Summary

When is the right time to exit your business? For Suneera Madhani, it was after taking her fintech startup, Stax, from idea to unicorn - a moniker coined for the rare privately-held company that reaches a billion dollar valuation. After selling to private equity and finding a new CEO to lead the company’s next stage of growth, Suneera knew she wanted to return back to the building phase of business. Taking everything she knew about building a billion dollar business, Suneera’s set out to do it again, this time with Worth AI - a company creating the first ever credit score for businesses. In today’s case study on lessons from building a billion dollar brand, Suneera shares the wisdom she took from her exit that she’s applying to this new venture, so you can borrow her hard-earned lessons & hindsight as well.
