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.
