About This Book
Business, government and society are drifting apart—and that separation may be the most expensive problem we've never tried to solve.
Drawing on leadership experience spanning Silicon Valley venture capital and the highest levels of the federal government, Arun Gupta, Gerard George and Thomas Fewer argue in Venture Meets Mission that the entrepreneurial ecosystem already contains every tool needed to address climate change, cybersecurity, disease outbreaks, food insecurity and education—what's missing is trust. The book tells stories of entrepreneurs with diverse, intersectional experiences who have successfully fused mission and profit, and lays out a practical case for a new mission-driven capitalism rooted in democratic ideals.
Written for students, young professionals, entrepreneurial executives and forward-thinking policymakers alike, Venture Meets Mission makes the case that joining people, purpose and profit isn't idealism—it's the most rational response to a generational moment that won't wait.
