  • Summary

  • Join us as we peek behind the curtain of what it’s really like to buy and sell tech start-ups and entertainment companies - the potential pitfalls, how it impacts company culture, and the emotional journey of handing over control of a company you built from the ground up. eOne’s Darren Throop (President & CEO) and Secret Location’s Ryan Andal (President & Co-Founder) discuss eOne's purchase of Secret Location in 2016 and Hasbro's acquisition of eOne in 2019, including Darren's first conversation with the late Brian Goldner that convinced him to sell. This episode also features the challenging and personal story of retail tech company PopCom's 2020 purchase of A.I. driven survey company Wyzerr and what happens when you don't quite get your fairytale ending.
