This is an excerpt from the episode published on Sunday. In this episode, I have a conversation with Ashish, to explore the world of Corporate VC. He shares with us the differences between CVC and Institutional VC and what inspired PayPal to launch its CVC vehicle, as well as the primary goals of this initiative. We delve into the complexities of launching a CVC in the fast-paced and highly competitive startup ecosystem, and how PayPal's CVC differs from traditional venture capital firms in terms of investment strategy and approach to portfolio management. Ashish also reveals how PayPal ensures that the startups in which they invest receive the resources and support they need to succeed, and the value-add PayPal brings beyond just capital. We also learn about the evolution of the CVC landscape since PayPal launched its vehicle and how they have adapted their strategy to stay competitive in this changing environment.  In the second part of the podcast, Ashish provides an inside look at PayPal Ventures, including its geographic presence, figures, team, and value proposition. We discuss how PayPal evaluates potential investment opportunities and the criteria used to determine whether a startup is a good fit for PayPal's portfolio. Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©.

Without necessarily focusing on a finance lesson this episode, we have a top-notch course worthy of Thomas Piketty on the financialization of the economy and the related consequences. This discussion introduces us to the concept of positive and negative impact related companies and the ways in which Impak Analytics measures it. We look at the methodology applied to listed and issuer companies, as well as those that are not listed. This scale-up established in Canada and France counts Société Générale and Altalurra Ventures among its investors. Paul explains the nature of the partnership with the French financial group and how the relationship was formed. He also reflects on the shift from B2C to B2B and outlines the value proposition around the mission he and his team have set for themselves: to deploy the most rigorous impact analysis of the financial sector to redirect capital towards the economy with the most positive impact on our planet. We also dive into Impak Analytics' relationships with corporations and different stakeholders in the ecosystem, such as consultants.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©.

It's been a long time since we covered financial markets. This time, we deep dive into crypto ETPs. In this episode, I sit down with Bradley who explains the fundamental differences between ETNs, ETFs and ETCs. You'll discover that what the ETC Group has deployed is both a challenge from a regulatory perspective and from the back office of an organization point of view.   Created a few years ago, the ETC Group already released ETPs and ETFs on various crypto currencies and listed its products on various European exchanges such as Xetra and Euronext. We take a closer look at the process from prospectus creation to listing.  We also discuss the key role of the providers and especially that of the custodial and liquidity providers. Finally, we dive into the rise of these products that clearly straddle two worlds. I have tried to break it down as much as possible!   A great episode for those with a key interest in financial markets!Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©.

I’m sure you know by now how much I enjoy interviewing the VC community. They are incredibly nimble and have a strong entrepreneurial spirit that sets them apart. For this episode, I had the unique pleasure of chatting with Johan who is one of Europe's most renowned names in venture capital investment. Johan has achieved incredible success in the world of venture capital and entrepreneurship--and now he's here to tell us all about his journey with Creandum. As diversity is a top priority for me and my podcast, I had to discuss this with Johan. We delved into the lofty diversity goals that his venture capital firm has set, particularly in relation to women on their teams and investments. Johan tells us about the implementation of their diversity index, offers a wealth of relevant data and provides us with tangible results to date. We couldn't pass up this VC's flagship investments in FinTechs such as Swan and Trade Republic.  Out of the 120 companies that Creandum supports, it's no surprise that several have become unicorns.  We discuss their unique selling proposition (USP) as well as the positioning of the manager in European ecosystems.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©.
