​TL;DR

​Amid a humanitarian crisis, we explore when a VC fund should take a public stance and discuss our role and responsibility in these moments.

​Topic overview

​Why is the topic relevant? We are in the midst of a polarised humanitarian crisis where many fear speaking out, worried about offending, taking sides, or facing repercussions. It’s urgent for us to ask ourselves where our responsibilities lie.

​What’s up for discussion?

• ​Should a VC fund ever engage politically?

• ​Is there a line where a conflict becomes a humanitarian crisis where one can no longer be silent?

• ​Is an impact VC expected to have more of a voice?

​Dream outcome

• ​Thought provoking discussion where VCs are challenging and listening to their and others beliefs.

​Who should attend?

​VCs in leadership positions, LPs, Impact investors.
