Every founder dreams of a successful exit.
Far fewer understand the decisions that make one possible.
Join Helm and Cavendish for an intimate dinner with Paul Gillott, entrepreneur, investor and founder of Symatrix, the technology consultancy he spent more than two decades building into one of the UK's leading Oracle Cloud specialists before achieving a successful high eight-figure exit in a transaction advised by Cavendish.
We'll also be joined by two experienced M&A advisers from Cavendish, who will be on hand throughout the evening to answer technical questions and share their expertise on the exit process.
However, this isn't just a conversation about selling a business but how important everything is that happens before the deal.
The difficult decisions. The moments that changed the trajectory of the company. The mistakes that nearly derailed it. And the lessons Paul wishes he'd known much earlier in his journey.
Over dinner, we'll explore:
Today, Paul invests in and mentors ambitious founders, giving him a unique perspective on what separates businesses that plateau from those that achieve exceptional outcomes.
As always, this will be an intimate, off-the-record dinner held under the Chatham House Rule, with plenty of opportunity to ask your own questions and learn from the experiences of both Paul and fellow founders around the table.
