💡 How smart is ChatGPT? 💡

ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI, has become incredibly popular due to its ability to generate human-like responses in a wide range of circumstances. It has become already part of our daily life when creating content, writing essays, getting inspiration for something...

But how to measure how smart it really is?

In fact, the AI has become so smart that students are using it to do their homework. To benchmark the capabilities of ChatGPT, OpenAI simulated test runs of various professional and academic exams. Also they were comparing ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0. and the gap between both is huge!

The result is amazing! 💯

⚡But: It seems like the AI could use some extra tuition in Englisch Literature & Competitive Programming. 📜

ChatGPT 3.5 really had a kind of limiting factor as of missing access to the internet and the fact that it has been trained on data up to June 2021. Probably that is the most relevant factor why ChatGPT 4.0 has created so much better results.

Off to the next round: Venture Board REHAU New Ventures!

Last week we kicked off our series to introduce our Venture Board members.
As our 2nd Venture Board member we would therefore like to introduce Anil Sethi. Anil is a top serial entrepreneur, author and teacher. He founded his first company Flisom in 2005, as a spinoff of the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich), Zurich. He has been the CEO/CFO till 2012, and raised over CHF 100m over multiple rounds of funding, before stepping down and transitioning to the board. The company raised additional rounds before a strategic sale. He also co-​founded a number of other technology start-ups including Scrona Ltd. and InstaHeat and advised over 800 startups over the past decade.

By the way, Anil published the book “From Science to Startup: The Inside Track of Technology Entrepreneurship". It is a kind of must-read for scientists and academicians who want to see their idea turn into a product and change the market.

With Anil´s extensive experience in fundraising and building technology-start-ups over years, Anil is therefore a perfect match for our Venture Board. Anil by the way doesn´t get tired to remind us that technology is the change maker and finally makes the difference!
 
Anil Sethi, great to have you on board! We look forward to working with you and using your expertise to challenge our ventures! 💪

Welcome REHAU New Ventures Venture Board! 🎉

A few weeks ago, we kicked off our Venture Board at New Ventures. Our Venture Board is seen as sparring partner. It is supporting our ventures with advice on business model, funding, set-up and scaling options.

We strongly believe in the power of an outside-in-perspective. We are therefore very happy that we were able to attract a diverse, experienced and inspiring board from the VC, start-up and innovation network for our REHAU New Ventures journey. The expertise and objective perspective of our Venture Board combined with the internal competencies of REHAU New Ventures is a real added value for us! 💪

Within the next weeks we will step by step introduce you to all of our three Venture Board members.

Today, starting with our first board member 👉 Viola Theresa Stadler.
Viola brings to our Venture Board team great experience in Business Development & Innovation Management in manufacturing companies as well as a deep knowledge & network among strategic partnerships, investments, and portfolio management. As Head of Platform at Project A, one of the biggest VCs in Europe, Viola is leveraging the company's best-in-class network and strategic partnerships in a structured way. Before joining Project A, Viola held various positions at Viessmann Group, amongst others she was the Head of Business Development & Portfolio Management for the Value Added Service unit and supported building up the venture-building activities of the group. Before that, she has been an Investment Analyst at the corporate Venture Capital firm Allianz X in Munich. Originally born in Bavaria, spending time in different European locations, Viola is finally located in Berlin now.

Viola, so great to have you on board! We are excited to collaborate with you and to get your expertise and objective eye on our venture activities. We understood that working with you means also to take care of all our sweets in the office as they could somehow disappear very quickly by mistake! Let´s see if we can handle this! 😊
