I want to share news of our upcoming book release with this group. Stanford University Press will publish Venture Meets Mission: Aligning People, Purpose, and Profit to Innovate and Transform Society. Here is some description of the book and how you can partner with us on its success:
We are at an inflection point to create the future we want. Either we can continue down the path of problem creation and too-late mitigation, or we can begin to shift toward solution formation and societal regeneration. All of the tools to tackle society's biggest problems exist. The Venture Meets Mission ecosystem's role is to bring together these tools: power of people seeking mission, the innovativeness of venture, and the scaling capacity of government. We have the capacity to make significant strides toward solving these problems and leaving the world a better place for future generations through people, purpose, and profit.
We must now rebuild trust across people, venture, and government around a common vision for the future we want.
Venture Meets Mission argues that if Business, Government, and Society come together, rebuild trust, and collaborate, we have a generational opportunity to address societal challenges―climate change, cybersecurity, disease outbreaks, food insecurity and education. The book explains, with hope and passion, how our existing entrepreneurial ecosystem, with the ideals of democracy, can be the foundation for a new mission-driven capitalism.
