Matthew Scullion is not your typical CEO.
He’s the co-founder of Manchester-based Matillion, which joined the ranks of UK unicorns in 2021 when a Series E fundraise took its valuation to $1.5bn.
He tells The Dealmaker Uncut podcast how he doesn’t obsess about being a unicorn and says companies should stop blaming investors if they can’t raise funds.
Scullion also talks about:
- The game-changing pivot to making their own software
- The rise of artificial intelligence
- Why US founders don’t talk about exit – unlike their UK counterparts
- His fear about leaving anything on the table
After the break, Jonathan answers listener questions.
