Some entrepreneurs are satisfied starting just one company; John Kent is now on his fourth.
Added to his entrepreneurial flair are stints as a senior executive at two major travel companies, most recently as UK managing director for lastminute.com.
Kent is founder and CEO of youtravel.com, and has recently invested in Aquis Hotels and Resorts.
With a track record of taking four newly established companies into mergers and acquisitions in less than 24 months, exits seem to be his thing.
Kent talks to The Get Funded Show about his greatest challenges and moments throughout his career as well as offering some advice for emerging entrepreneurs.
