Author: Noah Labhart - Startup Founder & CTO

Recently, I had the pleasure of chatting with Jürgen Strauss on the InnovaBuzz podcast, to talk about:

• How to have your team OWN and run your projects
• Getting in touch with who you are, then owning it and rocking it and
• How to get new ideas and solve problems by walking away from them for a while

Listen to the podcast to find out more at https://innovabiz.co/noahlabhart. Some tweetable snippets:

• Be yourself. Be in touch with yourself, own it, and rock it! @CodeStory on #InnovaBuzz podcast https://innovabiz.co/noahlabhart @ApplePodcasts
• Be bold in yourself and go do it. Give things a shot. @CodeStory on #InnovaBuzz podcast https://innovabiz.co/noahlabhart @ApplePodcasts
• Enable your people and stay connected with them. There’s nothing more satisfying than making yourself redundant. @CodeStory on #InnovaBuzz podcast https://innovabiz.co/noahlabhart @ApplePodcasts
• It’s helpful to create brand awareness but the real selling point is knowing your ideal client and understanding the problem that you are solving. @CodeStory on #InnovaBuzz podcast https://innovabiz.co/noahlabhart @ApplePodcasts
• You need to have enough workers to attract business, but you also need to have enough business to attract workers. @CodeStory on #InnovaBuzz podcast https://innovabiz.co/noahlabhart @ApplePodcasts
• Making sure that your team stays connected is important in doing remote work. Make sure that there are touchpoints where people can connect and talk to each other with that they are working on. @CodeStory on #InnovaBuzz podcast https://innovabiz.co/noahlabhart @ApplePodcasts
• Just do it. You’ll never know until you do it. There are so many resources at your fingertips that you can take advantage of, and so, there’s very little risk in trying. If you fail, you’ll just learn something that will help you in the next thing you will do. @CodeStory on #InnovaBuzz podcast https://innovabiz.co/noahlabhart @ApplePodcasts
• Go analog. Get away from the digital world and go outside. Good ideas come from random places. @CodeStory on #InnovaBuzz podcast https://innovabiz.co/noahlabhart @ApplePodcasts

A resident of Amsterdam, Daniel Gebler found his way into tech through an artistic route – through creating demos, combining visuals and music through technology. A husband and Dad of 2, he enjoyed rock climbing, but mostly bouldering indoors – though he loves to go out in the trees with his friends when he can. After leading R&D at Fredhopper, he took several years to do research on large scale systems. Coming out of his research in 2015, he joined Picnic – the online supermarket delivering groceries directly to your home, free of charge.

Nine years ago, Dennis Lunev moved from Russia to the USA. He likes to polish his skills in archery and throw axes. Previously, he was a software engineer attempting to build SaaS solutions that didn’t quite pan out. Afterwards while doing integration consulting he saw the need to connect payment gateways to HubSpot, so he set out to build DepositFix – a way to directly integrate Stripe and PayPal into the world’s most used CRM.

Growing up in a small rural city in Germany, Dominic Obermaier was not exposed too much when it comes to computers. After studying computer science in college, he was hooked. A frequent reader of ancient philosophy, he likes to hang out with friends and play board games, specifically long-lasting games such as Arkham horror. Obermaier started a company with his college friends with the goal to broker data from connected devices, and not just a few, but millions following his very own standardized IoT protocol MQTT. This solution is now known as HiveMQ.

A mother of 2, Desi McAdam understands the needs of a parent. She graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in computer science, and loves to roller skate – and may have participated in roller derby a time or 2. Fast forward several years, she and her co-founder were meeting to figure out how to create a co-working space with childcare. In attempting to do this, they came up with the idea for Nanno – an on-demand platform for connecting parents to vetted, quality sitters…. when & where they need them.
