Women are less likely to get venture capital funding than men with similar entrepreneurial history. One reason, finds Prof. Heather Tookes, is that investors who have experienced a poor outcome from a woman-led startup shy away from other women founders—but good outcomes don't lead them to invest more.

Our mission is to educate leaders for business & society. The drive to build successful organizations that make a difference inspires our curriculum, our approach to research, and our community.

We seek students who care deeply about the problems afflicting our world.

We equip them with the knowledge, the resources, and the networks to pursue positive and ambitious change.
