/ About this event
Investors say they love mission-driven companies, until the term sheet arrives. Our panel of lawyers and investors will talk about what happens next. They'll cover how to push outside counsel past the boilerplate, how to make your mission survive the next funding round and the next CEO, whether mission lock really costs you returns, and what the future holds for for-profits built on purpose.
A conversation with lawyers and investors who work at the intersection of corporate structure, venture capital, and mission-driven companies. The panel explores the practical legal and strategic questions that arise when founders want to lock in a social or environmental mission while still raising institutional capital. Topics include how to get outside counsel to move beyond conventional corporate playbooks, the mechanisms available to make mission commitments durable and enforceable, whether mission lock actually depresses returns, and what the future looks like for mission-led for-profits in the venture ecosystem.
Happy Hour to follow.
