Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paul Ronalds: Can Venture Capital Save Lives?
Q: How do you balance philanthropic mission with financial performance when evaluating a company like PrimaKu?
The team looks for scalable impact in health and nutrition, clear data-backed outcomes, and a path to commercial viability that supports broader expansion across markets.
Paul Ronalds: Can Venture Capital Save Lives?
Q: What's new in Save the Children Global Ventures since you last spoke?
Paul explains the near close of the Africa Debt Fund, its focus on wholesale capital to improve access to education in Africa, and the Asia Healthcare Fund as a parallel, high-potential investment vehicle.
Michael Young: AI Drug Discovery & Clinical Trials
Q: What is the potential impact of AI on global access to therapies?
While Lindus focuses on optimizing trials and access programs, AI-enabled efficiency could lower costs and enable broader access, especially as licensing partnerships expand and DTC channels evolve.
Michael Young: AI Drug Discovery & Clinical Trials
Q: How does Lindus differ from traditional CROs in running trials?
Lindus combines AI-enabled data collection, real-time monitoring, and an end-to-end platform to reduce cost and time, licensing assets and running trials in-house rather than just outsourcing to multiple vendors.
Michael Young: AI Drug Discovery & Clinical Trials
Q: What inspired the Lindus Health mission and how did your government work influence it?
The mission was shaped by observing how slow and fragmented traditional trial processes were, plus the policy experience in Downing Street and the UK Life Sciences Strategy, which highlighted the need to run trials faster and more efficiently.
