Edward L. Kaplan, ’71, New Venture Challenge Finals
Join us for the finals of the 22nd annual Edward L. Kaplan, ’71, New Venture Challenge (NVC). Throughout the day, the NVC finalists will present to a panel of judges comprising of top investors, entrepreneurs, and others. Prizes – which include cash prizes and in-kind services, such as legal and professional consulting services, and office space – have helped past NVC winners like GrubHub, Braintree, and Base CRM grow into successful businesses. The NVC is a top-ranked U.S. accelerator program and this year marks the 22nd anniversary of the program.
The Concourse Level, and Peter May student lounge will be available for overflow. Space will be available on a first come, first served basis. No laptops will be allowed into the presentation room, and an overflow room will be available for anyone who cannot find a seat.
