Let’s talk about sperm, with Khaled Kteily of Legacy
About this episode
Khaled Kteily is the Founder and CEO of Legacy – a startup he founded at the Harvard Innovation Lab – that provides from-home fertility services for men with the aim to change the outdated view that fertility is a women’s issue. The UAE is part of Legacy’s first phase of international expansion and Khaled is hoping to kick off at the earliest given the region’s struggle with infertility in general.
Khaled and I talk about the similarities in our journies–we both left home at 17, we both started business from scratch as first-time entrepreneurs at 29, we both won startup competitions & believe in creating momentum to make things happen. We also talk about his own identity and the start of his career at Oliver Wyman followed by the World Economic Forum.
A quick disclaimer: I’m a super proud investor in Legacy and fully believe in their mission to become the Fatherhood company helping over 100M men on the journey of becoming a father.
