Every VCIC event is unique, occurring in a unique place at a unique time and taking advantage of the unique regional resources to create a unique judging panel. The following are some of our considerations as we select individuals to join a given event.
With a name like VCIC, we’d better have VCs! Institutional and corporate investors are welcome, of course.
Seed stage, angels and even limited partners are all important members of the venture funding ecosystem and have something to contribute at a VCIC event.
Former participants who are still connected to the VC or startup ecosystem are often some of the most generous judges.
Serial entrepreneurs, startup experts, accelerator junkies and others have a perspective to offer.
While it’s a challenge in the VC industry, but strive to include a variety of backgrounds, industries, ethnicities, genders, etc.
Some service providers. Sorry, but sometimes lawyers, accountants, etc., have a focus that is perhaps too narrow to be the best fit for VCIC. No offense!
