Justin Hamilton: I built it, then bought it back
08 Oct 2025
What if the smartest way to start a company… is inside someone else’s?In this episode of Two Commas, I sit down with Justin Hamilton, co-founder of Davanti, to unpack one of the most unusual founding stories I’ve come across — how three consultants built a thriving, entrepreneurial business inside Spark, then bought it back, scaled it, and sold it in one of New Zealand’s most impressive consulting exits.We dig into how Justin and his partners turned corporate constraints into creative freedom, the art of building culture within a giant, and how to navigate buyouts, partnerships, and earnouts without losing your sanity.If you’ve ever wondered how to build something exceptional inside a big organisation — or how to know when it’s time to take it out on your own — this episode will give you the playbook.Subscribe to the 2 Commas Journal to receive business insights and real exit lessons straight to your inbox https://bit.ly/47lfcPUDownload the first 2 chapters of my upcoming book, 2 Commas, for free here https://bit.ly/3WisuYoFollow me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/joshcomrieVisit https://www.joshcomrie.com/ to see how I can help you on your business journey.
