A jelenség a maga teljességében azonban megragadhatatlan; nem csupán az érintett területek szélessége, hanem a Gép “önállósodásának” lehetséges mélységei miatt is. Amit nem is látunk pontosan.

Első YardOlyan vagyok, mint a proletár, akinek csak a láncai maradtak – Horváth Miklós a Graphisoftról, rendszerváltásról, HungarocamionrólHorváth Miklós 1947-ben született Budapesten, erdélyi családban, édesapja katonaszökevény volt, aki a második világháború alatt, a román hadseregből szökött Budapestre, ahol kisiparos lett. Különleges tehetsége fűződött a kapcsolatépítéshez, valamint ahhoz is, hogy miképpen jusson egyről a kettőre. Leginkább ennek köszönhető, hogy hiába a család helyi beágyazottságának hiánya, Horváth Miklós már a Rózsadombon nőtt fel. Fiatalon elkezdett kézilabdázni, melyben NB1-es szintig jutott, id...2022-01-281h 38Horváth Bálint - SMARTonvásár2022. január 20. - MARTONVÁSÁR INFÓ HÍRPERCEKA fontos hírek, események, eredmények és érdekességek egy helyen, pár percben.

This Sustainable Life419: Balint Horvath, part 4: Fatherhood and sustainabilityLet's talk fatherhood and sustainability."Josh, you don't understand since you don't have kids, it's impossible to avoid producing waste," people keep saying. Since they say other things I've done is impossible before learning I've done them, I expect they're making excuses and that I could solve parenthood problems too. Without kids I haven't solved their problems (though guest Bea Johnson has in her family of four that produces less landfill waste than I do), but I expect I could.Balint became a father since he was a guest.

The Hardware Entrepreneur#068 - Challenges of small manufacturers to organise their production and inventory, with Kristjan Vilosius of Katana, EstoniaThis episode’s guest is Kistjan Vilosius of Katana, a startup from Estonia. Working at a small-, medium-sized company, or startup you have to wear many hats and it happens often that there are simply not enough people to wear those hats. You have limited resources. Highly efficient way of working is therefore extremely important. How many times did it happen that you spent unexpectedly high number of hours trying to fix some issues when using your software, for example plain old spreadsheets, especially when those spreadsheets are connected, which handle different aspects of your business? ...2019-05-1544 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#067 - How to speed up your New Product Introduction - Production Line Tool, with Pete Staples of Blue Clover Devices, USAMy podcast guest is Pete Staples, co-founder and president of Blue Clover Devices with locations in San Francisco, Hong Kong and of course, Shenzhen, the Silicon Valley of Hardware. This is an episode on some important aspects of production lines and its challenges. Without a production line you have no mass manufacturing so if you want to play in that field, it’s good to know about some current issues. Pete’s company is originally and even now an ODM company. In this episode he will talk about what they do as an ODM. You’ll als...2019-02-1338 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#066 - How to apply lean startup principles to hardware, with Ash Maurya of Leanstack, USAI have a very special guest, one of the pioneers of one of the most popular innovation frameworks these days: the lean startup framework. My guest is Ash Maurya, who along with Eric Ries, did some substantial work in this field, laying the foundations of this concept. You’ll learn in this episode why this idea is still important today, especially in hardware field after it was born around the last financial crisis. You’ll get to hear also what companies are using it, some tactics you can use to make it work for you and also how...2019-01-1641 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#065 - How to care about sustainability to get rid of plastic bottles (and still make a profit), with Moritz Waldstein of Mitte, GermanyMy guest in this episode is Moritz Waldstein-Wartenberg of Mitte from Berlin, Germany. We all drink water, mostly, I guess. I drink it in my tea, usually Fennel Anis Cumin bio tea, I drink it many times per day. Or I consume water in its pure form. But is water really pure? If it’s not pure, for example tap water, which we drink many times in Europe, how do you make sure you have a high quality water at home without going to the supermarket, paying for it and without taking, then throwing out the plastic bo...2018-12-1934 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#064 - To transform or not to transform your hardware company to an all agile one next year, with Balint Horvath, SwitzerlandI’m back on this episode and you will hear about the continuation of the topic of the last published episode. What should you do once you know you have a problem worth solving and you validated what