Veteran Venture Capitalists Speak to Booth Students
“If I could go back in time [to become a student at Chicago Booth again], I’d try to meet everyone I could,” said Stuart Peterson, ’95, cofounder and senior partner at Artis Ventures, a San Francisco based venture capital firm has backed such companies as YouTube and Palantir Technologies. “Classmates will help you more than you think.”
Meanwhile, Jeff Sheedy, ’95, director of international marketing at Artis Ventures, believes that success isn’t only about a good idea, but also the people around you.
“Having a strong team gives you an ability to deal with adversity and allows for pivots,” he said.
