On today’s episode of McKinsey on Startups, we talk to Gautam Nadella, an operating partner at EQT Ventures in the Bay Area, where he drives M&A, fundraising, and partnership efforts within their portfolio of more than 100 companies. EQT invests in a wide range of companies in both Europe and the US; in November of last year, it closed what it described as Europe’s largest VC fund committed to early-stage tech startups, with commitments of 1 billion euros, putting its total raise since launching in 2016 at 2 billion euros. After a challenging macroeconomic year that brought an abrupt halt to more than a decade of gravity-defying valuations and funding rounds, we are excited to have Gautam join us to offer his broad, thoughtful perspective on the state of startups and venture capital in this new era, the power of transformative tech, and much more.
