Hey Guys,

I want to participate in the Venture Capital Investment Competition. It's a competition to help us leaner about venture capitalists and how the whole process works. 

It's not a huge time commitment. Basically, this is what you have to be present for: 

VC 101: Monday, September 15 at 6:30 p.m. – Learn more about the basics of Venture Capital
Competition Information Session: Wednesday, September 17 at 6:30 p.m. - Learn more about the specific details of the competition
uVCIC Competition: Saturday, September 27 8:00 am – 5:00pm


Applying online is pretty easy. It just needs your netID basically. http://startuphoyas.com/guvcic/

If any of you are interested, we can form a team together to do this. Otherwise I'll just apply individually.

Let me know!

Best, 

Tania

I know Marshall, Sarah, and I were potentially interested. I could attend the Georgetown competition, but I wouldn't be able to attend the national competition (unless I get kicked out of Rangila, which may happen.)

I couldn't find a deadline on team formation, but I may participate anyways just for the Georgetown prize, and if first place happens, just get subbed in by someone else.

I didn't know they have a national competition. Well, for now, we can just bank on doing the GU one on Sept 27. 

So, the team so far is:
Tania
Marshall
Kevin Tian
Sarah Long

Anyone else? Not sure how big the groups are allowed to get...

I'm actually not sure if Sarah has confirmed yet, and I will confirm myself in the coming days.

So, I'm going to go ahead and just sign up. Marshall, do you definitely want to do this? I'll include your name if you do so that at least the two of us can be in the same team with some other people.

Kevin, if you decide later you want to do it, I'm sure we can just add you then.
