E176 That Great Business Show - Luke Mackey, CEO, Kota - Former Connecticut State Senator, Brian McDermott

E176 That Great Business Show with Conall O Móráin


Luke Mackey is co-founder and CEO of Kota - aiming to be the Stripe of the insurance industry, allowing businesses from 2 to 200 to instantly set up pension, health insurance and life assurance providers globally with real-time enrolment, flexible contributions, and an employee app – all in one place. They've already raised €7.6m, and they're ready to take on the world. First Ireland, then the UK and EU...and then the mighty US. Listen to see if you're company could use his company?

 

And former Connecticut State senator, Brian McDermott, rounds off our BeachHeadUSA mini-series, with a request to US companies to set up in Ireland, particularly to his family’s hometown of Dundalk. Like Connecticut, situated neatly between New York and Boston, Dundalk he points out is beautifully located between Dublin and Belfast. You get the best of both worlds, all at 'the right price'.
