Episode 8: Adam Whittaker, CFO of Outright Games and Ben Hutchinson, Investment Director at Rockpool
The story behind the deal. In the eighth episode of our Dealmakers Podcast series, we talk about the sale of Rockpool backed Outright Games to private equity firm EMK Capital. Outright Games is a family-friendly interactive video games publisher featuring well known characters such as Peppa Pig, PAW Patrol, PJ Masks, DreamWorks Spirit, & Jumanji. Set up as a family run business, they are the number one global publisher of children’s games on console.
Host Jo Sheerin is joined by Adam Whittaker, CFO of Outright Games and Ben Hutchinson, Investment Director at Rockpool as well as Nenad Simonovic and Ekrem Shahin from KPMG as they discuss the decision to sell and the challenges they faced along the way.
The gaming market reached over $160 billion last year and set to exceed over $200 billion by 2023, making it one of the fastest growing forms of digital entertainment. We go behind the scenes of this exciting deal as Adam and Ben discuss how you maximise the value of a deal whilst finding the right partner for the future of the business.
