What is uVCIC? Student teams play the role of a VC firm that must go through the entire VC investment process in an extremely condensed time period. Teams read business plans from entrepreneurs, watch entrepreneur pitches, perform due diligence with the entrepreneurs and structure a VC deal with a real startup. Teams are evaluated on how well they identify and mitigate risk, understand the VC process, communicate and work as a team.
