Speaker & Coach
Ruth Cremer
One thing led to another. Mathematician, former investment manager, university lecturer, advisor of “Die Höhle der Löwen” (German Shark Tank): My passion for innovation and startups led me to work with far more than 1000 of them - and also many investors - all over the world. I strive for excellence and sustainable growth, not superficial show effect and empty promises.

And Carsten Maschmeyer made the deal at a valuation that still corresponded to a multiple of a good 500. Do founders and lions need maths tuition themselves?

Better be Bold: The fine line of self-presentation #DHDL
Many founders find it difficult not to openly communicate the weaknesses of their business, as things like SWOT analysis are still taught as the non-plus-ultra of management, especially in traditional business studies programmes.
