Cask & Convos with David Williams | MD Kidder Williams |Startups, Investments & Billion Dollar Moves

What makes a great deal? Why do some startups thrive while others stall at the boardroom table? In this episode of #caskandconvos , we sit down with legendary Australian dealmaker @David Williams, Managing Director of  @kidderwilliamsltd  to unpack the strategy behind #billiondollars deals — from #vegemite 's iconic return to scaling #medtech and #agribusiness ventures.

💡 Key takeaways include: How to structure a board that actually adds value Why Australian investors aren’t as risk-averse as we think The real reason startups succeed (hint: it’s not just the pitch deck) Why understanding your own strengths matters more than chasing a sexy idea What early-stage founders should do before chasing big capital Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or just love a sharp business brain — this conversation is packed with gold.
