Скачать или смотреть From Deloitte to Exit: Why Founders Leap Before They’re Ready

Alexander Spahn is a former Deloitte consultant turned serial founder who went from strategy decks to building — and selling — a venture-backed startup.

In this clip, he traces the exact moment many high performers quietly recognise: success on paper isn’t the same as ownership in reality. After five years in consulting — packed with cost-cutting, M&A, and optimisation — sustainability wasn’t the pull. Autonomy was. The urge to build something real finally outweighed the safety of prestige.

His story moves fast: a chance hackathon meeting, a virtual events platform launched just before the pandemic, rapid traction, funding, painful layoffs — and ultimately an acquisition by a major telecoms group. The lesson isn’t romantic. Entrepreneurship isn’t cleaner or calmer — but it is yours.

A grounded take on why people leave “perfect” careers — and what it really costs to bet on yourself.
