About

Peter Adams co-authored "Venture Capital for Dummies" and created the HyperAccelerator, a one-week compressed accelerator model that rapidly moves founders through strategy, financing, and exit planning. He developed his own impact-measurement frameworks before adopting the Impact Management Project approach and advocates for scalable, market-rate impact investing while being explicitly skeptical of concessionary-return structures.
