In this bonus episode of the Tech Startup Elev8or podcast, I sit down with a very special guest (and a great friend of mine), the amazing Christopher Nyren.
Christopher is a seasoned investment banker whose mission is to support founders in EdTech through mergers and acquisitions.
Christopher is also the person who helped me sell my company (so you now understand my excitement about having him on the podcast).
In this episode, he and I will be discussing the importance of building genuine relationships and networks within our industry, how to navigate successful M&A processes, why hybrid business models work so well, Christopher’s journey and how he started focusing on the EdTech industry, and more.
We’ll also be sharing the special story that unites us, so you really don’t want to miss this episode!
