Get an insider’s take in this fireside chat with Deborah Farrington, co-founder and general partner of StarVest Partners, one of the largest women majority-owned venture capital firms in the U.S.
Farrington, a Harvard MBA, has chaired or served on boards for private and public companies, most recently RedBall Acquisition, one of those hot, newly-minted SPACs (special purpose acquisition company).
In this exclusive chat, we discuss:
- How VCs and private equity investors are thinking about opportunities in the “new economy”—and managing existing portfolios.
- Which sectors will emerge from the pandemic as the decade’s big winners.
- Also: How to build a productive board, the rise of SPACs, recovery scenarios and leading through crisis.
