Bulletproof Entrepreneur #75 The Nicer Side of Private Equity with Matt Taylor, CEO of Rockpool.
Welcome back to the Bulletproof Entrepreneur podcast - reverse engineering your successful business scale, sale and life on the other side.
What I’ve learned over the years is that not every founder wants to sell up and exit their business completely - some prefer to take some ‘chips off the table’ and go again to make the most of the opportunities they see.
That's where today’s guest comes in.
Matt Taylor is the founder and co-owner of Rockpool, a different kind of business partner for ambitious owners of SMEs - perhaps a more collaborative version of traditional private equity.
- During our conversation, he breaks down the secrets to unlocking the real value in your business through recruiting specific people and improving key processes.
- Matt explained the support and resources his company offers to founders and entrepreneurs, helping them achieve their full potential.
- We also talk about incentives, employee ownership, and why trust, not regulation, is the real engine of productivity.
As a seasoned operator in the UK SME market, he’s also got some excellent advice for Rachel Reeves ahead of the next budget - well worth listening to what he’d like to tell her!
This is a great conversation with a ton of valuable advice if you’re scaling towards a successful exit but not ready to retire and sit on a beach quite yet.
So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr Matt Taylor.
