The webinar will feature two managers from firms mentioned in the book who will give us the insider's perspective—what The Power Law got right and wrong—as well as provide general comments on the venture capital industry. FEG's Director of Private Equity, Nathan Werner, will lead the panel discussion featuring Hans Tung from GGV Capital and Venky Ganesan from Menlo Ventures.
