May Lee is a star venture capitalist on the verge of becoming the youngest partner at her firm—if she can land the kind of deal that defines a career. When she meets Willa McGovern, a brilliant young scientist with a bold, world-shifting vision, May sees the opportunity she’s been waiting for. As Willa’s company begins to gain momentum, the stakes grow financially, ethically, and personally. What starts as a promising investment becomes something far more complicated, as ambition, belief, and bottom-line thinking collide. Set in the high-pressure world of Silicon Valley, Aaron Loeb’s R.O.I. is a sharp, fast-moving play about innovation, power, and the price of trying to change the world.
