Building for Shareholder Value - building and exiting a tech business

Join Oxford Leaders in Tech (OxLiT) for an exclusive panel on 'Building for Shareholder Value'. Our expert panel of Oxfordshire business leaders will share insights on building and exiting successful technology scale-ups. We will be joined by the following panellists:

Charley Darbishire: Founded Educake, a software-as-a-service business selling to schools, in 2011 and scaled for 12 years before selling to Twinkl Ltd in 2023.

Karo Moilanen: Founder CTO of TheySay, a spin-out from the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford, that provided advanced Emotional AI and market-leading NLP and text analytics products and services.

As a technical founder, Karo went through a transformational, 9(+)-year academic-to-entrepreneur journey from "day zero" all the way to exit when TheySay was acquired in January 2018 by Aptean, Inc., a portfolio company of U.S. private equity firm Vista Equity Partners.

In Karo's post-acquisition role at Aptean, he provided specialist technology, R&D, systems integration, and strategy advice and consultancy services.

Adam Reynolds: Founder and CEO of Webexpenses, which was acquired by ELMO for £29m in 2020, where Adam became the Managing Director. Adam exited the business at the end of 2023 and is now a Managing Partner at Invincible Software Holdings.

Malin Svanberg Larsson: Partner at Freeths, Malin specialises in advising businesses on a wide range of corporate matters including mergers and acquisitions, management buy-ins and buy-outs, corporate reorganisations and restructurings, and early stage investment.
