Venture Capital Initiative - Team

Meet the Team

A venture capital journey includes touchpoints with interrelated sets of knowledge, practice, experience and advice.

Relevant classroom subjects and real-world topics include investment management, entrepreneurship, innovation, technology and strategy, among many others.

As such, the Venture Capital Initiative is organized and supported by a cross-disciplinary team across these areas.
