What is *Fightback Now* by Felix Staeritz about?

*Fightback Now* outlines strategies for thriving in the digital economy by merging corporate resources with entrepreneurial agility. Staeritz emphasizes building scalable ventures through platforms, collaboration, and innovation to tackle societal challenges like climate change and healthcare. The book draws on his 20+ years of experience founding ventures like FoundersLane, which has generated over €1.5B in value.

Who should read *Fightback Now*?

Business leaders, corporate innovators, and entrepreneurs seeking actionable frameworks for digital transformation will benefit most. It’s particularly relevant for executives aiming to bridge the gap between traditional business models and disruptive technologies. Staeritz’s insights also appeal to policymakers and investors focused on sustainable, large-scale impact.

Is *Fightback Now* worth reading?

Yes—it provides practical tools for leveraging corporate venture building (CVB) to address global challenges. Staeritz combines real-world examples (e.g., partnerships with Vattenfall and Allianz) with scalable frameworks, making it a valuable resource for driving innovation in established organizations. Its focus on urgency and execution sets it apart from theoretical business guides.

What is Corporate Venture Building (CVB) in *Fightback Now*?

CVB is Staeritz’s model for combining corporate resources with startup speed to launch high-impact ventures. It involves co-creating solutions with entrepreneurs, scaling innovations rapidly, and aligning them with broader business goals. FoundersLane’s success in climate and health sectors exemplifies this approach, having built 50+ ventures since 2016.

How does *Fightback Now* approach digital transformation?

The book advocates for a dual strategy: leveraging existing corporate infrastructure while fostering entrepreneurial risk-taking. Staeritz stresses the importance of platforms to connect stakeholders and accelerate idea-to-market cycles. He critiques traditional innovation hubs for being too slow and isolated from real-world challenges.

What role do entrepreneurs play in *Fightback Now*?

Entrepreneurs are depicted as catalysts for systemic change. Staeritz argues they must collaborate with corporations to scale solutions, citing examples like KochAbo/Marley Spoon’s IPO. The book positions entrepreneurship as a counterforce to bureaucratic inertia, particularly in addressing climate and health crises.

What are the criticisms of *Fightback Now*?

Some may find its focus on large corporations limits applicability for smaller businesses. Staeritz also prioritizes speed over incremental change, which could clash with risk-averse cultures. However, the book addresses these concerns by emphasizing adaptable frameworks and phased implementation.

How does *Fightback Now* relate to current trends in 2025?

Its emphasis on AI-driven innovation and sustainability aligns with 2025’s tech landscape. Staeritz’s CVB model offers a blueprint for companies navigating rapid automation and decarbonization mandates, making the book a timely guide for post-pandemic recovery strategies.

The World is Changing Faster Than Ever

00:00

The pace of change in our world today is unprecedented. As authors, we've observed how technological advancements like automation, high-speed internet, and cloud computing have transformed entire industries, allowing humans to be healthier and more productive. However, these rapid changes also bring significant challenges that span across borders and industries. The COVID-19 pandemic starkly illustrated how deeply interconnected our global systems are. When the virus spread worldwide, we saw stock markets plummet and economies face years of disruption. This crisis made it clear that the biggest challenges we face today - from pandemics to climate change - require collaborative, interconnected thinking to solve. As business leaders and innovators, we must recognize that the old ways of operating are no longer sufficient. We need new approaches that can keep pace with the rate of change and address complex, multifaceted problems. This is why we wrote this book - to provide a roadmap for individuals and organizations to not just survive, but thrive in this age of disruption.
