Our aim is to create a *persistent* hybrid academic-practitioner community which will build over time to make a heavy contribution to the development of the field. I am grateful for the collaboration of John-Erik Hassel in this project and he and I both look forward to fostering many worthwhile collaborations. If you have an interest in venture builders, join us!

Do venture builders have part of the answer to the challenges venture capital currently faces? Undoubtedly. Are there tonnes of design choices to get right when designing a venture builder? You know the answer. What are the right governance models, metrics, collaboration structures... may I suggest coming to Cambridge and engaging in this conversation?
