We present another entrepreneur’s tale.
Specialist Latin America panel company Livra was sold a year ago to Ipsos after nine years of profitable growth.
It was started by Argentinian students Diego Meller and MartÃn Añazco at the height of the dotcom boom when they were only 19- and 20-years old respectively.
Diego is now London-based so we managed the above 8-minute chat with him to find out how the company got started, how they turned it round to generate healthy revenues, and why they sold when they did and why to Ipsos among a number of interested buyers.
Enjoy!

We’ve previously featured SmallBizPod, the useful podcast series for entrepreneurs here.
Well, if you want to listen to Steve Phillips from Spring Research and us offer some very basic research tips for entrepreneurs then pop over to here.

Sir James Dyson is one of John Kearon’s heroes. Both are entrepreneurs. And both believe passionately in the power of supreme engineering innovation to deliver progress. So when the opportunity came up to have a chat with Iain Carruthers, brand consultant and now second time author, this time of an authorised biography of Sir James, we jumped at the chance to get the two Dyson aficionados in conversation. Iain’s managed to pull together a fascinating series of insights that should appeal to entrepreneurs and brand marketers alike. Once you’ve heard this, dive into the book: Great Brand Stories: Dyson

Entrepreneurship: “The satisfaction of building something from nothing“
(Gian Fulgoni)
THE LEADERSHIP SHOW Not all leaders are entrepreneurs. And not all entrepreneurs make good leaders. But, my oh my, when you get leaders that ARE good entrepreneurs, you can be sure that innovation and success are close behind. So sit down and prepare to be inspired by some anecdotes and wise words from three entrepreneurial leaders of our time – Chet Zalesky, Clare Bruce and Gian Fulgoni, Gian being a serial entrepreneur. Hosted by none other than Simon Chadwick, himself a former leader at Gfk NOP and now a strategic advisor. Part of our new leadership series, look out for more episodes
