In a period of a few hours, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to pitch to top MBA students and VCs and also undergo condensed due diligence with each student team. Unlike venture fairs, where many attending VCs may not even see your pitch, let alone your business plan, at VCIC all of the VCs evaluate all of the entrepreneurs so that they can judge the students' performances.
