Acumen and Embrace: Investor rubrics and social impact.
In this discussion, dive into the challenges that emerge in the world of venture capital (in general) and impact investing (more specifically). We will focus upon three questions, in particular:
- How does the investment “thesis” (i.e., decision rubric) shape an investor’s decision to invest?
- What do these various terms (e.g., liquidation preference) in an investor term sheet even mean?
