Great interview article for people who are interested in Scopely's acquisition story!
The latest issue of Inc. Magazine is on stands now 👉 featuring Scopely! Our co-CEO Walter Driver chatted with Kevin Ryan about Scopely's 40x growth and the process of closing one of the biggest video game deals ever. Walter shared, “As a founder, you are so emotionally invested in the business you've built, but being emotionally reactive ... in the deal process is counterproductive. You need what #JohnKeats called negative capability: the ability to exist comfortably in uncertainty without trying to prematurely resolve open issues. That requires a tremendous amount of self-control. You're representing a lot of people – your partners, your employees, your investors. Try to make the right decision at every juncture without fear or desire clouding your judgment."
