Most founders scale their business without ever thinking about how an investor would see it. Andrew Jessett has stood on both sides of that line, first as the founder who built and sold a mining technology business to Komatsu, and now as Head of Innovation Funds at Resource Capital Funds (RFC), where he evaluates and backs METS businesses.

In this live fireside chat, Andrew shares what changes when you swap the founder's hat for the investor's: what actually makes a small-to-medium METS business scalable and attractive to investors, why consistency and reliability matter more than growth alone, and the lessons from his own journey that he'd pass on to any owner thinking about what's next.

Wherever you sit today, running day-to-day operations or thinking seriously about scale, this session will change how you think about what makes a METS business genuinely investable.

You'll leave with:

• A first-hand account of building a mining technology business from a single invention to a Komatsu acquisition
• An investor's checklist for what makes a METS business scalable and attractive to acquirers
• Why consistency and reliability, not just growth, are what investors actually look for
• Lessons from Andrew's own journey that apply whether you're scaling, raising, or considering an exit
