In this episode, Sumit Aneja recounts his entrepreneurial journey from luxury shaving start-up founder at Yale to search fund entrepreneur in Canada. Sumit outlines his unique experience acquiring a tech company, raising capital amidst competing searchers, and dealing with the pressures of closing, all while juggling key family milestones, culminating in his migration to Montreal and the acquisition of Voxco.
Some advice from Sumit:
'It has to feel right to you. If somebody’s doing it for an easy lifestyle or glamour, those are clearly the wrong reasons to do it, I can tell you this much.'
'Running a company is hard but getting to run a company at such an early age is a privilege and it should be treated as such. It comes with a lot of responsibility so you have to be ready for it.'
