“The first rule of business is to make a profit.”
In this episode of Profit Meets Purpose, I sit down with Terry Hewett, an experienced entrepreneur turned successful investor. Terry has an extensive portfolio of companies on whose boards he serves and is the founder of Copper Bottom Investments. With decades of experience working alongside a wide range of founders, he knows what it takes to make it and has a sharp eye for spotting those who will stand out.
This episode is a must-listen for our founder community, a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the mindset of the investors you're aiming to attract.
We talk about Terry’s journey from engineering to founding, and selling, a major marketing agency, and how those experiences have shaped his approach to helping businesses grow and raise investment. He shares lessons learned from navigating mergers, acquisitions, and the ever-evolving investment landscape, as well as his perspective on why founders need to be coachable and why realistic valuations are critical.
Terry dives into the current investment climate, from the risks of greenwashing in sustainability to the potential pitfalls of AI investing, and why building commercially viable solutions is more important than ever. We explore why the UK’s entrepreneurial spirit still gives it an edge globally, and why thinking internationally is crucial for startups today.
This is a must-listen for anyone who wants real-world advice on raising smart capital, staying adaptable as a founder, and building a business that’s profitable and purposeful.
