National Finals of Venture Capital Investment Competition at IIMB on December 22
Jointly conducted by the Venture Capital Society and Entrepreneurship and Innovation Cell of PGP students, contest will see teams from IIMB, IIMA, ISB, IIMC and more
18 December, 2018, Bengaluru: The national finals of the Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC) will be held from 9 am onwards on December 22 (Saturday), 2018, at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore.
Organized by UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, USA, VCIC is a unique event in which MBA students emulate the life of venture capitalists. VCIC was conceptualized in 1998 and today, it is the largest venture capital competition among top business schools globally.
Unlike business plan competitions in which students pitch their own ideas to investors, at VCIC students are the investors with real entrepreneurs pitching to them. The event provides a unique learning experience for both parties. Actual VCs assume the role of judges and assess student teams' performance while students learn about the fundamentals of venture capital investing, and the winning team gets a chance to represent India at the global finals in the USA. The event also provides entrepreneurs with an opportunity to connect with investors and VCs get an early peek at some viable deals.
This year’s edition will see participation from the campus winning teams of IIM Bangalore, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) Delhi, and Indian School of Business (ISB). The judges of the event will comprise MDs and partners of some prominent VC funds in the country. The event would be jointly conducted by the Venture Capital Society and Entrepreneurship and Innovation Cell (Enl) of IIM Bangalore.
VCIC includes more than 50 events on four continents, serving over 1500 students, 150 venture capitalists and 100 entrepreneurs. The global finals is hosted by UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School every April in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where the top team takes home $5,000 in prize money.