solution you should build with all the features? Should you just go ahead and develop the product based on the specs, the whole development potentially taking multiple years? What is some framework that’s being adopted by more and more organisations these days, such as by Tesla, Bosch, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Boeing, Saab Defense or also some of the smaller companies, star...2018-11-2112 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#063 - Your (hardware) product is not your product - think in terms of business models, with your host Balint Horvath, SwitzerlandThis episode features me and I’ll talk about topics that are especially relevant for technical founders. Your product is not the product. Many of us in high tech entrepreneurship have a technical background, with years of academic training where we’ve been educated about how to build products, with all the technical skills needed for that. We know how to calculate many things, such as mechanical properties, we know how to create CAD drawings, and how to actually translate theory into practise by actually building stuff. But is entrepreneurship really about these technicalities, specifically hardware entrepreneurship? 2018-10-2418 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#062 - How a hardware SaaS company wants to help you not get lost in your data during product development, with Michael Corr of Duro Labs, USAI had Michael Corr as guest, who is the co-founder and CEO of Duro Labs from LA, southern California. I already had a guest from LA in episode 25, Shaun Arora of Make in LA, the hardware accelerator. Michael is also in a way supporting the hardware ecosystem, but he’s not from an accelerator. He’s helping hardware companies with their developments and he has a product for it. His product is at the interface between software and hardware. He’s been deep in hardware development, designing and manufacturing all kinds of hardware products for more than 15 years...2018-09-2654 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#061 - RERUN - How to avoid mistakes when building a team - lessons from mentoring 1200+ hardware entrepreneurs, with Alan Clayton of SOSVThis is a rerun episode after one month of no publishing. As mentioned in the last episode, I changed the publishing frequency to monthly. Why am I doing now a re-release of a past episode? Perhaps you’ve seen the recent report by HAX, the hardware accelerator based in Shenzhen, China and in San Francisco: their first hardware report in 2018. In the report they mentioned the importance of a great team when building a company and immediately this past episode with Alan Clayton came up in my mind, who’s the person assessing hardware startup teams’ healths. Since this is a v...2018-08-2943 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#060 - Future global data connectivity without worrying about your costs, with Guy Zbarsky of Keepgo, IsraelMy guest is Guy Zbarsky, co-founder of Keepgo, a firm that has been in business for about a decade. Guy’s company is called Keepgo and this company name already suggests that they want you to keep going, everywhere you want to go to. Some of you know that well, I cannot live very long without traveling so their topic connected with me. I met their company via one of my trips at IoT Tech Expo in Amsterdam at the end of June this year. Their business operates in a fast-moving field, in telecom. This also means th...2018-08-0149 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#059 - Where IoT/AI are heading to - impressions from IoT Tech Expo Europe, with Balint Horvath, SwitzerlandRecently I participated in IoT Tech Expo Europe in Amsterdam on 27-28 June. It was a fascinating event to feel the pulse of the industry, how things stand and where the industry is heading to. In this episode I want to bring you some of the highlights, essential take home messages. This event is one of the biggest ones of its kind in Europe with nearly 9000 attendees. It had a few sections, including AI, IoT, Blockchain. At least half of the exhibitors were related to blockchain. However, in this episode in order to have some focus, I’ll...2018-07-1815 min
This Sustainable Life064: The world has become more colorful; Balint Horvath, Part 3Does sacrificing something you love mean a worse life?Balint shares his enthusiasm to experiment and find new recipes, tastes and experiences---I would say not despite but because of his choice to act on his values. What you value is better for you.. In his words: "The world is more colorful."His experience shows the difference to your life between talking about acting and acting (not to mention that talking about environmental change doesn't change the environment, and most people stop at talking).Creating momentum toward goals we care about leads to support from oth...2018-07-1726 min
