How will the November elections affect startups?
The US Presidential and Congressional Elections will set the tone for policy for the next two years, with dramatically different possibilities. Balliol College Alum Chris Oates will talk about the probabilities for each candidate and control of Congress, and discuss what each scenario means for startups, with a focus on some of the most exposed sectors, like climate tech and energy.
