Decision Making in VC Investment

Venture capital investing requires making high-stakes decisions with limited information, under uncertainty, and often with long-term consequences. This session explores how VC investors navigate decision-making, from assessing founding teams and business models to managing internal dynamics and cognitive biases. We’ll examine the rational, emotional, and contextual factors that shape investment choices, and discuss strategies to enhance judgment quality in deal-making.

 

On behalf of IE Executive Education, we invite you to this webinar in which Professor Paula Almansa, will address this matter.
