VentureStake™ Reveal
Live Stream from Bloomington, IN: After seven years and over 25,000 hours of field research, Gerry Hays—21-year Professor of Venture Capital and Founder & CEO of Doriot—will unveil VentureStaking™, a bold, first-of-its-kind approach to startup investing.
Doriot’s mission is clear: to make venture investing universally accessible and winnable—regardless of income level. The venture game has always been about turning pennies into dollars, and we believe everyone deserves a seat at the table—whether as an Entrepreneur, an Innovator, or a VentureStaker™.
Since Georges Doriot introduced the Venture Capital model in 1946, the mechanics of early-stage investing have changed very little. VentureStaking™ is a quantum shift—a reimagining of how venture capital can work in a world driven by access, data, and community.
