About this episode
The episode features Adam Boyle discussing the journey of Pegasus from a mining safety startup to a global player and its successful exit.
Join us as we speak with Adam Boyle, CEO of EngageRM and founder of Pegasus, an Australian tech company that started in mining safety and grew into a global player before a successful exit. We'll hear how Pegasus got its start doing labour hire and training in the mining industry before expanding into software like digital safety inductions. When the mining downturn hit, Pegasus pivoted to new industries like retail, developing contractor management portals for major companies like Woolworths. Just as the company was preparing to expand internationally, COVID-19 struck, but Pegasus was able to quickly adapt its software to help businesses manage new pandemic protocols. This agility led to continued growth and acquisition offers, culminating in a +$150 million sale to Avetta in late 2020. Tune in for the fascinating story of Pegasus' journey from local startup to global exit, how the company and its employees benefited financially, and what founder Adam Boyle is up to now as an investor and advisor in the tech sector.
