From Pixar to Encompass: Simon Bax on scale-up challenges in tech

I co-founded FirstCapital in 1999 because I felt that there was a real opportunity with high growth technology companies to deliver deals with that extra edge, that extra insight which delivers more value. I wanted to work with great people, and to deliver exceptional results for our clients. And we've been successfully doing that for the last decade and a half. I'm usually found in the offices of our clients, networking with entrepreneurs and CEOs across Europe, or in Silicon Valley in the offices of the decision makers of corporate buyers and investors, discussing their strategies and priorities. I'm always looking to join the dots, to see the connections that others don't, to think clearly in a confusing and fast moving landscape, to create a win-win deal. I judge our success by what our clients say. They consistently tell us that we have better access to and knowledge of the strategic buyers than anyone else. They also tell us that we excel in achieving their objectives and in delivering great deals. And they tell us that they like working with us, that they like our enthusiasm and teamwork, they value our strategic insight and strong deal framework, and that they appreciate our commitment to getting the deal done.
