Stanford GSB Quick Study
Director: Sam Shimizu-Jones
Sam collaborated with Stanford GSB and Autmn Line to create this animation series that takes research papers of professors at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and breaks them down to briefly give an overview of their work.
Synopsis of piece above: Since the 1970s, venture capitalists have backed about one-third of all large publicly traded companies started in the U.S. That’s one of the remarkable findings from Ilya Strebulaev, a finance professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business who studies the inner workings of the VC industry. Here, in the latest episode of our Quick Study video series, Strebulaev discusses what he’s learned about “the VC mindset” — a unique approach to investing in risky, high-growth startups.
Synopsis: China hopes that its currency will someday challenge the U.S. dollar's place as the world's reserve currency. Getting there won't be easy. But, as Stanford Graduate School of Business finance professor Matteo Maggiori explains, if Beijing sticks to its plan, it will have profound effects on the global economy. Here, in the latest episode of our video series Quick Study, Maggiori discusses what China must do to achieve its ambitious financial and monetary goals.
