The Dealmaker Uncut

Episode 9: ‘Stop blaming investors!’ – Unicorn CEO bites back

Listen Later

Matthew Scullion is not your typical CEO.

He’s the co-founder of Manchester-based Matillion, which joined the ranks of UK unicorns in 2021 when a Series E fundraise took its valuation to $1.5bn.

He tells The Dealmaker Uncut podcast how he doesn’t obsess about being a unicorn and says companies should stop blaming investors if they can’t raise funds.

 Scullion also talks about:

  • The game-changing pivot to making their own software
  • The rise of artificial intelligence 
  • Why US founders don’t talk about exit – unlike their UK counterparts
  • His fear about leaving anything on the table

    • After the break, Jonathan answers listener questions.
