KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I started my career as an investment banker in equity capital, moving between top management positions and trading algorithmic and self-derivatives. I then moved into wealth management, so I have a good knowledge of the banking and finance sector, particularly in terms of digitalization. Invyo is a data-driven startup that uses machine learning to help private equity firms and VC to take investment opportunities to compare the data of the different kinds of investment they can do and also to detect what is wrong in terms of competition. We provide a solution for everyone from VCs, principles and partners to be driven and empowered by the data so they donāt waste time collecting the data themselves as they have all the elements possible.
- We have had so many opportunities in the last five years with the explosion of startups, business models, etc. Itās a lot of work for investment actors ā especially as theyāre all a little bit old-fashioned ā they invest in technology. Still, they donāt apply the technology to enable it to be augmented by the data as investor and private equity actors.
- Being an influencer or the term influencing doesnāt matter. Why? I started by following others, who were all very kind to me and gave me advice, and pushed me to publish more, and I just want to share my insight and knowledge to educate people in the ways of financial literacy. By chance, a lot of people like what I publish.
- AI will be an up trend for the next ten years. With this kind of upwards trend, it is clearly a big top trend for the coming years. AI will also augment nearly every job in every business across industries. It will be used to manage and automate the complex inventory management processes that happen behind the scenes. Itās impressive in terms of customer experience because AI/machine learning can improve their experiences, and more or less, with FinTech solutions, you can have a priceless experience.
BEST MOMENTS
āWe use a machine learning element to adapt solutions to the investment cases. Each is a little bit different. The philosophy of one partner will be different from that of another one. This is the beauty of machine learning with data.ā
āI spent many years in London, and I know the French accent is very successful with women š !!ā
āArtificial intelligence will become real in organizations and enable any business to leverage its power to create more intelligent products and services. We saw this recently with the birth of OpenAI. This is the start. I didnāt expect it to come so far so early.ā
āThe metaverse is a concrete application in the GameFi (gaming finance) industry, where we see a lot of big developments. It's a $300 billion market with a lot of exchanges of payments. I donāt care for the term āmetaverse,ā but itās become a shorthand for a more immersive internet. Itās expected to add $5 trillion to the global economy by 2030, and we will see by the end of 2023 an indication of what kind of direction the metaverse will go for the next decade.ā

ABOUT THE HOST
There are over 140,000 FinTech ventures out there, including FinTechs, InsurTechs, HealthTechs, and WealthTechs. And the number keeps on changing every month. One statistic remains the same: 25% of these ventures have received investment and support from the financing world. 75% of these businesses still seek financing support from institutional and corporate investors alongside value-creating commercial collaboration opportunities with Global Fortune 500.
Through this podcast series, I would like to demystify the world of corporate venturing, including how corporations collaborate with growth ventures, how venture capitalists and corporate venture capitalists make investment and collaboration choices in ventures and give tech founders and entrepreneurs, the strategies, tactics, tools, and techniques to build, grow and scale their business by understanding how those with financing power think. So, listen in, share and comment as you see fit.
