Henry de Zoete - The best ever deal on Dragons Den

This episode is one of two worlds colliding.  Today's guest, Henry de Zoete, similarly began his career as a special advisor in government- in the service of Michael Gove in the Education Department.Since leaving government, Henry went on to land the best money-to-equity deal ever seen on Dragons Den - a record which still stands to this day. Henry was the co-founder of Look After My Bills (LAMB)- a revolutionary startup that tackled the energy industry overcharging loyal customers by automatically switching them onto better deals.LAMB was then bought by the Go Compare Group earlier this year and so we hear Henry's perspective on life as an angel investor, advice for how to properly exit your startup and what lessons from politics he brought with him to the private sector.As we get prepared for our 4th and 5th series, we are running some customer feedback of our own - so if you would be prepared to answer some questions then please get in touch via our website or via hello@jobsofthefuture.co You can follow us on social media: Instagram: @Jimmysjobs Twitter: @Jimmysjobs And most importantly on LinkedIn Subscribe so you don't miss any new episodes, releasing every Wednesday.You can sign up to Jimmy's Substack here for weekly content on the future of work, technology, and politicsFor more information on partnering with us please visit our partnerships page here.Also make sure you subscribe to The Shift, you can find it here on Spotify or on Apple Podcasts.
