Fifty Years VC: "Profit with Purpose" Event
Navigating a VC Career in Impact & Innovation
WHEN? Next Thursday (Oct 29), 2:00-3:00pm PST
WHAT? A 1-hr interactive and educational event facilitated by Fifty Years, a SF-based early stage venture capital firm focused on solving the world’s biggest challenges through deep technology entrepreneurship.
The climate is heading off a cliff. Thousands die every day of malnutrition. Pandemics put the world at risk. Exploring a career in technology entrepreneurship can help solve many of these problems and more.
A new era is dawning where you can find a career that combines 1) doing what you love, 2) achieving financial stability, and 3) solving the world’s biggest problems. Fifty Years is passionate about empowering you to discover, mold, and catalyze a career that combines both profit and purpose. Navigating a career in impact is not an individual journey, but a movement.
At this event, they’ll demystify what it means to invest in problems that matter, explore our favorite budding industries, share resources, and host a meet and greet for individuals to learn more about the VC, impact, and deep tech spaces.
