Real entrepreneurs… Real business plans… Real venture capitalists

VCIC 2010

The ISB Venture Capital Investment Competition 2010 (ISB VCIC 2010) is a reverse business plan competition, where students place themselves in the shoes of the venture capitalists for one day, and evaluate business plans, and pitches from start-up companies. The teams are given the opportunity to negotiate with the entrepreneur of their choice, based on the result of their due diligence sessions with each one of the entrepreneurs. The Competition will be judged by a panel of highly experienced venture capitalists.

The VCIC offers a Win-Win-Win proposition to all participants

Students have the opportunity to evaluate business plans of real-life entrepreneurs, negotiate term-sheets, make an investment decision and convince the VCs with their investment rationale. Those seeking employment in the highly-coveted VC Industry, get a platform to showcase their skills to VCs.
 
Entrepreneurs get the opportunity to network with prominent VCs who specialise in start-up funding and receive feedback on their business ideas from students.

For VCs, this is a departure from the run of the mill business plan competitions, which are now common place.

ISB VCIC 2010 will be held on February 28, 2010. There will be six teams of five students each from across Asia, participating in this never like before competition.

Previously, ISB conducted the Intra ISB VCIC round. For more details on the competition, you can visit Intra ISB Round.
