How To Build A $70M HoldCo Empire From Scratch
January 8, 2026
In this episode of Confessions of a B2B Entrepreneur, Tom Hunt is joined by Sid Jashnani, Founder at Momentum. They discuss the "crash landing" of Sid's first retail venture and how managing a €200 million project for Nokia Siemens helped him identify a gap in the B2B tech market. Sid explains using EOS as a "defibrillator moment" to professionalise his agency and step back from daily operations. We explore his transition into building a 15-company HoldCo through vertical integration, where he launched 14 complementary brands to own the supply chain. Sid breaks down his 50/50 equity framework for hiring top-tier leaders and how he now balances coaching in his pursuit of Ikigai. This episode offers a definitive blueprint for scaling with discipline and moving from operator to investor.
