  • Episode 14 - Goals, Plans and Purpose
    Feb 4 2025

    In this podcast, we explore goal-setting from a biblical perspective, reflecting on how modern culture places a heavy emphasis on detailed, step-by-step planning for success. We contrast this with examples from the Bible, like Joseph and David, who didn’t follow specific “goal-setting programs” but trusted God’s guidance. We emphasize the importance of having a clear vision or purpose, which comes from spending time with God, but caution against rigidly planning every step. We highlight how life’s unpredictable twists and God’s sovereignty often mean we can’t foresee all the steps to our goals. Instead, the best approach is to have a general direction, trust in God’s plan, and remain open to His guidance - even when it doesn’t align with our own plans. It’s about balance: having goals without stressing over the nitty-gritty details.

  • Episode 13 - What is your Startup really worth?
    Jul 4 2023

    The day will come when you as a founder will have to sell your company to a private equity fund, strategic partner or merge with other players in the market. If you feel the time has come to sell your venture, familiarize yourself with some valuation methods to get an idea of your company valuation. There are different ways to estimate the value of a company but in this video I am sharing some commonly used methods. Depending on the buyers personal situation, motives and your positioning, other method might be applied.


    Here are the methods I am discussing:

    - Asset-based Method

    - Earnings-based Method

    - Discounted Cash-flow Valuation


    Each of these methods has it's pro's and con's and therefore it would be good to apply multiple methods to get an idea of your company value. The true value is somewhere in between.

    In this follow-up video to "My Startup Idea Never Made It PART 1", I explore five more reasons why startup ideas might fail.
