1117: How Startups/Consumers are Driving Sustainable Packaging
Recycling and the necessity for greater sustainability have been top of mind for years. As climate change continues to accelerate, many feel they are doing their part by increasing their recycling efforts, especially of plastics.
However, the uncomfortable truth is that most plastics cannot be recycled and will sit in a landfill or burned. According to the Plastic Pollution Coalition, about six times more post-consumer plastic waste is burned in the U.S. than is domestically recycled. While plastic that makes it to a landfill will stay for thousands of years and may never truly disintegrate.
The convenience afforded to us by e-commerce, globalization, and plastics is destroying the planet. Consumers are wising up and choosing brands based on their commitment to sustainability. Accenture found that more than 80% of people surveyed said they felt it was "important or extremely important" for companies to design environmentally conscious products.
As we continue into 2020, this sentiment will be the driving force behind the pledge for the adoption of sustainable packaging from large corporations. However, while it is admirable to make that pledge, are large corporations truly equipped to make the switch?
As the founder and CEO of VentureFuel, a leading innovation consultancy, Fred Schonenberg joins me on the Tech Talks Daily podcast to talk about how new innovations in sustainable packaging from startups will facilitate the move to greater adoption by large corporations. We also discuss the types technology and innovations being used to create sustainable packages
For over 15 years, Fred has introduced new formats, first-to-market opportunities and is known for his award-winning creative solutions and ability to forge strategic partnerships to grow revenue. He is a frequent speaker at industry events such as SXSW, Ad Tech, Advertising Week, IAB, OMMA, and thought-leader published in everything from The Huffington Post, Business Insider, Media Post, The Drum, Tech.co, Creator Magazine, Advertising Week, Event Marketer, etc.
I also learn how VentureFuel helps established companies discover and implement new technologies that drive measurable growth. Described as "the secret weapon" to top corporate innovators, their "Excelerator" is a repeatable innovation framework that delivers consistent cutting-edge solutions with tangible results.
VentureFuel has helped over 100 established companies (Netflix, Beam Suntory, General Mills, Microsoft, Hershey's, The Chicago Cubs, etc.) discover breakthrough technologies and innovations that drove growth, competitive advantage, and tangible results such as 18.7% sales lift, over $10 million in savings and purchase intent increases of 5x.

Mattias Hjelmstedt is CEO and Founder of Utopia Music. As a serial entrepreneur, Mattias has successfully founded and sold a number of technology companies since the early 1990s. An unparalleled innovator, Mattias’s passion for combining media and tech has pushed him to help transform and build several industries including e-sports and digital TV.
Within e-sports, Mattias was one of the pioneers, designing the first social platforms for games and assisting in the creation of the software still used today to power some of the world’s largest games, including Battlefield. Unhappy with the state of the Video-on-Demand (VOD) services, Mattias was an early architect of VOD for premium film and p2p distribution.

1143-gny-launches-saas-tool-to-enable
Artificial Intelligence makes it easy to detect subtle patterns in data, enabling businesses to make more informed decisions. Using AI is a major priority for companies. However, many do not know what data they should be collecting in the first place.
GNY is launching a new SAAS tool on the AWS marketplace that enables businesses to check the AI-readiness of their data, along with support from their team to learn how they should strengthen their data. GNY is already helping businesses improve their user engagement by 100% and predicted next-day sales with 75% accuracy.
Cosmas Wong, Founder, CEO of GNY, joins me on today's edition of the Tech Talks Daily. Cosmas is a London based tech investor and entrepreneur who has been building companies for more than 20 years. He has his roots in corporate finance and private equity lawyer in London and Singapore, and has worked with large and small companies around the world.
Cosmas also has a broad background in corporate structures, business strategy, and implementation, intellectual property, and investments. He has a keen interest in innovative data-driven solutions for businesses.
In 2010, Cosmas co-founded Enso Financial Management LLP, a New York-based financial services data platform to service some of the world's largest hedge funds. Enso was eventually sold to iCap plc in 2016. Cosmas' interest in data solutions and, in particular, Artificial Intelligence and the blockchain, led him to establish Grey Jean Technologies in New York; the genesis of the GNY platform, and then GNY.IO in Jersey, UK.
We discuss how they are helping businesses unlock the hidden value in their data with a machine learning platform that is secure, affordable, and customizable. GNY is the first company to decentralize advanced machine learning software across the nodes of a blockchain - effectively using blockchain to reinforce and distribute machine-learning tools. I also learn how any business can optimize data-driven business decisions securely with machine learning, at a fraction of the cost of our competitors. Think of GNY as your plug and play machine-learning assistant. Free to download, and you only pay for what you use with our GNY and LML utility tokens.

