In this episode of The Exit: Zoe Kalar, founder and CEO of WeAre8, shares insights from her remarkable journey through three successful exits over 35 years, including one for $100 million.
Starting her first company at age 21, Zoe discusses the challenges of early exits, including painful earn-outs and misaligned values with acquirers.
She shares crucial lessons from her experiences across different markets - from her first bootstrapped company in Australia to building a transformative business in China, and later creating a data infrastructure company that became the backbone of media trading in the US.
Currently leading WeAre8, a safe social media platform that shares advertising revenue with users, she stresses that successful exits are less about the financial outcome and more about the journey and the team.
