Quick links: list of regional eventsHow VCIC Works  / VC Firms

VCIC offers the opportunity to get involved with the nation's top business school students and network with fellow VCs while getting an early glimpse of some pre-screened investment opportunities, 25% of which raise venture capital after pitching at VCIC.

Please do not confuse VCIC with a business plan competition — you will not be judging business plans! You will be participating in a very interactive, very successful and very fun educational experience for students who will be playing the role of VCs. Three out of four students said VCIC was the best educational experience of their MBA careers. There will also be real entrepreneurs presenting to our students. VCIC is a win-win-win for students, VCs and entrepreneurs alike.

"I highly recommend this competition."
Dana Mead, Kleiner Perkins
