How I failed: “We were so convinced that we were among the few that would make it to IPO”, with multi-exit entrepreneur Touraj Parang

Touraj Parang today has multiple exits under his belt, has sat on both sides of the deal table - and has written a book literally about how to exit. But the reason he’s become such an authority on exits is what we’re discussing today - his failed startup Jaxtr. Jaxtr was a way to make phone calls over the internet in the period 2005 - 2009, before stuff like Whatsapp calling was really a thing. They’d done really well according to some metrics - they had 10 million users but then their world collapsed. Find out what happened and what Touraj learnt from it. If you have any feedback, we’d love to hear it. What would make the show better? hello@secretleaders.com  Sponsor links: yotpo.com
