Selling Iversity to Springer Nature - Hannes Klöpper on making an exit during though times
Description
In this episode of The Big Exit Show we talk to serial entrepreneur Hannes Klöpper. Hannes is currently building a new company called HelloBetter, but sold his previous company that specialized in Massive Online Open Courses - Iversity - in 2017 to Springer Nature. It wasn't the exit you hope for as a founder when starting a company, but nonetheless a story with many valuable lessens:
- The challenges when building a company with large education institutions as a customer
- When you know it might be the right time to hand over the company
- Why you should make an exit, even if the forecast of the company isn't looking too bright
In The Big Exit Show our hosts Johan van Mil and Remy Gieling talk to tech entrepreneurs about scaling their companies and the lessons and pitfalls of a successful exit.
