Originally published by Sramana Mitra on LinkedIn: Why Would You Turn Down A $100M Acquisition Offer?
During this week’s roundtable, our guest was Guy Mucklow, President and Co-founder of PCA Predict. Guy has bootstrapped PCA from London to $20 million in 2016 revenue. He has also turned down a $100 million acquisition offer in 2015. Excellent, inspiring discussion.
You can listen to the recording of this roundtable here:
Regrob.com
As for pitches, Ashish Kaushik from Noida, India, pitched Regrob.com, an online real estate brokerage with offline components. The business is validated and makes $200k in revenue. We discussed scaling strategy, as well as possibilities of funding.
Comedy Munch
Next, Anuj Sehgal from New Delhi, India, pitched Comedy Munch, an online comedy platform that is also validated and makes about $150k in revenue after one year of being in business. Excellent execution. We discussed scaling strategy and prioritization of the options ahead.
Kezban
Then, Jahir Hussain from the London, UK, pitched Kezban, a content platform for publishers and libraries. Jahir has been in business for a little over three years, and has generated about $100k in revenue last year. There are, however, sales model issues, as well as positioning issues that need to be streamlined to scale the company.
