Whether you’re interested in building a startup or valuating and acquiring them, the competition is for you.
The two competitions run side-by-side, meaning students in the VC competition will get to analyze cases, as well as live companies submitted by entrepreneurship competitors.
On the flip side, entrepreneurs will get the opportunity to get feedback from both professionals and students in the VC competition.
