The General Georges Doriot Lectureship Series was recently established by Michael M. Koerner, SB ‘49 in honor of General Georges Doriot. A friend and mentor to Mr. Koerner, General Doriot is considered to be the father of venture capitalism. Along with former MIT President Karl Compton, he founded one of the earliest venture capital firms which encouraged private sector investments in business run by soldiers returning from World War II. The lectureship will highlight topics related to venture creation, innovation, and venture capital.
