One of the biggest battles in the business world over the past few decades has been between established global companies versus relatively unknown startups. Think about Amazon taking on retailers, or Tesla taking on the automotive industry, or Revolut taking on established banks.
So what can these two very different species learn from each other? ‘When David Met Goliath’ pits startups alongside global giants, digging into how each plays the same game very differently.
In each episode pairing, we first sit down with a Goliath: A heavyweight leader from an established global giant. In the next, we bring on a David, a founder from a leading startup. They operate in the same space and same industry. They face some of the same problems. However, they have very different solutions, different playbooks, different styles, and often very different instincts.
The aim is simple: To show that real breakthroughs come when startup hustle meets corporate muscle.
