Selling Exact and Yuki - Arco van Nieuwland about exiting multiple software companies

In this episode of The Big Exit Show we talk to Arco van Nieuwland who started the accounting software giant Exact in 1984 which he sold many year later. He started another SaaS-accounting tool called Yuki which was sold to Visma last year. In this episode you will learn: 

• What it was like starting and scaling a software company in the 80s
• Why Arco started a new company while still being one of the largest shareholders in Exact
• Why you shouldn't always sell to the highest bidder
• How much he eventually sold Yuki for to Visma...

In The Big Exit Show our hosts Johan van Mil and Remy Gieling talk to tech entrepreneurs about scaling their companies and the lessons and pitfalls of a successful exit.
