From Corporate to Catering Weddings: Navigating Entrepreneurship with Nick Patrick
Manage episode 423445375 series 3567859
In this episode, we welcomed Nick Patrick, the Managing Partner at Coda Capital, to discuss his journey from corporate America to purchasing his first business, a catering and wedding venture. The conversation delved into the nuances of transitioning from buyer to seller, exploring the ecosystem, pros, and cons of the catering industry.
This episode highlights the unconventional path Patrick took in acquiring the business, which wasn't the conventional ARR model but relied on strategic thinking and operational expertise. The discussion also touched on the significance of structuring deals with sellers, identifying win-win scenarios, and the mindset of not being wedded to a business indefinitely, as Patrick eventually sold the venture to pursue other opportunities.
Overall, the episode provided valuable insights into entrepreneurship, deal-making, and strategic exits.
