Venture capitalists don’t mind strike-outs, so long as they get their home runs. What can stock investors learn from that approach?

  • The benefits of building an “anti-portfolio”
  • Why it pays to get outside of your own four walls
  • Lessons from a piggy bank auction


Strebulaev is also the founder of the Venture Capital Initiative and a Professor of Private Equity and Finance at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. Dang is a CEO, technology executive, and advisor who’s worked with Amazon, McKinsey, and across Silicon Valley.
