Don't Fall in Love with Your Product – Fall in Love with Your Customer!
You had a brilliant idea in the shower. You sketched it out. Built the prototype. Maybe even got a logo. You’re pumped – this is the one. But wait – have you talked to your customer yet? Here’s the hard truth: Many founders fall madly in love with their product idea... and forget the most important ingredient for success: the customer. They build in silence, polish in isolation, and proudly launch – only to discover that no one really wants what they created. It’s not because the product is bad. It’s because it was never validated.

AI for Business – Vision vs. Reality
Last week I had the pleasure of moderating a panel at Tech & AI Jobs Fair Vienna 2025 – and let’s just say: the gap between vision and reality? Still pretty wide. 🌍 Alice Schmidt reminded us that AI has massive potential to make the world better – if we humans provide the right ethical frameworks and guidance. 💥 Nahed Hatahet made it clear: AI needs to become a strategic topic in companies – with C-level roles to match. No more leaving it to "someone in IT". 🧠 Connie Walter gave us an inside look at how AI is already changing HR – but stressed the need for a human-centered approach to tech that touches people’s lives. 💡 And Ramona Bordea Nazarov, founder of AverisAI, is building that future right now – with AI agents that make hiring fairer, smarter, and more personal. ✨ Takeaway from our brilliant panelists? ✅ Use AI. ✅ Question AI. ✅ Trust the tools that earn your trust. ❗ But above all: get started ‼️
