Nick Moutter | EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Who Has Raised Over £40m Across Various Startups and Founder @ Moot | Empowering The Future Of Ecommerce

In this Episode we get to talk to Nick Moutter, who recently won the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Award for his work with Moot powering the next generation of ecommerce with deep tech and innovation that moves it radically beyond the current capabilities of Shopify.

We’ll listen to Nick comparing the grit, persistence and tenacity that a founder needs with his experiences when he was younger as an emerging professional footballer. We discuss how his own journey suggests that backing such a founder in the early stages with that grit over a longer arc and timeframe, will mean they are more likely to produce a ‘win’ and a long term return for their investors.

 

We also discuss how a credible introduction carries the majority of the weight of an initial engaging investor conversation and also often taking money from the wrong investor is worse than not receiving investment at all.

 

As we will with all guests on this Series 4 of FounderTech Decoded, we then walk through, explore, challenge, counteract and insight to The Switch Deck together. You can follow and hear Nick really put it through its paces and testing and pushing against some of its key assumptions up at www.propelia.com/switchdeck
