NVC@30 Fireside Chat: Insights from New Venture Challenge (NVC) Alum Mariana Castillo Lopez, MBA '16

​We are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Edward L. Kaplan, ’71 New Venture Challenge at Chicago Booth. Given the growth of this Booth-critical program since 1997, we have a lot to celebrate—and, as such, we are planning a series of campus-wide events in honor of what’s been accomplished over these 30 years.

​In this fireside chat, we will be joined by 2016 NVC alum Mariana Castillo Lopez whose company, Ben & Frank, won sixth place. Come hear insights from Lopez on her entrepreneurial journey, her experience in the NVC program, and the impact Booth has had on her path.

​Pizza from Lou Malnati's will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
