Over the weekend, Chicago Booth was announced the winner of the International Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC).
This year, over 1,000 students from top schools around the world competed in 50 VCIC events on four continents, before reaching finals. In each competition, teams are given real companies' plans and asked to make VC investment decisions. Judges evaluate the teams' diligence process with the entrepreneurs, term sheet negotiations, investment thesis, and conclude by conducting a Q&A session with team members.
VCIC is a great opportunity for those interested in entrepreneurship or venture capital to practice evaluating companies and understanding key issues while forming relationships with VCs from around the country.

This is a great example of Booth’s continued emphasis on entrepreneurship, venture capital and private equity. Four of the five team members had gained practical experience in VC/PE during their first year at school through the Private Equity & Venture Capital Lab or Hyde Park Angels program, prior to the competition. In addition, all members used the flexible curriculum to take entrepreneurship courses such as New Venture Strategy or Commercializing Innovation.
