How to Build Resilience in the Age of Disruption with CL Goh

What does it really take to build startups that last? In this episode of Thriving in the Age of Disruption, Dr. Ramesh Ramachandra speaks with CL Goh, Managing Partner of Blueing Cube Ventures, an industrial B2B venture builder and investor working with technology and advanced manufacturing startups. CL shares his journey from growing up in a family of small SME business owners, to building and selling his own equipment company, and later becoming a venture builder who works closely with founders to improve their chances of success. The conversation explores what venture building really means, especially in the B2B and industrial technology space, where founders often need more than capital. They need access to networks, experience, C-level conversations, business transformation support, and the ability to understand real market problems. CL also shares a sharp view on grant dependency. While government support can be useful during moments of crisis, he reminds us that a business plan built around grants is not a strong business plan. Grants can be a bonus, but they should not become the engine. One of the strongest lessons from CL: If you start early, you can afford to fail twice. At its heart, this episode is about building ventures with clarity, adaptability and discipline. It is a conversation about founders, failure, transformation, and the quiet habits that allow people and companies to keep moving forward. 🎙️ Host Dr. Ramesh Ramachandra Author, Podcast Host, Founder of Talent Leadership Crucible & Impact Velocity 🎤 Guest CL Goh Managing Partner, Blueing Cube Ventures #CLGoh #VentureBuilding #Startups #entrepreneurship 00:00 - Introduction to CL Goh 01:53 - Venture Building and Business Transformation 05:39 - Entrepreneurship and Mindset 11:55 - Adaptive Leadership and Crisis Management 15:33 - Personal Purpose and Sustainability 20:49 - Rapid Fire Q&A Session Listen to the podcast on Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1905125/ep...
