Venture Meets Mission with Arun Gupta

Recent existential threats rippling across the global population are catalyzing a renewed spirit of mission. Given the accelerating change in technological, environmental, and geopolitical landscapes, a new collaborative framework is needed across government, industry, and academia to solve these problems. Thankfully, a generational opportunity has emerged to align people, purpose, and profit to create the future we want. Join us for a compelling conversation with Arun Gupta, CEO at NobleReach Foundation, to hear stories of changemakers across government, industry, and academia who are working to solve the nation’s most difficult challenges while breaking the dichotomy between purpose and profit. Learn how young people seeking mission, the innovativeness of venture, and the scale of government can work together to position America to better compete against rising global competition and to boldly advance toward a brighter future!

Key Takeaways:

• How America can take action to create a national asset in a “venture meets mission” ecosystem and why it is imperative that governments attract and retain top talent both inside and outside of government around key public problems.
• Why mission-driven ventures provide an ideal opportunity for the younger, purpose-seeking generation to enter their professional careers.
• How entrepreneurs can overcome the design problems that stem from differences in funding, goals, and processes when working with the government
