//CEO@GRANNY&SMITH, DE-RISKING INNOLAB FOR THE MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES

I’m an inventor, innovator and investor. I turn real problems into real companies.My career changed the moment I realized most innovations fail for the same reason: everyone talks about ideas - almost no one builds them.In boardrooms and workshops, I watched brilliant concepts suffocate under politics, process and PowerPoints. The spark in people’s eyes faded the moment reality entered the room. I couldn’t unsee it.So I stopped helping people discuss the future and started building it.Over the past 15 years, I’ve created products, ventures and business models that didn’t exist before. What began as engineering evolved into a practice: recognizing real unmet needs, inventing the solution and forming a company around it.Today, I operate where invention, innovation and investment meet. I don’t manage portfolios — I create the companies they’re built from.How I work: • real-world problems • physical + digital products • validated demand • scalable models • long-term ownershipWhat drives me: If you can see a better future, you’re responsible for building it. I work with people who believe progress comes from creating, not talking — and who want to bring things into the world that should already exist.That’s why I build.More: grannyandsmith.com

We have been developing innovation for our customers for more than 15 years now.

Today we know what works and what does not - so you don't have to make all those experiences again.

Our INNOWEEK® method is the result of more than 15 years of continuous development and project experience with well-known DAX groups and Fortune 500 companies and helps you to develop, test, and grow new business ideas in a few weeks instead of months.

HERE IS MY APPROACH TO INNOVATION DEVELOPMENT

The difference between bringing your product to market in theory?

VS

Bringing your product to market in practice?

-------

In "the theoretical" way, you tried to be perfectly prepared and get hit by the market, and it´s over.

In "the practice way", you are learning step by step. (Like small hits that won't knock you out)

In "the practice way", you get feedback from the market and learn to iterate.

-------

After +15 years in the innovation business, I will never go "the theoretical way" anymore. 

It just hurts too much ;-)

You get that one hi,t and it's over.

It´s your choice.

YOU FEEL TIRED?

If you are feeling tired in your life...

...then you should take a good look at this video*!

Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. 

_You got a dream? 
_You gotta protect it. 
_You want something, go get it

THE FOUNDER OF NETFLIX LITERALLY DROPPED HIS BEST BUSINESS ADVICE IN UNDER A MINUTE 🔥

The most valuable business advice I've heard in years 💡

Netflix's founder just dropped this truth bomb that every entrepreneur needs to hear:

"Nobody knows anything when it comes to new ideas. I've started seven companies, including Netflix, and I promise you - I could never have predicted which would succeed and which would fail on day one."

His solution? Stop overthinking and START DOING.
→ Take the risk → Build something
→ Test something → Try something

Because here's the reality: 
You learn more in one hour of action than in three months of planning.

This hits different when you realize Netflix was just one of his seven attempts. 

Imagine if he'd stopped at attempt #6 because he was afraid of failure.

The companies that win aren't the ones with perfect plans - they're the ones brave enough to test their imperfect ideas in the real world.

What's one idea you've been overthinking that you could test this week?

P.S.
This is exactly the approach we are taking with our startup studio and family office. Reach out if you're interested in collaborating to build startups systematically.

In today's busy world, it's no surprise that getting leads to show up for sales meetings has become harder than ever. 
Even if you have the best product and solution for your target market, and have the funding to accelerate growth but can’t figure out how to: 

* Generate high-intent sales leads
* Generate demand and brand awareness in your market
* Turn your marketing efforts into sales pipelines

… then you’ll never be able to hit your sales targets and scale your revenue growth. 

Do you know how successful B2B tech companies overcome this challenge?

They move from “Lead Generation” tactics to Demand Generation methods.

However, there’s a catch…

Demand generation is complex. 

No one teaches how to actually do it or outlines a clear strategy or a framework. Except for some really cool podcasts and thought leaders that talk about parts of their demand generation success, it's very hard to find someone who can actually help you.

With the right demand generation operation, tech companies can increase marketing contribution to revenue, reduce speed to close and customer acquisition cost, and become an essential part of company growth.  

I’m more than convinced that our demand generation strategy, operation framework, practical playbooks, and super talented and experienced team, can help you Step Up your marketing game. 

I can also share with you that companies like WalkMe, Syngenta, Okta, Monogoto and others have adopted our demand generation strategy to impact their revenue. 

How do we do it?

We are solving the 3 main frictions in B2B marketing:
1. Bad Messaging - B2B buyers hate generalization. They want personalized content and offers that can solve their specific pains. We help find the right messages, content strategies, and offers to engage and increase conversions. 
2. Bad Funnels - B2B sales cycles are long and complex. We help create the ideal buyer's journeys with enough touchpoints that make the buyer understand why you are their best solution. 
3.  Bad Execution: We have proven playbooks, templates, and frameworks that are executed by some of the most experienced and talented marketers in Israel.

This makes me convinced we can help you, and because I appreciate your valuable time, I’ll make you this promise:

If you think our strategy and framework are not good enough for you and your company - I’LL GLADLY PAY YOU $100 for your time wasted! 

And we'll still be friends. What say you?

Talk soon,  
Moshe.

איזה מנהל שיווק מתאים לחברה שלך?
לרוב המנכ״לים יש אתגר אמיתי בלהביא מנהל שיווק. או שהם מביאים מישהו סופר מנוסה, שעבד בחברות הכי מצליחות. אבל לרוב החברות האלה יש פלייבוקים מוכנים, הכל מאוד מסודר...

או שהוא מביא ג׳וניור, חסר ניסיון, רעב להצליח. והוא לוקח בחשבון שהוא ״ישרוף״ כסף על תהליך הלמידה שלו. 

בשני המקרים,  זו בעיה!

מה דעתכם? 
מה הפתרון הכי נכון?

שיווק זה לא רק חשיפה ולידים. שיווק נותן לך פידבק מהיר מהשוק. ולכן צריך להתחיל עם שיווק כמה שיותר מוקדם. 

כשאנחנו עובדים עם חברות בתחילת הדרך שלהן, השיווק ממש עוזר להבין איך להתאים גם את המוצר והשירות למה שהלקוחות באמת רוצים. 

אז כשאתם חושבים על שיווק. זה לא רק כדי להגדיל את העסק. זה הרבה כדי להבין אם הרעיון שלכם בכלל מתאים לשוק שלכם. ואם ההצעה שלכם גורמת לאנשים להבין למה הם צריכים את זה עכשיו.
