Navigating Partnership Dynamics in Startup Growth

Timo Armoo is a post-exit prodigy, who sold his first business at the age of 17, then aced an 8-figure exit at 27. He’s a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Huffington Post’s Entrepreneur of The Year, and one of The Times' most influential media figures. Beyond TV and book deals, he’s a magnetic speaker and the incredible friend who pushed me to launch this podcast. Timo’s here to inspire us with his no-nonsense wisdom on post-exit success in life and business.
