Every startup wants to be a unicorn. If you’re the founder of a new tech company, it’s easy to see the attraction of a $1B valuation.

We get asked frequently at present about what the global downturn and current fundraising environment means for us, a growing company in the UK’s private Fintech/Regtech sector.

It’s hard to think of a more successful example of growth via strategic acquisition, or ‘buy-and-build’, than Berkshire Hathaway.
