Episode 7
In the seventh episode of How to Scale we focus on mergers and acquisitions. I speak to serial entrepreneur Michael Kent, who was the CEO of Azimo, one of our former portfolio companies, which recently was acquired by Papaya Global.’
In the conversation we cover growth strategies with mergers and acquisitions, including what to focus on if you’re looking to acquire for the first time and a reminder that the process does not finish when the transaction is completed. We also talk about the difference in skill sets between organic growth and acquisitive growth, and the importance of focusing on people and relationships before, during and after any deal.
