Advisors are encouraged to attend VCIC. You are not allowed to assist your team in any way, however, you will have full access to all sessions, including closed–door judging sessions, and you will be able to use that information to give your team feedback as well as to train next year’s team. There will also be opportunities to network with advisors from other schools to discuss your entrepreneurial program and share best practices. Lastly, you will gain valuable insights to help your student leaders run their own internal VCIC.

There are several resources available to advisors on the VCIC website.

• New School Interest Form
• Run Your Own Internal VCIC
• Apply to Host a VCIC Region
• Help for Contestants

We are encouraging your student leaders to run their own internal VCICs. It is our goal to provide them with all the necessary tools to run the event themselves with the least amount of burden on you as possible. That said, many staff and faculty have found that VCIC is a great addition to their suite of entrepreneurial offerings. You might be surprised at how well received this event is by students, entrepreneurs and VCs alike. See How VCIC Works and Run Your Own Internal VCIC for more information.

The pitch to students…
