🎙️ Special IBC 2025 Episode – Retention Zone One of the most interesting conversations I had at IBC this year was with Gilles Domartini, CEO of Cleeng, right after the second edition of Retention Zone Live. We talked about how innovation in subscriptions is shifting — becoming more accessible and more intelligent. 👉 The big headline: Cleeng Pro. ➡️ A simplified way for any mid-sized publisher to launch a subscription service in under 60 minutes. ➡️ With just a few clicks you can create offers, set up a subscription page, consolidate app store data, and enable customer care. ➡️ And the real game changer? The first 10,000 monthly subscribers are free. ➡️ No contracts, no upfront cost — just the freedom to experiment, learn, and grow. For Vimeo users and smaller publishers frustrated by limited analytics, this could open entirely new doors. 👉 The second big announcement: ChurnIQ AI-ssistant. ➡️ Imagine a retention super-expert on demand. You ask: who’s at risk of churning, on which platform, and what’s the revenue impact? You get the answer instantly. ➡️ But more importantly, it doesn’t stop at insights. It suggests proven remedies, integrates with tools like Braze or Mailchimp, and can trigger campaigns automatically. It’s agentic AI in action — analytics flowing directly into decisions and execution. 📲 Finally, Gilles reminded me why we started Retention Zone in the first place: to create a space where the industry can share real challenges and shape better solutions together. That dialogue has already influenced Cleeng’s roadmap, and it shows the power of community in innovation.

Why do global companies invest in startups? In 2023, we launched Kormotech Ventures – an internal venture division focused on investing in startups, particularly in the pet care industry. Here’s why we did it: 🔹 To remain fast and innovative Kormotech now employs over 1,500 people, operates three factories (4th is under construction), and sells its products to 50+ countries. With a global company, the focus is often on steady growth and maintaining market positions. However, I believe that no matter the size of the business, it’s crucial to experiment, test ideas, and bring innovations to life. Collaborating with startups provides this opportunity. 🔹 To develop products that will be groundbreaking in the industry Every innovation starts as a niche idea, but those who take the first steps help shape the direction of the entire industry. By investing in startups, we not only track emerging trends but also have the chance to influence them. 🔹 To enhance the company with fresh talent In 2023, we acquired a controlling stake in the startup ROCKETO, which produces organic dog food. Kormotech took over its management to help take the startup to the next level. In the future, teams from the projects we invest in might become part of the company, just like Rocketo. This is an opportunity to bring in people with new perspectives and creative ideas. Although Kormotech is a global company, I treat its growth the same way I would a startup. It’s about mindset: the constant search for new opportunities and the belief that the best is yet to come, even when it feels like you’ve reached the peak. This mindset allows us to remain adaptable and ready to embrace change, no matter the size of the company.
