Untalented's host Ollie Scott sits down with Jim Houghton from Waypoint, one of the most experienced M&A advisors in the creative industry, and someone who has seen more agencies born, scaled, bought and sold than almost anyone else.
But this isn’t a finance podcast.
It’s the conversation creative people never get, but absolutely need.
Jim breaks down:
• why UK agencies fear failure
• how creative people massively underestimate their own power
• why early equity dilution ruins lives
• what actually triggers agency sales
• how private equity suddenly took over the creative industry
• when a business is genuinely “sellable”
• and the biggest mistake founders make before talking to an advisor
If you’re a creative, a founder, or someone inside a company that’s just been acquired, this episode will change the way you see the entire business side of creativity.