This Sustainable Life059: The domino effect of creating change; Balint Horvath, part 2Balint took on one of the bigger challenges on this podcast---one that nearly everyone knows the value of, many mean to do, but few do. He cut his beef intake from almost daily to once a month.How did he do it? How did his body react? His relationships? His health? Would he do it again?He shares how he became more aware of the different forms of protein and how his eyes and palate opened up to new tastes and dishes. He shared how it affected his relationship with his girlfriend.2018-07-0632 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#058 - Freedom to work and play anywhere without losing power, with Nancy de Fays of Linedock, USAMy guest in this episode is Nancy de Fays, one the two co-founders of a company from San Francisco, California, which is called Linedock. Have you ever wanted to work or play from anywhere but you ran into the issue of running out of power for your devices? Maybe you did actually want to work from a beach with your laptop, while navigating a drone in the air at the same time, while playing music on a speaker...for hours long. Nancy’s hardware startup wants to tackle this problem so one can become more location-independent. ...2018-07-0440 min
This Sustainable Life054: The connection between entrepreneurship, academia, and environment; Balint Horvath , Part 1Balint Horvath and I are physicists and both podcasters -- a rare combination. I think the connection helps make this conversation inspire. That's the goal.I originally appeared on his podcast, where we connected. His love for environment and interviewing skill brought out mine last summer, when this podcast was taking shape in my mind. He played a big role in Leadership and the Environment forming and my taking the necessary concrete steps to implement it.We talk about his podcast and how he separates entrepreneurship and academia. We discuss how he views en...2018-06-2230 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#057 - Kickstarter Post-launch - a home gym challenges the "No pain No gain" crowd, with Joey Atlas of SCULPTAFIT Global, USAThis is a second recording with Joey Atlas of SCULPTAFIT Global, USA who has had recently a Kickstarter campaign. He is a fitness student, consultant and pioneer. In this second episode you get to hear about the lessons learned from his crowdfunding campaign. In the first episode he talked about the campaign preparations. We’ll analyze his campaign, why it was a success for Joey, the hypothesis he wanted to address. He explains what went well and he gives also some ideas on how he could improve his future campaigns. What were some of the to...2018-06-2036 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#056 - Not too early, not too late - how to get the timing right for your innovation, with your host Balint Horvath, SwitzerlandI’m back again on the podcast with an episode where I’ll be talking about the timing of innovation. This means I don’t have a guest in this episode. Why do many startup ideas fail, what’s the main reason for it? What are some of the other implications for your business in case you fail due to that one reason? It turns out actually timing is crucial. And with timing I don’t mean when you get your team together, or when you get the funding. Timing entails here something else: when you should come out w...2018-06-0610 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#055 - Why hardware startup ecosystem in Lebanon is becoming interesting, with Raja Younes of Startupsfund, Futuris Technologies, LebanonThis is an interview with Raja Younes of Startupsfund, Futuris Technologies, Lebanon. We wanted to look at the Lebanese startup ecosystem, especially in hardware, so for producing physical products. We don’t hear about Lebanon enough, even though we should as there are some strong reasons for it - you can find out in this episode about some of these reasons. All tech startups run into a problem sooner or later which is connected to their workforce. There is actually a megatrend related to this, which can become a huge bottleneck for further growth worldwide. Other topics Ra...2018-05-2324 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#054 - Kickstarter Pre-launch - a home gym challenges the "No pain No gain" crowd, with Joey Atlas of SCULPTAFIT Global, USAWe have a different episode than usual as we’re taking you on a ride on a Kickstarter campaign. My guest was Joey Atlas of SCULPTAFIT Global, from Florida, who is a fitness student, consultant and pioneer. In this set of episodes you get to hear about the before and after cases for a hardware product. This is the first episode which was recorded just before launch. How familiar are you with the concept No pain, No gain? I guess, actually very familiar. But does fitness