Venture Capital Upcoming Happy Hour in New York City 2012

Dec. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- On Tuesday, January 3, 2012, venture capitalists and future business leaders will have the opportunity to mingle during a special Golden Networking Happy Hour event. This will be a unique opportunity to connect with the visionaries, investors, and advisors of the next Facebook, Google, and Groupon.
Venture capital, the Acumen Fund in particular is the subject of a recent lengthy feature article by Helen Coster in Forbes magazine, posing the question, “Can Venture Capital Save the World?” The article discusses the efforts of Acumen Fund CEO Jacqueline Novogratz to invest in entrepreneurs in the developing world who are aiming to solve problems from “mosquito netting to bottled water to affordable housing.”
“Acumen Fund is quite literally a philanthropic venture capital fund, which has put $69 million to work in India, Pakistan, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. Its loans and equity investments mandate the same benchmarks traditional VCs use, with a twist: Since the donor-investors don’t get their money back—all returns are reinvested in Acumen—progress is measured not in ROI but rather against the good that could have been done by simply giving the money away. No easy task but one that makes Acumen’s mission more critical: to prove that altruistic capitalism can solve the world’s ills.”
