/ 54:18/E53
E53: THIS WEEK'S GUEST - MATT BLUMBERG
In this episode, Matt talks about how:
  • Creating better personal relationships with acquirers can de-risk M&A transactions
  • To bounce back from a failed M&A transaction
  • Building a company with a work/life balance in mind can lead to a great outcome

GUEST BIO:
Matt Blumberg, a former management consultant, a venture capitalist and early employee who helped MovieFone move into the Internet age and get acquired by AOL.

With his well-rounded training, Matt’s biggest professional success came by co-founding Return Path, a company that provides email intelligence solutions for marketers. Matt and his team grew the company to 500 employees and a hundred million in revenue. Along his 20 year journey, Matt was approached four times to sell the business, and after four failed attempts for various reasons he finally completed a sale to Validity, a consumer data company, in 2019.

Today, Matt is the co-founder and CEO of Bolster, a talent marketplace to match highly experienced executives with fractional and project based roles to help startups scale.

We hope you enjoy his conversation with Exitwise Co-Founder & CEO Todd Sullivan!
