NEW CONTENT WEEKLY | FOR FOUNDERS SCALING TO AN EXIT
The Only Podcast for Founders
Seeking a Multi-Million Dollar Exit
Hosted by founder, investor, and 12x exit veteran Josh Comrie, 2 Commas delivers unfiltered conversations with entrepreneurs who’ve sold their businesses for 7, 8, or 9 figures.
Learn what they did right, what nearly broke the deal, and how to prepare for your own life-changing exit.
Unlike generic business podcasts, Two Commas gives you:
- Behind-the-scenes insights from real exits, from early-stage rollups to nine-figure acquisitions
- The mistakes founders wish they’d known, in their own words
- A personal playbook for scaling faster and exiting on your terms when the time is right.
2 Commas is proudly partnered with JBWere New Zealand, the country's leading wealth management firm. JBWere works with successful entrepreneurs and business leaders to turn exit outcomes into enduring wealth strategies. They understand that the best exits aren't just about the number - they're about what that number enables you to create next.
NEW EPISODE THIS WEEK
He's invest $billions and not taken a single share of equity | Tim Wixon with Josh Comrie
Tim Wixon has spent 11 years at BNZ building something most traditional bankers thought was impossible: a lending model for pre-profit tech companies. Debt against recurring revenue. Interest-only during growth phases. No personal guarantees. No equity dilution. Over 1,700 NZ tech companies have been funded through that framework. Before BNZ, Tim was a lawyer, then a regulator at the FMA. He also co-founded a SaaS company, sat on its board, and was voted off it by his own co-founders.
That last part is the story that opens this episode and it's one of the more honest accounts of co-founder breakdown I've heard. Tim doesn't soften it. The trust broke, the relationship deteriorated, and the board process was used to remove him from something he built. He talks through what that felt like, what it cost him, and what he'd do differently with co-founder agreements and governance from day one.
The rest of the episode is essential listening for any NZ tech founder who has only ever thought about equity as a capital source. Tim breaks down exactly what BNZ looks for, why your P&L is the wrong document to lead with, and why the founders who come in earliest get the best outcomes. If you're building a SaaS business in New Zealand, this is the conversation to have before you walk into any funding discussion.
