Edward L. Kaplan, '71, New Venture Challenge (NVC) Finals
Join us for the finals of the 30th annual Edward L. Kaplan, '71, New Venture Challenge (NVC). NVC finalists will present to a panel of judges comprising top investors, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders. Prizes — which include cash awards and in-kind services such as legal and professional consulting services and office space — have helped past winners like Grubhub, Braintree, and Simple Mills grow into successful businesses. The NVC is a top-ranked U.S. accelerator program, and this year marks the 30th anniversary of the program.
