Purdue Engineering Frontiers Lecture Series: Venture Meets Mission Tuesday, March 5 in ARMS Atrium 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm Special Announcement with President Chiang
2:30 pm – 3:30 pm Lecture: Venture Meets Mission with Arun Gupta 3:30 pm – 4:00 pm Panel Discussion 4:00 pm – 4:30 pm Book Signing (Venture Meets Mission by Arun Gupta, now a national bestseller) – FREE BOOK WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!! The world is facing dramatic geopolitical, environmental, and technological shifts. Venture Meets Mission argues that if business, government, and society come together, rebuild trust, and collaborate, we have a generational opportunity
to address societal challenges like climate change, cybersecurity, disease outbreaks, food insecurity, and education. The book explains, with hope and passion, how our existing entrepreneurial ecosystem, reconnected to the ideals of democracy, can be the foundation
for a new mission-driven capitalism. The good news is the components of this problem-solving ecosystem already exist— people, purpose, and profit-and can be joined together for world-changing
impact. The starting point is rebuilding broken trust among business, government, and society. The authors draw on their leadership experience with Silicon Valley innovation, venture capital, and the highest levels of the federal government. The book tells
engaging stories of successful entrepreneurs, with diverse perspectives and intersectional experiences, who combine mission and venture to solve critical societal problems. Venture Meets Mission seeks to inspire a generation of students, young professionals,
and entrepreneurs to pursue mission-driven ventures that can make the world a better place. It also explains how forward-thinking government officials and policymakers can harness private sector entrepreneurship and innovation to solve society's problems. Register at
