30+ Years Building Companies and Backing Entrepreneurs
Operator and investor across the US and Brazil. Sixteen of those years on the ground in Brazil gave me a working, cross-border view of entrepreneurship across different cultures, stages of ecosystem maturity, and markets. I am fluent in Brazilian Portuguese. On the investing side, I co-founded a venture fund with a 3.9x mark-to-market across 29 investments in hard-science and industrial-technology companies. On the operating side, I have built and turned around tech, consumer products, and residential construction companies myself, so I can speak to both the cap table and the shop floor. I am glad to guest lecture, join in-class discussions, or contribute to executive education in tech startups and venture capital, and in lower middle market M&A: Entrepreneurship through Acquisition, independent sponsors, and business succession. That last cluster is current, under-taught, and increasingly on students' radar as a career path. Recently returned to Boston and happy to come into a class in person.

Guest Speaker available (Sep.-onwards)
Hi all, I'm a VC practitioner with 15+ years of international investing experience (full lifecycle, from sourcing through portfolio monitoring). I've worked in Mexico, Switzerland, China, and the US (Silicon Valley), and am relocating to Boston this September. My background is mostly family offices and boutique VC firms, focused on early-stage direct deals and funds. I previously co-founded a multi-family office for self-made entrepreneurs centered on impact investing, and I've developed expertise in measuring social and environmental impact for early-stage startups. I also work directly with founders through a set of resources I built: workshops, a workbook, an online course, case studies, and a podcast. Happy to speak on: family offices, VC investing, founder-investor dynamics, impact investing, women in VC, cultural differences in VC (EU/US), and the political economy and psychology of venture capital. Open to brainstorming a topic that fits your course; feel free to reach out!

Guest lecture: real world investment
Dear alumni, This is Lingfei Kong, a faculty member in the finance group. I am seeking a finance professional to share real-world portfolio management experience with a class (Computational Methods and Their Applications in Finance) and give students job market advice. The course covers Python programming and its applications in finance. Sample topics include NumPy, pandas, and finance applications such as financial statement analysis using S&P Global Compustat data, mean–variance analysis, and backtesting common factors such as value and low-volatility strategies. Sample assignment includes financial analysis on the publically traded firms in the healthcare sector and building a sector rotation strategy with targeted Sharpe ratio and downside risk. A guest speaker would help bridge the gap between finance theory/academia and real-world investment practice, while also offering students valuable job market advice. The class time is Tuesday/Friday 1:35PM — 3:15PM in the Fall semester. I hope the guest speaker can give a lecture during late September or October. The lecture can be either in-person or online. Ideally, the guest lecture would take place in late September or early October, either during class time or at another time convenient for the speaker. The lecture can be either in-person or online, depending on the speaker's availability.
