"Brilliantly explains why we need to write new recipes to solve the problems of an increasingly complex world—and guides us on a search to find the key ingredients of empathy, innovation, public service, and entrepreneurship."
José Andrés

"The authors make a compelling case that the biggest challenges we face will only be solved with a renewed partnership between government and entrepreneurs. Venture Meets Mission is filled with uplifting examples and inspires us to make these success stories the norm rather than the exception."
Eric Schmidt
Former CEO, Google
"Venture Meets Mission shows you how you can make the biggest difference, and have the most fulfilling years of your career, by serving your country at the intersection of technology, innovation, venture capital, and government."
Steve Blank
Entrepreneur and Author of The Lean Startup
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.
