What is VCIC?
The winning check referenced in the video is for students teams. There is no prize money or entry fee for startups.
Top 4 reasons founders participate in VCIC.
1) Investor access
VCs are in the room and already deep in your materials before you shake hands — the kind of engagement you could spend months chasing, all in one morning.
2) Dozens of perspectives at once
Thirty-six students from six different schools, coached by a wide variety of investors. Add six to twelve VC judges and your plan gets stress-tested from every angle.
3) Genuine Feedback
Six due diligence sessions, written feedback from every team, and candid investor perspective over lunch. You’ll know exactly where you stand.
4) Real diligence, not a beauty pageant
Participants receive your deck days in advance and come prepared with hard questions. This is as close to a real VC process as you’ll find outside of an actual raise.
