In the latest episode of The Innovators & Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with Sam Huang, Principal at BMW iVentures, for a candid conversation to explore the dynamic intersection of venture capital, artificial intelligence, robotics, and manufacturing innovation. Sam shares BMW iVentures’ investment thesis, focusing on Series A and B startups across the US, Europe, and Israel, with a strong emphasis on AI-driven SaaS, automation, and onshoring trends driven by labor shortages and supply chain disruptions. Listeners gain valuable perspectives on the evolving venture diligence process, the importance of product-market fit, and how higher ARR benchmarks reflect both market maturity and macroeconomic factors like rising interest rates. Sam also candidly discusses his unconventional career path—from a Stanford history PhD program to law school and ultimately venture capital—highlighting how diverse experiences enhance investment acumen. The conversation delves into the benefits of corporate venture capital, especially BMW’s hands-on support and networking advantages for portfolio companies. Additionally, Sam reveals how AI is integrated internally at BMW iVentures to optimize workflow and decision-making. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of innovation, investment strategy, and the transformative impact of AI and robotics on global industries.

32:50

1987 U.S. National Champion Kristie Phillips-Bannister joins Better Late with host Pam Majumdar to talk about her return to elite competition in the 2000 Olympics cycle at the age of 27. Kristie talks about her elite gymnastics career leading up to the 1988 Olympics, to cheerleading at LSU, how a dare spurred her comeback, and finding her love of the sport again 10+ years after stopping gymnastics. She discusses the 4 months of physical preparation, 4-6 days per week, that it took for her to be able to do elite-level skills again. Plus, why she stopped training, her post-competition judging career, thoughts on the current Code of Points, and more.
