Welcome to Season 4 of the WatchPitch Podcast where we continue with our particular focus on exits... for start-ups, entrepreneurs and business owners...an exit strategy that could be the result of a Merger, an Acquisition or the outright sale of your business. Our program today features a Founder who had a fortuitous exit with his software for the automobile business. Ford vs Ferrari this is not but what we learn is how powerful getting it right early on with one vendor can lead to a system-wide application to an entire industry sector. Now of course, timing was a big factor but like many other Founders who have had successful exits, it all began with one vendor which led to an Acquisition. The arc of the exit just isn’t being talked about enough and that’s why we are here...so, let’s get started!
