In this episode, I interview MIKE HENEBERY Investment Expert and Entrepreneur
-Acquired over 50 companies in private transactions.
-Key member of Gresham PE team - led the spin-out from Zurich Financial Services and raised £600m from c.20 LPs (largely insurance companies and pension funds) between 2003 and 2006.
-Led 15 separate deals between 2000 and 2007 investing £200m and returning over £450m to investors. -Has previously founded/co-founded two start-ups:
-Was the founder and promoter of Palio Capital 2010-2013, raising c.£100m for a new Private Credit fund (London and Guernsey) that narrowly missed an IPO in 2012 and subsequently became a Europe division’s largest credit hedge fund. –
A co-founder and c.20% shareholder of Fabify.com, a platform for apparel brands to ethically exit fashion overstock to cost-conscious consumers.
Forecast revenues are c.£30m in 2021, and an IPO is planned for 2022/23.
Fabify acquires new consumers for less than €10; every consumer repeat purchases 7x in the first 12 months, so >80% of forecast revenues are repeat purchases.
Most of the operations (warehousing and order fulfillment are outsourced). All social media performance advertising is designed, planned, and executed in-house.
The Fabify scale-up has given Mike a deep experience and understanding of how social media performance advertising works.
Authored a book about his career as an investor and entrepreneur, publishing in Q2 2021: Wrestling with Unicorns
