More often than not, the biggest challenge in launching new ventures is the human risk element. During the start-up phase, confronting egos, perspectives and values are major risks of failure for high-tech companies, that often have no lesser purpose than saving the world. An increasing number of ventures in this space have discovered that focusing on human relationships and expectation management of the founders to ensure a shared vision and common goals among the stakeholders is dramatically reducing the human risk element and is additionally a sustainable competitive advantage. It is also highly valued by venture capitalists. One of the experts in this field is Karen Temple.
Karen Temple is living in Toronto and she is a coach and consultant for high tech companies as well as founders and CEOs of high-tech ventures. She has a PhD in Material Chemistry and profound knowledge in human psychology and human nature. She is also the founder of the Build Up One Another Podcast. Build Up One Another has the purpose of embracing supportive relationships and deep connections. Karen has seen in her career and personal life, that this will lead to long-term success, happiness and gratefulness and that we only reach the next level if we do it together. This counts for individuals, for companies and for the human species.
Some of the questions I ask Karen:
- Is Toronto a hub for high tech companies? (07:10)
- Can you please elaborate on the human risk element in building up a high tech company? (09:12)
- How did you get the tech competency to be able to get the trust from the founders to embrace human relationships in their companies? (19:20)
- What are your thoughts on the future of AI and humans? Will AI take over will machines stay tools that support humans to be free and happy? (32:43)
- AI algorithms are currently primarily developed for killing, spying, gambling and porn. How can we then train the algorithms to be kind? (39:18)
- Why does our society need so much help in supporting each other? Why is that not the natural go to behavior of all of us? (49:15)
I really enjoyed the interview with Karen. She is a world-class expert in her field and she has deep insights in areas so diversified as high technology, start-ups, human psychology and human nature. I think, connecting these areas is the single most important challenge we have to be aware of. Cooperation and deep human connections are essential to do this successfully.
