
Today I am joined by Marcel Holdener, Head IT Innovation & Digital and Henrik Czurda, Head Bank driven Innovation, both at SIX Group. Their views crystallise the key things FinTech founders need to know about working with banks and choosing which cloud services to use for what parts of their business. .

EP.48 Should you Startup a Business as a Couple?⎜#MakerZone
They met in France They moved to Poland They started a business They got engaged They traveled the world They lived for months in a van All while running a business …What Happened Next?
I don’t know exactly when "Couples Who Do Startups" got to be a thing but it seems to be pretty commonplace. Today’s episode explores the phenomenon - Are Startups a warmup to kids? What titles should you give each other? How (or should you even) separate business and personal life? This and more with a young couple who lived through the highs and lows and survived it: Together.
To All Startup Founders! At some point you will be on a stage and have to make a "pitch". This is not a "presentation" as you learned in school or see on TEDx talks, its a sales opportunity. You need to understand who is sitting there, what their organization and personal goals are - and directly make a pitch to them to do something specific that you've thought through / researched beforehand. Here's how to win that next sales meeting - in only 6 minutes. . My name is David Bruno. I create jobs by building new companies. I currently work at SIX (Swiss Stock Exchange) as Head Company Builder and as a hands-on Coach at F10, a startup Accelerator in Zurich. I also work with nViso, an AI startup based in Switzerland with offices in US, Australia and Japan. I formerly was Head Innovation at the world's largest wealth manager. .

What's Inside: Today I explain why we don't have a Challenger Bank in Switzerland (history/culture), why its unlikely we will get a home-grown one (blockers/complacency), whether an outsider should come here (size/scale), and who it would most likely be (N26).

Banks and FinTechs are both still missing the white hot moment to capitalise on Digital - where big new platforms and value propositions are born. In today's episode I overlay the big lesson/opportunity spaces of Digital versus the most glaring omissions from a customer perspective - this helps us contrast to identify the “Greenfields" to Occupy next.

Today's session is a strategic deep-dive from a former future thinker and innovation head at one of the world's largest banks. I explain 3 major trends developing with an outlook towards 2025/2030: 1. Welcome to Zero-Marginal Cost Banking - Under pressure from GAFA and client expectations, Traditional banking product margins continue their exponential pace of downward slump to just above zero-marginal cost commodity services end-game. 2. Independent advisory will become the thing - Open Platforms and digital services fully empower Financial Advisors and Relationship Managers to operate on their own - bundling bespoke client offerings using products and services from any provider - in the best interest of their clients 3. Banking will become FREE - The most popular brands from outside banking (think Tesla, Red Bull) introduce Freemium banking services to better serve clients. They will package current account, debit card, credit card, custody and basic investing in a smart simple way, and still earn money over advertising / other services .

Getting promoted has nothing to do with doing a good job. You have to play strategically - be in the right role, do new things, and position fighters for your cause. Today's Episode is a short user-guide for motivated solid-performing employees who are seeking promotion but don't know quite how to get started. I have been on both sides of this process in the corporate world as a manager for over 20 years and was part of the inside workings of the promotion committees for several major institutions. Today's lessons are taken from those trenches of experience to fill the gaps between reading the HR intranet guidance - and getting your promotion letter next February. .

Have you ever wondered, why don't corporate's open up their incubators to the outside world and host some real start-ups? Well, that's exactly what SIX (the Swiss Stock Exchange) did in 2016. SIX recently opened its F10 accelerator to help promote and develop fintech startups from around the world but with a focus on Switzerland.

Clients see their total wealth as their businesses, real estate, aircraft, collectibles, art and family heirlooms - but bankers only want to talk about research, stock markets and trading financial instruments.
In today’s #MakerZone we have a good conversation with Douglas Azar, a fintech entrepreneur and investment advisor. This is another real-life example of how a wealth management startup (Wealthinitiative AG) is changing the game with their platform supporting top tier wealth management institutions and family offices. Wealthinitiative internally matches their clients’ requests (buying and selling) in real estate, art, passion investments and business deals.

In 2007, Apple released the iPhone without much fanfare. They have since sold over 1 billion of them. Last year, Amazon released Alexa - a smart voice-enabled speaker that was received by critics as a fad way to for people to buy more stuff from the e-comm retailer. Alexa is now pioneering voice enabled technology and Amazon has quietly sold millions of the device.
There's something very interesting happening right now which only very few know, that may scale very quickly just like the iPhone did. In this #MakerZone, you'll learn about how we in the innovation team are piloting Amazon Alexa to learn about what "skills" will be valuable in a banking context. Just how big it will get? We'll just have to wait and see.

Many in the fintech world have the notion that corporations and startups can’t mutually benefit from each other without one buying out the other. Startups are therefore reluctant to partner with larger, more established companies. In this #MakerZone we talk about dfiu.club working together with a big bank to improve client relations. Was it a successful partnership? Find out in this episode.

Ever think to yourself that ALL those other companies are ahead of your own when it comes to innovating?
Well, that's all just dead wrong.
Nobody has all that. It turns out They are just a myth. Every company I know struggles to get even the most basic pieces joined up to create innovation in their company. It results in frustrated half-entrepreneurs who think they have the "rescue" idea but will never launch it. P***ed off yet? Me too.
Today's MASSIVE content episode on how to startup innovation at your company by bridging the divide between employees with tomorrow's business model ideas and senior management whose job it is to run the current business model and maximise profits.
