Bradley Weaver's Family Fun Club podcast

35:36

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.

This episode features songs about food. These songs are extra special to me because they were all cowritten by my (then 3-year-old) son Hank! About a year and a half ago, Hank and I decided to write some silly songs about food. Every tune on this episode was written during those jams! Until now, the songs only lived as files on my phone, but I decided they deserved to be heard. Some aren't fully structured, but all of them are catchy as all get out and I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as Hank and I enjoyed creating them! The setlist includes: 1. Apples (Weaver, HB Weaver) 2. Mac n Cheese n Peas (Weaver, HB Weaver) 3. Popcorn (Weaver, HB Weaver) 4. The Jam Jam (Weaver, HB Weaver) 5.
