"Most software companies either get acquired or go out of business. If you start doing really well, they're either going to copy you or buy you."
In today's episode of Bricks and Bytes, we had Geoff Tarrant from Payapps and we got to learn about how a $600 million construction tech exit really happens, why Australian startups must expand globally, and the brutal truth about fundraising timing... and many more!
Tune in to find out about:
✅ Why construction tech companies never IPO and always get acquired instead
✅ The mistake founders make when expanding to new markets too early
✅ How to build relationships with potential acquirers years before selling
✅ Why raising money too late kills more startups than anything else
Geoff shared incredible insights from building PayApps from a CFO's monthly nightmare into a tens-of-millions revenue business that Autodesk couldn't ignore. His investment banking background gives him a unique perspective on what really drives acquisitions and why timing everything wrong can destroy even great companies.
Listen now on Spotify to discover the real playbook for construction tech exits and what founders get dangerously wrong.
