She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

Research and translation by Isabella Kempf. Sound design and audio mix by Philip Wilson, with help from Cameron McIver. Theme music by Oliver Wickham. Voice acting by Natalia Bushnik. Special thanks to the Kollisch family for the use of Eva’s two memoirs, “Girl in Movement” and “The Ground Under My Feet”, the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College and their “Voices of Feminism Oral History Project”, and Soundtrack New York.…

Recap and Final Thoughts Summary of Key Points Encouragement for Improvement [Scene 2: Understanding the Importance of a Pitch] ****Your pitch is your first impression, and in many cases, it might be your only chance to grab someone's attention. A great pitch isn't just about selling your product; it's about conveying your vision, your passion, and why your idea matters. Remember, attention spans are short. You need to make an impact in the first few seconds. Let’s break down how to do this. The Elevator Pitch - 1 Line, 3 Lines ****First, let’s start with the elevator pitch. Imagine you’re in an elevator with someone who could change your startup’s future. You only have a few seconds— what do you say? The 1-Line Pitch: This is your most concise pitch. It should capture the essence of your idea in a single sentence. For example: "We help companies reduce their carbon footprint by 50% in one year through our AI-powered platform." The 3-Line Pitch: If you have a little more time, expand your pitch to three lines. This version provides a bit more context. For example: "We’re a deeptech startup that uses AI to help companies reduce their carbon footprint by 50% in one year. Our platform analyzes energy usage and suggests actionable improvements. We’re currently working with three major corporations and looking to expand." Practice these pitches until they feel natural. The goal is to be able to deliver them smoothly and confidently, no matter where you are or who you're talking to. Th…

1 Deeptech & Climate Tech Startup 101 - Lesson 2 From Ideas to Execution - The True Value Lies in Action 16:04
Hello everybody! How do you create a deeptech or climate tech startup? You ask. I have got the question SO MANY TIMES and since we can't all get into deeptech accelerators, I thought that.. Well, I'll give it a shot in a series of videos. Deeptech & Climate Tech startup 101. This is the second one. Instead of focusing on ideas: execute. Fast. Repeat. By the way, do you know that Reactor is on Instagram too, now? https://www.instagram.com/reactortechmedia/ Thanks for your support! Deeptech & Climate Tech Startup 101 - Episode 2: From Ideas to Execution - The True Value Lies in Action Welcome back to Reactor! I’m Jerome, and in today’s episode, we’re tackling a critical topic for any aspiring entrepreneur: The true value of your business isn’t in the idea itself—it’s in how well you execute it. We’ll dive into why ideas alone aren’t enough and how to turn them into real, impactful value. Here’s what we’ll be covering in today’s episode: The Absurdity of Idea Theft Why ideas alone aren’t enough The myth of someone stealing your idea and succeeding Execution: The True Power Behind Ideas The value formula: Value = (Dream Outcome × Probability of Achieving Outcome) ÷ (Effort × Time Delay) Real-life example: Mark Zuckerberg and the importance of execution Focusing on Bringing Value to Customers Starting small and scaling Listening to feedback and iterating quickly Solving real problems, not just hypotheses Overdelivering to Build Momentum Creating loyal customers by going above and beyond Building momentum through consistent value delivery Staying Customer-Focused Empathy mapping to understand customer needs Customer journey mapping to enhance experiences Recap and Takeaways Summary of key points The importance of execution over ideas What to expect in the next episode These six chapters will guide us through understanding why execution is the key to success and how to effectively turn your ideas into tangible, impactful value. Let’s get started! [Scene 2: The Absurdity of Idea Theft] Let’s start with a simple question: When was the last time someone stole your business idea, created a company exactly the way you envisioned it, and made billions from it? Sounds absurd, right? That’s because it is. The truth is, ideas are easy. Execution is what separates dreamers from doers. Think about those gadgets you sometimes see on late-night TV. Sure, they’re real, and they might even be useful, but how many of them are truly solving a problem that people are struggling with every day? Often, these products are just “hypotheses in your head,” ideas that haven’t been tested against real-world needs. Without execution, an idea remains just that—an idea. [Scene 3: Execution - The True Power Behind Ideas] Execution is where the real value lies. Let’s break it down with a simple formula: Value = (Dream Outcome × Probability of Achieving Outcome) ÷ (Effort × Time Delay). Let’s dissect this: Dream Outcome: This is the best possible result your product can help your customer achieve. It’s what your customers dream of. How big is the impact you can make? 2. Probability of Achieving Outcome: This is your chance of success. How likely is it that your product will achieve the dream outcome? Effort: How much work is required? What kind of resources, skills, and energy will your customer need to put in to make your idea a reality?…
