Rethinking the Math: Right Sizing the Venture Capital Model
Description:
Over the last several years, the VC investment climate has been in conflict with the entrepreneurs that it purports to support. With increasing fund sizes, sky-high valuations, and impossible-to-achieve returns, the tension between achieving outlier outcomes and sustainable growth could not be greater. This session will cover a reformed version of the VC model that better aligns incentives across all venture stakeholders, creating a path for a more vibrant economy. With an industry veteran, we’ll dive deep into the past that led us here and the innovation required for ecosystem-wide change.
