Description

What is fit-for-purpose responsible investing for crypto and web3?

Join us for the online launch of a new report from the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy, University of Cambridge and Venture ESG.

This report has developed a practical environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) toolkit for venture capital investors (“VC”) that can be applied to crypto and Web3 businesses.

After almost one year of research and 50+ interviews with industry participants, this conversation will explore the findings of the report.

The leading questions for this research was: what is fit-for-purpose ESG (or responsible investing) for crypto and web3? and how should it play a role especially for investment decision making?

Join our expert discussion online on December 5 to explore these questions, with:
