Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Justin Hamilton: I built it, then bought it back
Q: How did you come to found Devante inside Spark and what was the initial selling point?
We saw a clear opportunity to build a differentiated consulting business with a strong people focus inside a larger corporate, using Spark as a launch pad while maintaining independence and local autonomy to serve the New Zealand market.
Shane Young: A massive product failure became our vital exit multiplier
Q: What was the turning point that made you decide to go all-in on manufacturing in-house?
The failed launch in Australia where products separated and leaked forced us to realize we needed control over production quality and timing. We built a tiny factory, brought in experienced staff, and established direct manufacturing to ensure consistency and speed to market, which ultimately unlocked our ability to scale and exit.
Joaquin Cordero: My partners were secretly funding our biggest competitor
Q: What has stayed the same about entrepreneurship over three decades?
The core driver is the passion to solve a problem and create value, along with the drive to build something that lasts beyond the founder, even as tools and markets change with AI and digital shifts.
Cornelius Boertjens: I built to sell, then wondered, what next?
Q: How did you manage expanding to Australia and coordinating teams across countries before the sale?
They structured roles clearly, used a shadow equity approach to involve a key Australian manager, and navigated cross-border sales and leadership to maintain performance while scaling.
Jonny Mirkin: Before I sold it, it hospitalised me
Q: What led to the final acquisition and what would have changed to reach nine-figure exits?
The decision to exit came after years of growth volatility and governance challenges; better governance, timing, and stronger alignment on strategy and coaching would have increased the odds of a larger exit.
