🎙️ **New Episode Alert: The Big Exit Show - Episode: Robin's Journey** In our latest fascinating episode, Johan and Anke dive deep into the entrepreneurial odyssey of Robin van Lieshout, the founder who successfully sold his company, Insided, to tech giant Gainsight. Robin's candid revelations offer rare insights into the true complexities of selling a business, managing growth and strategy, and the personal transformation after a Big Exit. Here are three key takeaways for our entrepreneur and investor listeners: - 🤝 **Partnerships and Timing Are Crucial:** Robin underscores the impact of strategic choices and timing in the valuation and sale of a company. His proactive partnership with  Gainsight set the stage for a future acquisition by establishing trust and strategic alignment long before the deal took place. - 💡 **Culture and Decision-making Post-Investment:** The transition from a bootstrapped to a funded company can be challenging. Robin discusses the importance of adapting to board dynamics and external accountability, which helped Insight navigate key strategic pivots and ultimately aided in its rapid growth trajectory. - 🔄 **Life After The Exit:** Exploring life post-acquisition, Robin shares his personal experience of searching for new meaning and how supporting other founders has become a part of his new chapter. His openness about "rich man's problems" sheds light on the less-discussed aspect of entrepreneurial success. 🔊 Listen now to The Big Exit Show for the full story of resilience, strategic finesse, and personal evolution—lessons that every founder and investor can learn from. #TheBigExitShow #StartupJourney #FounderStories #ExitStrategy #BusinessGrowth #PodcastHighlight

Dive into the long-term investment tactics he recommends companies embrace for more sustainable growth—and how to avoid the “over-burn and under-deliver” trap many tech startups fall into. 🔥 https://lnkd.in/eDCDbSUe
