Thorsten Unger has been building companies since 1999, starting as a video game developer in Germany and eventually leading the German Games Industry Association as its chief lobbyist. In this episode, Thorsten shares the story behind his two exits, what went wrong the first time around, and why doing your homework on the buyer matters more than most founders realize. He gets candid about the ethical tensions in the gaming industry, from microtransactions targeting kids to the real debate around violent games in Germany. Now running a trusted advisory helping founders restructure, raise capital, and sell, Thorsten breaks down why planning your exit early, monitoring market disruption, and building lasting relationships with buyers can make or break the deal.
