Abstract

Startups such as Airbnb and Spotify shaped our society in multiple ways – from how we book and rent out flats to how we access our favorite music. Their disruptive power is a typical characteristic of a venture case. The disruption caused by such firms can be used for sustainable development, too. The movement from unicorns to zebras is increasingly acknowledged by investors on a global scale – a movement in which Venture Capital (VC) plays an important role.
