Lessons from microfinance for venture capital

Venture capitalist Anjney Midha travelled to Bangladesh to study the Grameen Bank model and observed how the peers of the applicant were better decision makers about the validity of a loan than officials. Midha shares with us the experiments going on at universities where a peer network runs the VC fund and makes all the decisions.

Recorded at INK2014, Mumbai
