House of Lords Debate on Impact Investment & Entrepreneurship

This session, hosted by the Hult Prize Foundation will will bring together leaders from venture capital, impact investing, entrepreneurship, and the wider startup ecosystem to debate pressing questions in impact investment and entrepreneurship. ​This year’s event is sponsored by Lord Bird MBE, British social entrepreneur, and co-founder of The Big Issue.

There's an exceptional lineup of founders, investors, and leaders from across the startups and impact ecosystem - including Wilson Sonsini partner Daniel Glazer - to debate two pressing motions:

Motion 1:

“This House believes that the UK is no longer a viable place to build high-growth startups at scale.” - Chaired by Eleanor Winton

Motion 2:

“This House believes that the most effective impact in emerging markets comes from local capital and leadership – not foreign investors.” - Chaired by Zain Hussain
