把公司出售给Charterhouse Capital Partners后,他仍担任公司的非执行董事长。2017年公司上市后,他转而担任非执行董事。他如今不再持有Card Factory任何股份,也不再担任任何职位,不过他承认每次经过门店时都会有一种骄傲感。“它仍然是那种简单的标识。我记得我是坐在客厅里设计它的。”
Sometimes founders and companies realise they made a mistake in parting company. Silicon Valley already has a tradition of founder comebacks. Steve Jobs returned to save Apple from bankruptcy in 1997. Michael Dell left his eponymous computer maker in 2004 but returned three years later and in 2013 bought the company back from the public market.
有时,创始人和公司意识到,离开公司是错的。硅谷已经有创始人回归的传统。1997年,史蒂夫?乔布斯(Steve Jobs)回到苹果公司(Apple),让它避免了破产的命运。2004年,迈克尔?戴尔(Michael Dell)离开了他的同名电脑公司,但3年后回归,2013年从公开市场回购了公司。
Rather than exit the business, many entrepreneurs decide to take an equity injection and carry on at the helm. This allows them to take some cash, diversifying risk, and receiving money for expansion. But with private equity usually wanting a return within five to seven years there is pressure to find fresh investors or accept a full sale.
很多企业家不愿离开公司,而是决定引进股权投资,自己则继续执掌公司。这样他们可以拿到一些收益、分散风险并获得资金用于扩张。但私人股本投资公司通常希望在5到7年内获得回报,因此他们有找到新的投资者或接受整体收购的压力。
