An evening celebrating the power of entrepreneurs to change the world
Join four innovative investors in a conversation on the potential for private capital to have tremendous social impact. The event will feature a panel that brings together the nation's most prominent advocates for both early stage investment and social enterprise. Fred Wilson, founder of Union Square Ventures, is an advocate for early stage investment and the single most read blogger in the venture capital community. Jacqueline Novogratz is the founder of the Acumen Fund, a global nonprofit venture philanthropy fund that hat uses entrepreneurial approaches to solve the problems of global poverty. They are joined by Roger Ehrenberg, founder of IA Venture Strategies and one of the most active angel investors in New York and Jacob Gray, partner at Murex Investments. The panel will be moderated by Scott Edward Anderson, founder of the greenskeptic.com and a frequent commentator on the FOx Business Netowrk. This rare combination of finance and philanthropy leadership reflects GoodCompany Ventures' unique mission to help social entrepreneurs develop scalable, for-profit businesses to address unmet social needs.
