Agglomerate: from idea to IPO in 12 months

From serial entrepreneur and M&A expert Jeremy Harbor, and the author of Progressive Partnerships Callum Laing: a revolutionary book that debunks the myths around entrepreneurship and proposes a disruptive new collaborative model for rapidly growing small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

While the world obsesses over big multinational corporations and the ‘unicorn’ tech startups, real small businesses lead by talented entrepreneurs have been allowed to starve.

The ‘one-in-a-million’ successful, wealthy entrepreneurs are out applying their creative, entrepreneurial know-how to solving the world’s problems, but there remains a huge pool of talent whose ideas are wasted because of a broken investment universe. To empower these entrepreneurs a new investment model is needed.

In response, serial entrepreneurs and SME experts, Jeremy Harbour and Callum Laing have developed a revolutionary new model, Agglomeration™. The model was created to democratise wealth and solve the problems entrepreneurs face in growing their businesses and creating value. An Agglomeration combines the best parts of a traditional M&A roll-up with the benefits of an IPO and is inherently a public listed company exclusively for the use of the SME.

By empowering talented entrepreneurs through Agglomeration and giving them the tools they need to succeed, there is the potential to change the way SMEs grow and create value and ultimately change the world for the better.

“Thank-you for this book - I have always been fascinated by the dizzy heights of the stock market and IPO world, also excited and amazed hearing the stories of fellow entrepreneurs selling their shares for so many millions, whilst obtaining scale and liquidity, alas I had thought that was just for those ‘special ones’ and not me, but after reading this book I can dream again and believe that yes one of those stories could be about me one day.”
