Events & Calendars Finance Speaker Series: Venture Capital vs. Growth Equity: Where is the Investment Line?

Have you ever wanted to explore or learn more about parts of the finance industry? Do you want to gain a better understanding of the daily activities of particular roles in finance? If so, the Loeb Center's Spring 2021 Finance Speaker Series is a great way to hear from alumni in the finance industry about their companies, their roles and responsibilities, and how they work with other parts of the finance ecosystem or businesses.

Join several Amherst alumni, including Chris Pike '92, to hear more about Venture Capital, Growth Equity, and the differences in how and when they invest in start-up companies. Through a candid panel discussion, you'll learn how to navigate finding opportunities in this part of the private investing world, as well as how these alums learned to source, evaluate, and invest in sometimes unproven firms. You'll also get the inside scoop into what various firms are looking for both in their employees and in their portfolio companies.
