    Defying the odds to find fintech app success: A conversation with Nays’ Ceyda Yalçın

    The leader behind one of Turkey’s top banking apps shares how an initiative from the country’s largest bank disrupted a crowded fintech market.

Ceyda Yalçın, leader of the Nays app, joins McKinsey’s Andrew Roth to explore how innovative features, strategic marketing, and simplicity helped Nays stand out and win over Turkey’s young, tech-savvy customers. Beyond growth, Yalçın delves into the challenges of maintaining a startup mindset, while continuing to innovate and scale in an increasingly competitive market.

    Harnessing AI to revolutionize healthcare: A conversation with Huma’s Dan Vahdat

    Dan Vahdat, the founder and CEO of Huma, is on a mission to change how the healthcare industry approaches research, treatment, and care. Growing up in a family of doctors, Dan saw how 24/7 treatment of patients often deteriorates as soon as they leave the hospital – which is typically when complications occur. To fix this, he started Huma in 2011, a London-based company focused on making healthcare more proactive. Huma’s digital platforms are now used by over 3,000 hospitals and millions of people around the world. Recently, Huma raised over $80 million in funding to support its new AI-powered platform. In this episode of The Venture, Dan talks with McKinsey’s Timothy Yap about how AI and wearable technology are playing a key role in improving healthcare and why success still relies more on people than technology.

    Targeting an untapped fintech market worth trillions: A conversation with Arta Finance’s Caesar Sengupta

    The CEO of a cutting-edge fintech explain how his start-up offers investment services once reserved for the ultra-wealthy to successful professionals. As the eight cofounders of Singapore-based Arta Finance got to know one other during their years together at Google, they recognized a massive market gap for investment services aimed people like themselves: successful professionals who were doing well, but not well enough to access top-tier financial services. With a total addressable market in the trillions, they decided to launch a fintech start-up offering these elite services at scale, using a digital platform powered by AI. The venture quickly attracted prominent investors and VC funding in excess of $92 million, is already doing business in the US, and will begin operating in Singapore by early 2024. Caesar Sengupta, CEO of Arta Finance, sat down with McKinsey’s Tomas Laboutka to discuss Arta’s mission to automate public market investing and provide access to alternative assets by offering clients the services of a digital private bank and family office.

    Now is the time to create new corporate ventures: A conversation with McKinsey’s Paul Jenkins

    The global coleader of Leap by McKinsey discusses the firm’s latest global survey, which finds that business leaders and investors are bullish on building new businesses. Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, businesses are increasingly enthusiastic about creating new ventures, according to McKinsey’s latest global survey on new-business building. More than 50 percent of surveyed CEOs cited new-business building as one of their top three priorities—unlike in the previous two years. And a majority of CFOs see business building as the single most likely strategic action on the corporate agenda. Investors are equally excited, valuing each dollar created in adjacent businesses at two times the rate of each one generated by the core business. In this episode of The Venture, Paul Jenkins, senior partner and global coleader of Leap by McKinsey, sat down with McKinsey’s Tomas Laboutka to discuss the survey’s findings, which include a priority on creating green and gen AI−related businesses, why the current climate favors incumbents, and the need to adopt a portfolio approach to corporate business building.  Comments and opinions expressed by interviewees are their own and do not represent or reflect the opinions, policies, or positions of McKinsey & Company or have its endorsement.

    Disrupting a mature industry with a digital solution: A conversation with Mlion’s Eric Leong

    The CEO of a leading Southeast Asian steel distributor explains why he decided to launch a venture designed to reuse steel, reduce carbon emissions, and disrupt his core business. If the many infrastructure projects across Southeast Asia have a common denominator, it’s steel. And in just 12 years, Singapore-based Mlion has become the region’s largest supplier of steel material for the construction of roads, bridges, ports, waterways, and underground tunnels, with offices in Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, and China. In 2021, Mlion launched GoListid, an online B2B steel marketplace designed to solve an industry-wide problem by allowing contractors to buy and sell used steel, saving money by eliminating the need to scrap it prematurely and reducing carbon emissions by prolonging its lifespan. Mlion chairman and CEO Eric Leong sat down with McKinsey’s Tomas Laboutka to discuss the creation of GoListid, why he thought it made sense to disrupt his core business, the importance of culture and talent, and his plans to eventually spin it off.

    Mitigating climate change with venture capital: A conversation with Wavemaker Impact’s Steve Melhuish

    The founding partner of a Southeast Asian VC fund explains his company’s global ambitions to create economic opportunity, promote sustainability, and reduce carbon emissions. Human activity began altering the climate in the mid-19th century, when the industrial revolution began unleashing unprecedented amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. But an innovative new VC climate tech venture builder is trying to mitigate some of the ensuing catastrophic climate change with a laudable and lofty goal: reducing 10 percent of global carbon emissions by 2035. Wavemaker Impact plans to reach this goal by funding what it calls 100x100 companies, sustainability start-ups able to mitigate 100 megatons of emissions in 10 years while generating $100 million in revenue. Wavemaker Impact founding partner Steve Melhuish sat down with McKinsey’s Tomas Laboutka to discuss the genesis of the venture, why it chose Southeast Asia as the first of 15 global hubs, and why business model innovation is sometimes more important than technological innovation.

    Uncovering untreated heart disease with AI and big data: A conversation with egnite’s Joel Portice and Edwards Lifesciences’ Don Bobo

    Cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer in every developed country, but only one in ten US patients with severe heart ailments received treatment in 2022. Egnite, a healthcare start-up, has ambitious plans to dramatically improve treatment of heart disease by harnessing the power of AI and big data to identify patients who fell through the cracks after being diagnosed. Egnite was spun out from Edwards Lifesciences, a California-based medical technology company, in early 2021. Egnite’s digital platform, CardioCare, steadily gained acceptance among clinicians, physicians, and hospitals, as the industry rapidly adopted new technology during the pandemic. Don Bobo, corporate vice president at Edwards, and Joel Portice, president and CEO of egnite, sat down with McKinsey’s Andrew Roth to discuss the CardioCare platform, the relationship between egnite and Edwards, and the lifesaving capabilities of AI and big data.
