In this episode of Deep Tech Unleashed, host Christian Noske speaks with Philipp Roesch-Schlanderer, CEO and founder of eGym, a company bringing health and fitness into the digital age about one of the biggest questions deep tech founders face: choosing a business model that delivers real, long-term value to customers and investors.
Topics covered include:
What the ‘rock star’ companies of the future will look like
Why AI makes hardware more important than ever
Hardware as your ‘moat’ and key to defensibility, even if it isn’t the majority of your revenue
Operational rigor and the dangers of being overly fluid just because you’re growing fast
The real meaning of ‘efficiency’ and ‘accountability’
How to know when when you’re creating value rather than just making money
When to work in parallel and when to work sequentially
Why ‘no’ doesn’t necessarily mean you’re wrong, it might just mean you’re talking to the wrong people
