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.

When we started BusterBox, we moved into our first office space/warehouse immediately. It didn’t take long before we outgrew that space and had to move again. Soon after, we outgrew the new space too and relocated to a much bigger warehouse. Then Brexit hit, and we were forced to transition to using a fulfillment center. In this episode, I share my perspective after experiencing both options. A big question I often see in the subscription box space is: What’s the better option – managing your own warehouse or using a fulfillment center?

Retention on Call: How Picking Up the Phone Can Save Your Subscribers 12:39

לפני 34 weeks12:39

12:39

In this episode of Subscription Box Answers , we dive deep into one of the most impactful strategies for improving retention rates in your subscription box business: picking up the phone and talking directly to your customers. As we move into 2025, keeping customers happy and subscribed for longer is more critical than ever, especially after the holiday season when many new customers come on board. Reducing churn and increasing retention can significantly boost profitability, reduce customer acquisition costs, and create a more sustainable business. I share a proven strategy we implemented at BusterBox mid-2024, where my business partners and I personally called customers who were set to cancel. This approach helped us gather valuable feedback, address individual concerns, and ultimately save hundreds of customers who would have otherwise left. We tailored solutions to common cancellation reasons—offering heavy chewer plans, bi-monthly subscriptions, or temporary skips—to meet their needs and keep them subscribed. Over six weeks, we saved more than 400 customers, translating to a significant boost in revenue and retention. We also discuss how to scale this process, including creating scripts, identifying winning offers, and eventually delegating the task to employees. Beyond saving cancellations, we’ve also seen success with reactivating former customers and upselling premium products by phone. While this approach requires effort and resources, the results are undeniable—calling your customers can improve retention, provide critical insights, and even uncover new opportunities to grow your business. Whether you’re just starting out or managing a larger subscription box company, this episode will give you actionable tips on how and when to use phone calls effectively. If you’ve ever been hesitant to reach out to your customers directly, I’ll walk you through why it’s worth the effort and how to get started.

The Power Of Sign Up Flows & Surveys (With Stefan Pretty) 19:56

לפני 35 weeks19:56

19:56

On this episode of Subscription Box Answers , I’m sitting down with Stefan Pretty to discuss the power of sign-up flows and surveys in growing your subscription box business. I firmly believe that the majority of subscription boxes need to implement a survey to properly onboard their customers. Surveys help you collect vital information, allowing you to better serve your customers, keep them subscribed longer, and improve overall satisfaction. But that’s not all—surveys can also significantly reduce your customer acquisition costs and boost sign-ups if you strategically place an email collection point. By doing this, you capture high-intent email addresses, giving you multiple opportunities to convert potential customers into paying subscribers. This is incredibly powerful, yet so many subscription box businesses aren’t doing it. Up until now, creating and integrating these surveys has been a challenge. However, Subbly has solved this problem with their new survey builder, inspired by the success of BusterBox. This tool makes it easier than ever to design and implement effective surveys that drive results. If you’re not using surveys in your subscription box business, now is the time to start.
