Episode #15 of the Beteiligungsbörse Deutschland Podcast with Nils Koerber
The latest episode #15 of our podcast is all about Nils Koerber and the succession situation in German family businesses. He also talks to Matthias Wittenburg, Co-Founder of Beteiligungsbörse Deutschland, about how investments can play a role here.
It is no secret that business succession is an enormous challenge for many family businesses. Our guest faced the same challenges as the designated successor to the family business. Since becoming an entrepreneur himself in the areas of business succession and generational change, he has used this experience to advise clients with his partner network. The keywords here are: Minority and majority shareholders.
But the current episode of the Beteiligungsbörse Deutschland podcast is also about the integration of artificial intelligence in participation processes. So it's worth listening in!
The program is presented by BB Beteiligungsbörse Deutschland GmbH and moderated by co-founder and managing director Matthias Wittenburg. It is aimed at investors, entrepreneurs, consultants and all other market participants. Every second Friday, this podcast is all about the exciting world of investments. The show not only offers insights into the company of the respective guest, but also into their experiences with equity investments and addresses the specific challenges of the respective sector. This is supplemented by sometimes somewhat unusual questions that also introduce our guest as a person. The podcast thus promises informative and entertaining insights into the world of equity financing.
