In this episode of the bizval Podcast, our co-founder and CEO, Graham Stephen, sits down with Johan Minnaar—an actuary who traded corporate stability for the challenge of entrepreneurship.
Johan shares his personal journey of stepping out of the boardroom and into the unknown, unpacking the lessons he’s learned, the missteps he’d avoid, and the mindset shifts that shaped his path. From funding and valuation to risk and resilience, this episode delivers honest, experience-backed wisdom for anyone building or advising a business.
Why does valuation matter more than most founders realise?
What makes a startup thrive—or fail?
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, advisor, or investor, this conversation offers practical takeaways and fresh perspective.
Why it matters:
At bizval, we believe business owners deserve clarity, not complexity. Every business valuation we deliver whether complimentary or paid is reviewed by a human, focused on helping entrepreneurs make better decisions, and designed to serve as a tool, not a trap.
