University of Chicago Booth School of Business Seeks to Elevate Its ...

Are you a prospective applicant or recently admitted student to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business interested in entrepreneurship and venture capital? Then the school?s Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital (EVC) Group might prove a valuable resource.

The EVC Group, one of the largest full-time student groups at Chicago Booth, is working hard to elevate the school?s visibility as a great place to pursue entrepreneurship and venture capital opportunities. Through conferences, guest speakers, recruiting sessions and experiential learning, the group seeks to educate student members about relevant career paths and connect them with professors and professionals in the EVC space. The student group also partners with Booth?s Michael P. Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship to develop EVC-related programming, events and classes.

In the fall, the EVC Group hosts the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Conference, or SeedCon, a two-day event featuring a fast-pitch competition as well as panels and keynotes by enterpreneurs and venture capitalists from Chicago and beyond. Each winter quarter the group helps put on the Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC)?? an event designed to give students a chance to think and act like venture capitalists while identifying top students to represent Chicago Booth at regional and national intercollegiate competitions ??and the Bay Area Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Trek?? a networking opportunity with the Silicon Valley Venture Capital community. And next month, the group will host the finals of the annual National Venture Competition (NVC), one of the nation?s top business competitions. Organized by the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship with support from the EVC Group, the NVC is a year-long process featuring two initial phases and a May finals event. Now it its 16th year, the NVC features traditional, global and social tracks and has awarded $750,000 and helped launch more than 65 companies.

For more information on entrepreneurship and venture capital at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, prospective applicants and recently admitted students are encouraged to contact the group?s co-chairs?or to consult the EVC Group website?for resource links and an event calendar.
