Hi everyone
I am interested to pursue a career in venture building, and I was wondering what are the options out there. Specifically, I'm interested in the middle east.
I have many questions:
- What are the types of venture building firms (I know there is venture studios and management consultancies, any others?)
- Who are the leading ME players (within management consultancy I know McKinsey Leap, BCG Digital Ventures, Bain Next)?
- How are they different? what are the different services they offer?
- Any other advice/ emerging hot topics I should pay attention to?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Wow how interesting- thanks Kiran. I'd like to piggyback on this and ask you a few follow-up questions. Thank you in advance! So as a generalist consultant with limited background in entrepreneurship, they also have the opportunity to work on this type of company building project at McKinsey? Is Leap a highly selective practice? I'm interested in entrepreneurship but for now would prefer to join consulting for job security/skill building purposes. Also I'm interviewing with McK in the Middle East next month. Wonder if I can point out this interest during my interviews...hopefully that won't put people off. Much appreciated!!
