Jimmy's Jobs of the Future

Henry de Zoete - The best ever deal on Dragons Den


Listen Later

This episode is one of two worlds colliding. 

Today's guest, Henry de Zoete, similarly began his career as a special advisor in government- in the service of Michael Gove in the Education Department.

Since leaving government, Henry went on to land the best money-to-equity deal ever seen on Dragons Den - a record which still stands to this day.

Henry was the co-founder of Look After My Bills (LAMB)- a revolutionary startup that tackled the energy industry overcharging loyal customers by automatically switching them onto better deals.

LAMB was then bought by the Go Compare Group earlier this year and so we hear Henry's perspective on life as an angel investor, advice for how to properly exit your startup and what lessons from politics he brought with him to the private sector.
