with concepts they can immediately apply to their business in addition to valuable connections that will move it in a strong direction. In a collaborative learning environment, attendees gained access to the latest thinking around rapidly changing global dynamics affecting entrepreneurship and investing today–shifting technology, the skilled-worker shortage, and evolving capital markets, amid significant political and global unrest.<br><br> Please note: This was not an annual summit—this was a one-time opportunity that featured:  <br> This energizing, <strong>one-time summit</strong> will feature:<br> <ul> <li>Presentations by HBS professors, including <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=6544">Bill Sahlman</a>, <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=648943">Laura Huang</a>, and <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=123284">Joe Fuller</a>, and HBS alumni practitioners like <a href="https://www.alumni.hbs.edu/community/Pages/view-profile.aspx?alumId=20162">Lisa Skeete Tatum (MBA 1998)</a> and <a href="https://www.alumni.hbs.edu/community/Pages/view-profile.aspx?alumId=666">Chris Yeh (MBA 2000)</a></li> <li>Research-based and practical frameworks for <b>scaling your venture successfully</b></li> <li>Opportunities to <b>make connections</b> with VCs and both founders and builders of high-growth ventures in an informal environment</li> <li>Sessions on the <b>technologies</b> that will define the next decade</li> <li><strong>Small-group discussions</strong> built to provide intimate support on personal challenges</li> <li>Programming addressing the unique challenges facing <strong>underrepresented founders</strong></li> </ul> </p> <br> <p>For additional Summit resources and information please visit the <a href="https://entrepreneurship.hbs.edu/Pages/default.aspx">Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship</a> website.</p>  </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="0" style="max-width:880px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="84"></td> <td valign="top"> <dl class="accordian" style="border-bottom:0;"> <dt><a href="#">Agenda</a> </dt> <dd> <p style="font-size:115%;padding-right:25px;padding-top:10px;font-weight:bold;">FRIDAY NOVEMBER 4, 2022 </p> <dl class="accordian"> <dt> <div style="font-weight:regular; font-size:medium;"><a href="#">8:00 a.m.—2:00 p.m. Pre-Summit Programming</a></div> <ul> <li style="font-weight:regular; font-size:medium;text-transform:initial;"><i>Programming addressing the unique challenges facing underrepresented founders</i></li> <li style="font-weight:regular; font-size:medium;text-transform:initial"><i>Open to all underrepresented founders and allies</i></li> </ul> </dt> <dd> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p style="padding-right:25px;padding-top:45px;"><b> <nobr>7:45 a.m.</nobr></b></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p style="padding-right:25px;padding-top:45px;"><strong>Bus Transportation from Charles Hotel to HBS</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p style="padding-right:25px;"><b> <nobr>8:00 a.m.</nobr></b></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p style="padding-right:25px;"><strong>Registration and Continental Breakfast</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p style="padding-right:25px"><b> <nobr>8:30–9:00 a.m.</nobr></b></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p style="padding-right:25px"><strong>Opening Remarks</strong></p> <p style="padding-right:20px;margin-top:-28px;"> Jodi Gernon (MBA 1991), Director, Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship<br> Maggie Sanchez (MBA 1990), Project Director, Equity & Entrepreneurship </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p style="padding-right:25px"><b> <nobr>9:00–10:15 a.m.</nobr></b></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><strong>Navigating a Successful Fundraise for Your Venture</strong><br> Moderator: Sarah Endline (MBA 2001), SweetRiot<br> Panelists:<br> Yasmin Cruz Ferrine, Visible Hands<br> Archie L.
