Welcome to the 2008 Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC) Silicon Valley Regional!

The Entrepreneurs' Connection at the Leavey School of Business of Santa Clara University hosted Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC) 10 for first time on January 17th 2007. It is back again! We will be hosting VCIC 11 on February 8th 2008!
 
Founded by the University of North Carolina in 1998, the VCIC is the nations premier MBA competition that is complementary to the traditional business plan competition pitting top schools against one another in an all day VC investment environment.
 
The VCIC brings together Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists in an environment that since 1998 has funded new business opportunities in excess of $300M. If you are an Entrepreneur looking for funding or a VC looking for the next big business idea,  the VCIC competition is the place for you.
