Episode 5 | Why a Multi-Million Pound Founder rejected Venture Capital
“Debt is slavery,” says Gtech founder Nick Grey—who built a multi-million pound business without taking a loan. In this episode, he joins Warwick Business School’s Professor Simon Barnes to explore the hard truths about venture capital, risk, and starting smart.
They discuss why so many start-ups fail, how to survive the “valley of death,” and why great leadership starts with listening—not ego—but about building teams, listening well, and delivering value to customers.
