๐Ÿ’ก The Go-to-market strategy determines success or failure โ€“ what does this mean for family businesses?

Many medium-sized companies are familiar with the challenge: products fail not because of the idea, but because of the market launch โ€“ due to internal resistance, a lack of scaling strategies, or unsuitable models.

Our CEO Nils Wagner will be discussing this topic on September 25th at #MyWay2025 in #Berlin โ€“ together with Manuel Hรถrl (V-Labs), Johanna Heise (Heise Ventures), and Gabriel von Mitschke-Collande (G+D).

๐Ÿ‘‰ The #panel will focus on practical approaches to how family businesses can successfully bring i#nnovations to market โ€“ drawing on #experience from startup collaborations, M&A, and digital transformation.

Who among you will be attending #MyWay the Event from The Pioneer?

4 years of Livlig. What a journey.

Sometimes great things happen not despite the plan, but beyond it.
LIVLIG is the best example of this.

Not following a clear playbook. No strategic master deck to begin with, and no textbook innovation process to follow. But a team with attitude, courage, a deep sense of ownership, and a real drive to make things happen.

And an environment that said: Just do it.

Today - four years later - Livlig is more than just a venture:
โœ… โ‚ฌ 3 million turnover
โœ… 50.000 orders
โœ… Sales in eight countries

At REHAU New Ventures, weโ€™re proud โ€“ not because everything followed a perfect plan, but because our trust in the team paid off.

Thank you, Livlig. For your courage, your path, your impact and finally, the wonderful products.

And thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.

Christoph Hacker Stefanie Grahl Nicole Lรผttge Rebecca Metzler

Livlig means: real people, real care.
Just like on day one โ€“ every order is packed with love. (Video below๐Ÿ‘‡)

Happy 4th birthday! ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿ‘‰ What was your bravest step off the plan? We look forward to your stories.
