Had a fascinating conversation last week in Zurich with Chris from CODEX Partners — thanks again for your time and insights! A few takeaways on the evolving consulting landscape in Europe: 🔷 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 & 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 — especially in Switzerland. Clients often prefer Swiss German-speaking teams, even if deliverables are in English. 🔷 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 (𝗦𝗗𝗖𝘀) are still met with caution for fast-paced work like due diligence, but when done right, they can evolve into real centers of excellence. 🔷 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗶𝗱-𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 — especially at the project manager level. Many are exploring freelancers, alliances, or partners like us to bridge this gap. 🔷 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴, but still seen as a supportive tool rather than a replacement — especially when quality and nuance matter. Also — great to hear about 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘅’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱! If you’re in the M&A space and looking for sharp commercial due diligence support in this region, I’d highly recommend giving Chris a call. #consulting #duediligence #M&A #switzerland #globaltalent #SDC #CodexPartners #IBCConsultants

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿-𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿-𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱. Let’s start with Berufsunfähigkeitsversicherung (aka disability insurance). A product built on fear, sold through confusion.  • High commissions.  • Zero transparency.  • Pushed by brokers with minimal 'IHK' education and maximum hustle. They’ll hate me for saying it, but there are more bad financial products in Germany than good ones. Take DVAG. They call themselves “advisors”. But they’re just salespeople with a product catalog. The more expensive the product, the higher their cut. It’s all sales. No advice. 🇳🇱 In the Netherlands, it’s a different story:  1. Financial education starts early.  2. Commission costs must be disclosed clearly by law.  3. Consumer protection actually protects consumers. In Germany? Brokers are incentivized to keep you in the dark. I learned that the hard way. A so-called “advisor” earned 2% on my mortgage—just for pushing paper. That’s why I built Hypofriend. And why we’re now building Pensionfriend and Investfriend. 💥 We're coming for MLP, Swiss Life, and DVAG. No more backdoor commissions. No more false claims of “independence.” It’s time to break the system from the inside. More competition. Better tech. Lower fees. And actual advice.

If you’ve just founded your startup, you’re most likely watching every Rappen (the cent equivalent in Swiss Francs). 🧪 Between high equipment costs and first hiring expenses, having your own lab sounds like something for later-stage startups. Especially if the rent for an office is stacked on top of it!   The truth is… You don’t need to build your own lab. You don’t even need VC money to rent one. Organizations like incubators, accelerators, and innovation parks will let you rent private or shared lab spaces at a fraction of the cost you’re imagining. And because it’s already built and fully permitted, you can get started right away! In our new series, we’re debunking 5 common myths life sciences startups believe about workspaces. Follow along and discover: 💡 The assumptions many life sciences entrepreneurs share 💡 How the right workspace can accelerate your journey 💡 Why the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area might be exactly what you're looking for. 👉 Read the full article right here: https://lnkd.in/e2pXutjY Tebbe de Vries #Innovation #Workspaces #LifeScience #Coworking