really have to be that grueling? Is it really ju...2018-05-0955 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#053 - Which one to choose - b2b or b2c for hardware startups, with Balint Horvath, your host, SwitzerlandIn this episode I wanted to give you an overview on an essential topic that can make or break your business - the chosen business model. My goal now is to give you an overview of two major business models, B2C (Business to Consumers) and B2B (Business to Business) with all its pros and cons. I approach this topic based on my own recent experiences that you will learn about, as well as based on interviewing many entrepreneurs; lastly by relying on some good old logic. I will also make an announcement in this episode...2018-04-2514 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#052 - Student (hardware) entrepreneurship in Switzerland and worldwide, with Gregory Inauen of ETH Entrepreneur Club, SwitzerlandMy guest this time was Gregory Inauen of the ETH Entrepreneur Club in Zurich, the youngest individual on this podcast so far. Well, why having a student on the show? I think we should talk not only about people who have acquired a lot of success, but also about the upcoming generation. I’ve known Gregory for about a year now and by bringing him onto the show I wanted to show how a student-run organization that cared about entrepreneurship is run. Moreover, he’s from the Zurich where I also live which is another reason to feat...2018-04-1129 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#051 - Connecting the (hardware) dots, with Greg Fisher of BSG and Hardware Massive, USAI had as guest Greg Fisher of Berkeley Sourcing Group (BSG) and Hardware Massive. Greg is very experienced in the hardware field, since he’s been running BSG for more than a decade, assisting more than 900 hardware startups, operating from the US and from China. There is tons of information on manufacturing in China, but I think information on this topic never seems to be enough. Greg talks about typical timelines for developing consumer products, the different steps one has to take; he gives tips on how to stay lean and agile. He’ll talk also about Hard...2018-03-2835 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#050 - How to get your product found on the internet, with Ashley Faulkes of Mad Lemmings, SwitzerlandI sat down with Ashley Faulkes of Mad Lemmings, who’s passionate about the internet, on how products are showcased and how they can be found. We wanted to address two challenges: how can you bring a visitor to your website and how can you convert them from visitors into a buyer? These are not exactly hardware topics, but for sure these days they’re relevant to everyone doing business. There is tons of information around about tools, so it’s not an easy job to find the right one(s). We’re all biased to some...2018-03-1448 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#049 - RERUN - Elements of building a successful tech business, with (proven) serial entrepreneur Milton Chang of Incubic Venture Fund, USAAgain, this is a rerun episode so a re-release of the episode with Milton Chang of Incubic.

Why a rerun? There are a few reasons for it and I brought up some during the last episode. One of the reasons, as mentioned, has to do with slowing down at the beginning of the year. Another reason is that this episode was in the top 5 most downloaded episodes in 2017. It had a major impact on me as well since after my conversation with Joe I embraced agile to the fullest: I use it both in my...2018-02-1451 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#047 - RERUN - How next-generation retail looks like, with Vibhu Norby of b8ta, USAThis is a rerun episode so a re-release of the episode Vibhu Norby of b8ta. Why am I doing a rerun? Well, there are a few reasons for it. Rather than speed up like what most people do, I want to slow down at the beginning of the year. I am doing some energy management by not coming out with new content. Instead I’m reusing some content. This is in line with the first episode I have released this year which was about simplicity. Many times we’re too busy, so busy that we forget to e...2018-01-3138 minThe Hardware Entrepreneur#046 - When not to start a startup - how to license your idea (Part 2), with Stephen Key of inventRight, USAThis episode is Part 2 of my interview with Stephen Key of inventRight. Why two parts? Soon you can learn why I believe this topic deserves special attention. Stephen Key, using a relevant Star Wars terminology, is the Yoda of "renting" ideas as Tim Ferriss referred to him. The question is still the same: do you really need to found a company? In part 1 we discussed Stephen’s guideline on when to start a startup and when to license. He brought up also another point: should you sell a product first, or something else?
