McKinsey’s New York office pioneered the first McKinsey In program, which is now being expanded across other locations. We created this program to support founders and CEOs of start-ups with inspiring concepts that have faced systemic barriers and opportunity gaps in the past.

Connect
We connect founders to local ecosystem leaders to foster innovation and collaboration
