Prof. Nils Högsdal (HdM Stuttgart, ex-Vice President for Innovation) — Incorruptible reframed through the German Mittelstand and its Hidden Champions

Prof. Dr. Nils Högsdal — Corporate Finance & Entrepreneurship professor at Stuttgart Media University, one of the early German promoters of Lean Startup — traces the arc across Ries's three books (Lean Startup → Startup Way → Incorruptible) and argues Incorruptible is the most interesting because it opens a conversation the German startup ecosystem doesn't have: how do you build companies that stay committed to founders' vision long-term? His answer points at the Mittelstand and its Hidden Champions.

“Wie baut man Unternehmen, die nicht nur schnell wachsen, sondern langfristig der Vision der Gründenden verpflichtet sind?” — Prof. Nils Högsdal on LinkedIn
