Fuckup Nights Toronto | Ben Walters | December 2019

Описание: Meet Ben Walters! 👋 Ben is the General Manager at @hopper ✈️, which is a platform for travellers to book low cost airline flights. Previously, he was the CEO and founder of Feedback.⁠
⁠
When faced with the reality that your business has a poor business model, what do you do and how do you solve it? 💼 Ben made the decision to pivot the direction of Feedback to encourage growth in different areas. ⁠
⁠
Many Fuckups happened along the way and eventually the business reached a point where the only options were to shut down or to be acquired. Unfortunately, acquisitions aren’t always as glamorous as they’re made out to be. Ben refers to his experience as “acqui-hired”. In this video, Ben honestly shares what he’s learned about the startup acquisition process.

Thanks to Absurd Visuals for the video.
