Guy Yehiav, a founder with two successful exits to his credit joined me for a conversation on life in a startup. His first company, Demantra, was acquired by Oracle. Most recently Profitect was acquired by Zebra Technologies. We discuss the importance of relationships in building a startup and how to think through the age old question of going horizontal vs. vertical initially.
I'm Jeff Roster, former #Gartner and IHL #retail sector analyst now serving on several advisory boards. My partner for this podcast is Brian Sathianathan. He's a serial entrepreneur co-founder of Iterate.ai. and Co-founder of Avot Media, where he had a successful exit. Together we will discuss the #RetailInnovation RetailStartups #Startup Strategies #RetailTrends and the #FutureOfRetail. Additionally we’ll discuss #unifiedcommerce #SocialCommerce, #ecommerce #MobileCommerce #LowCode, #MachineLearning #live-streaming, #instoretechnology, #DTC, #RFID, #SocialAudio, #LossPrevention #ComputerVision and #SupplyChain.
We’ll interview #Founders, #VC’s focused on the #retail and the #CPG space, #retailexecutives interested in innovation, #TechExecutives, #reporters, #analysts, #economists and #academics interested in #retail
We use the #5ForcesOfInnovation to frame our pod. Anybody focusing on any of these things are people we want to talk to.
Our Hypothesis:
There are 5 Forces that are driving innovation in retail and CPG. They include:
1. #ArtificialIntelligence
2. #IoT
3. #Blockchain
4. #Startups
5. #Data
We focus on four pillars.
1. The #Startup Community working in retail and CPG.
2. #Retailers involved in either #innovation on the business side or technical side.
3. #Analysts, #professors, #reporters, #economists anybody that has retail data or opinions.
4. #Charity anything that involves retailers or tech working in the retail industry
We don’t buy into the #retailapocalypse
#entrepreneurs #entrepreneurship , #retail
