How the UK was Omazed
About this episode
Matt Pohlson discusses his journey in building Omaze and shares insights on entrepreneurship and storytelling.
Omaze's co-founder and CEO Matt Pohlson learnt the art of storytelling in Hollywood and used it to build a £200m revenue, for-profit, prize-draw business. He tells Sir Richard Harpin how two near-death experiences made him more determined to grow the company and how intuition is more powerful than he realised. The sweepstake specialist is a rare example of a business idea born in the US that found success when it moved to the UK, but why does the UK not match the US's growth-mindset? Also, Pohlson gives his top three tips for founders.
