Venture Capital Pitfalls, And The Practical Path To Startup Success | Greg Head

The Wise Exit

E40: Join Todd Sullivan and Greg Head, a software and SaaS expert with multiple exits under his belt, as they discuss his background building exceptional businesses, the experiences that shaped his view of Venture Capital as a growth vehicle, and his path to becoming a champion for practical founders everywhere.

Greg not only explains how venture capital often imposes unrealistic growth requirements, but he also emphasizes how founders who retain their equity experience larger personal financial wins when it comes time to sell their businesses.

Greg is a 30-year software industry veteran who was part of the startup-to-scale journeys of three different software companies in the CRM industry, including one IPO.

Today, Greg spends his time mentoring SaaS founders on the value of bootstrapping their companies to retain equity, ownership and control of the business decisions.

I hope you enjoyed the conversation with Greg Head.
