Insights from Silicon Valley: Who’s Up, What’s Down & Why it Matters.

Welcome to the Boardroom Governance Podcast. I’m your host, Evan Epstein. This is a special *bonus track* episode recorded from a live online event with Professor David Beatty from the Rotman School of Management and co-hosted by the David and Sharon Johnston Centre for Corporate Governance at the University of Toronto. It took place on December 1st, 2022. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about unicorns, private markets, startup governance and innovation. We also address the importance of governance in the downturn, board composition, dual-class shares, the case of Sam Bankman-Fried, the IRA Act, climate tech, public benefit corporations, ESG and more. Thanks again to David Beatty and the Rotman School for the invitation. Note: David was my guest in episode #2 of the podcast (back in May of 2020), and that episode is still one of the most popular ones!
