Venture Meets Mission
Aligning People, Purpose, and Profit to Innovate and Transform Society
Venture Meets Mission argues that amid today’s geopolitical, environmental, and technological upheaval, there is a generational opportunity to tackle society’s hardest challenges—climate change, cybersecurity, public health, food insecurity, and education—by rebuilding trust and collaboration across Business, Government, and Society. Drawing on the authors’ experience in Silicon Valley, venture capital, and senior federal leadership, the book shows how the tools for impact already exist and how people, purpose, and profit can work together as the foundation for a new, mission-driven capitalism. Through real-world stories of diverse entrepreneurs and practical insights for policymakers, it makes the case that profit and purpose don’t have to be opposites—and aims to inspire a new generation to build ventures that create both economic and social value.
