About Event

​Most of what is written about venture capital is written for founders. This session is different.

​Rob Metzger is a Gies College of Business Finance lecturer with a career spanning William Blair, MissionOG, and Orange and Blue Ventures. He has been on the investing side of hundreds of conversations that founders never get to see. In this Q&A, he will share what that vantage point actually looks like.

​Topics will include:

  • ​How investors actually evaluate a deal and what kills it

  • ​What founders and students most commonly misunderstand about VC

  • ​How to break into venture capital and what the job looks like day to day

  • ​What he knows now that he wishes he had known earlier in his career

​This is part of the iGBA Entrepreneurship Series, programming built for iDegrees students across the iMBA, iMSM, iMSA, and MSBAi programs at Gies.

​Questions will be curated from the community in advance. Submit yours at registration.
