AIC's Deep Tech VC 101 Bootcamp
Deep Tech VC 101 Bootcamp
Hosted by Alpha Intelligence Capital in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University
In July, Alpha Intelligence Capital and CMU came together to launch a conversation on how VCs evaluate startups. This interactive workshop will walk through the tools and frameworks investors use before issuing a term sheet, including:
Comparable analysis – benchmarking against similar companies
Value creation mapping – assessing team, technology, product, and commercialization progress
Exit scenario modeling – exploring potential outcomes and pathways
Returns analysis – understanding risk, reward, and investor expectations
By the end, you’ll see how these pieces fit together to shape valuations and deal terms - and gain insight into how VCs think when backing frontier-tech founders.
