VICE 2026 | Enventure Venture Investment Competition

​VICE is Enventure’s annual Venture Investment Competition, designed for students and trainees interested in venture capital, startups, consulting, and life science innovation.

​Participants will be assigned to teams and will review materials from a featured startup, including its pitch deck and other supporting information. Teams will assess the company’s technology, market opportunity, business model, and major risks, then develop an investment recommendation.

​Finalist teams will present live during the virtual competition to a panel of judges from venture capital, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

​This is not a founder pitch competition for students. It is a hands-on due diligence and investment analysis exercise. That framing is consistent with your outreach and board documents.