Regular listeners will remember that I recently interviewed Adobe’s Colin Morris about how voice-based interfaces have suddenly become a significant tool for marketers. But, it’s not just voice: marketers are gravitating both to voice and text-based computer conversation (e.g. chatbots) to engage with customers.
PullString is the only company enabling conversations on Amazon Echo, Alexa Google Home, as well as text-based computer conversations on Microsoft’s Skype and Facebook’s Messenger.
As these platforms surge in popularity with consumers, PullString is seeing a similar surge in demand from companies that want to build branded chatbot experiences on these platforms.
Today's guest is Oren Jacob, and he is the CEO and co founder of Pullstring but also has a very rich history,
Steve Jobs and Ed Catmull had personally chosen Oren to lead Pixar’s internal tech team as CTO, where he worked on Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bug’s Life, and Finding Nemo.

On today's tech podcast, I chat with Francesco Baschieri, President of Voxnest and Founder of Spreaker.
Podcasting solution provider Voxnest, recently announced a partnership with DAX, the world's most sophisticated digital audio advertising platform, that will bring publishers in the UK a turn-key solution for creating, monetizing and distributing digital audio.
The deal brings together the expertise of the two companies to enable current publishers of audio content to grow audience and revenue. Additionally, the all-in-one solution will facilitate entry into the growing audio market by publishers who have yet to capitalize on the medium's increasing popularity while giving brands and advertisers the ability to connect with relevant and engaged audiences at scale.
The deal with DAX is also a continuance of Voxnest's goals to support the growth of professional podcasting and deliver value throughout the entire ecosystem. Voxnest customers, including those on the company's Spreaker platform, now have the benefit of DAX monetization, while advertisers can take advantage of advanced targeting and measurement solutions.
Global, the Media & Entertainment group, created DAX in 2014 to give advertisers access to millions of people listening to digital audio through premium publisher brands.

Pete Knowlton, Senior Director of Operations for Ghostery, rejoins me on Tech Talks Daily to discuss data tracking, specifically the new (terrifying) channel of email tracking. Pete is a privacy expert who leads US operations for Ghostery, a privacy intelligence platform with over 7 million monthly active users.
Pete focuses primarily on web tracking and how little bits of code can get ahold of your data when you're using Google or another browser. However, as more people have become wary of online tracking, Ghostery has found that email trackers are becoming more prolific, and most people don't know how to protect their data in their inbox. Pete shares what email tracking is and how to prevent it in a language that everyone can understand.

574-hack-summit-2018-decentralized
David reveals his valuable insights on new kinds of economic actors called decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) where communities of distributed actors/workers who bring a new form of labor and value to the market- very similar to what we see in hackathons.
This is forming the discourse around the second wave of the future of work- first it was flexible working and side-gigging, now that looks more like empowered individuals coming together in groups to create and unlock economic value.
This structure could very well change/disrupt the current idea of a company or organization and change that into something a lot more fluid and distributed, thanks to new tech (like Deconet).
I am quite excited about this one and how he is using technology to create an alternative future for work.
Would you like free tickets to the Hack Summit Virtual Conference?

I'm excited to have Josh Rogers, CEO of Precisely, joining us today. We last spoke in 2020, but I was intrigued to learn that he has led the company through seven acquisitions. So I invited him to join me again to share his unique perspective on the current Mergers and Acquisitions (M & A) market.
As we all know, today's business leaders are facing a complex and challenging economic environment, with many facing the decision to either move forward or cease M&A activity completely. In fact, PwC reports that in comparison to the first half of 2021, deal values have declined by 20 percent.
However, buyers can experience better returns during a downturn and achieve outsized growth as valuations come down, according to the same analysis from PwC. Josh touches on this and the current economic environment, evaluating risk, and how leaders should proceed with M&As. He also shares his experience leading Precisely through seven acquisitions and the company's acquisition plans in the current market. Additionally, we discuss how leaders should communicate acquisitions to customers and the acquired company's employees.
Listen in as one of the most experienced M&A leaders in the tech industry shares his insights.
