Chasing The Multiple

Welcome to the very first episode of Chasing the Multiple Show! Hosted by Austin Moss and Adam Weiss, this podcast is dedicated to uncovering the secrets of scaling businesses, building strategic partnerships, and maximizing value in every venture.

In this episode, we sit down with Han Butler, a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and business operator with an incredible story. Han went from being employee #100 to helping scale his company to over 5,000 employees across the globe. He shares his journey from the early days of bootstrapping through economic downturns to raising capital and structuring strategic partnerships that propelled his business forward.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How Han transitioned from programming during the dot-com boom to leadership and scaling large teams.
• The key challenges of raising capital and how to vet investors properly.
• Lessons learned from multiple LOI (Letter of Intent) negotiations—and how to avoid wasting time.
• The abundance vs. scarcity mindset in decision-making and reinvesting in your business.
• The importance of tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) to sustain growth.
• Why choosing the right partners and investors is more valuable than just getting funding.
• The power of BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) and how it helps companies scale efficiently.
• The role of BlackBay Venture Capital and how it provides both financial and strategic support to founders.

Key Takeaways:

• Raising capital is about more than just money—it’s about finding the right strategic partners who align with your business vision.
• Avoiding concentration risk is crucial when scaling. Diversifying revenue streams prevents overreliance on a single client or industry.
• Hiring the right people and creating a strong company culture are key drivers of long-term success.
• Scaling successfully requires shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mindset—being proactive rather than reactive in decision-making.
