Luigi explores the tension between shareholder value maximization and welfare maximization – challenging conventional norms in corporate governance – and discusses his role hosting the University of Chicago podcast Capitalisn’t, where he seeks to simplify complex economic topics to educate a broader audience. Luigi also discusses his current research interest in improving corporate governance, and reducing company overreach through representative shareholder assemblies making informed stock voting decisions.

    Venture Capital and Private Equity with Ilya Strebulaev

    Dr. Ilya Strebulaev, the David S. Lobel Professor of Private Equity and a Professor of Finance at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, joins Brattle Principal Sujay Dave to discuss his research and extensive experience in corporate finance, private equity, and venture capital. In this episode, Ilya discusses how he developed a framework for capital structure decisions that incorporates dynamic decision-making and thus more accurately reflects real-world results. He explains how his early corporate finance work – together with his position at Stanford GSB, located at the heart of Silicon Valley – led to his founding of the Stanford GSB Venture Capital Initiative. At the Initiative, Ilya and his team have compiled and analyzed a one-of-a-kind database with information from hundreds of venture capital firms, providing key information and insights on an industry that is typically very private. In the episode, Ilya highlights the accomplishments of the Initiative under his leadership over the past decade. Ilya also previews his recently released book, “The Venture Mindset,” which summarizes decision-making principles derived from his and coauthor Alex Dang’s experience with the venture capital space. The book also includes practical applications, making it widely applicable in settings beyond venture capital.
