The built environment and the systems and infrastructures of our modern world are so ubiquitous, and yet so inconspicuous, that design is often what establishes the possibility of mutual benefit and cooperation, as well as for conflict and competition. Positive Sum Design is an emerging discourse that begins with a critique of zero-sum approaches and considers the development of design practices that foster win-win outcomes. Join us for a discussion about how we might apply Positive Sum Design to building a better world.

Why do investors continue to pour money into VC-backed companies that demonstrate serious governance flaws? What lessons and best practices should investors and directors of venture-backed companies learn from the failure of firms and platforms such as WeWork, Uber, Deliveroo, and most recently, FTX, and why have those lessons proven so hard to internalize? And can the venture capital industry embrace good governance without sacrificing returns, i.e., the needs of individual VC firms to make financially successful investments? This virtual program aims to bring together VCs, founders, independent directors of VC-backed companies, LPs, scholars, and policymakers to discuss how the industry can create standards and shared practices to enable the ecosystem to enforce good governance going forward.
