Road To Success with Benedict Fowler

What does it REALLY take to build a multi-million-pound hypercar company, and why do so many fail before producing a single car?
In this episode of Road To Success, Ben sits down with Jens Sverdrup, Executive Chairman of Zenvo Automotive, to uncover the reality behind the world's most exclusive hypercar brands.
Having worked alongside some of the biggest names in the industry, including Koenigsegg and Pagani, Jens reveals why even £100 million might not be enough to launch a successful hypercar brand, why he's personally refused to sell cars to certain customers, and the shocking costs of owning and maintaining some of the world's rarest machines.
From his relationship with Christian von Koenigsegg to the development of the Zenvo Aurora, Jens shares the lessons he's learned over 30 years in the industry, the secrets behind building a successful hypercar brand, and why money alone will never guarantee success.
We also explore the world of billionaire collectors, hypercar investments, Shmee150's influence on Zenvo, and the sacrifices required to turn a childhood dream into reality.

David Natroshvili went from fearing he could lose everything to building Spribe into a multi-billion-dollar company behind Aviator, one of the biggest games in online gaming.

David reveals how he struggled to raise just $100,000, walked around a London gaming conference with nothing but an iPad, and ultimately scaled Aviator to tens of millions of monthly players and hundreds of thousands of bets every minute.

He also opens up about becoming a billionaire, sponsoring the UFC, life in Monaco, buying yachts and private jets, his Bugatti, LaFerrari and Pagani collection, raising children around extreme wealth, and the challenges that come when competitors try to copy your success.
