Congratulations to evening MBA and MSF students Christian Biagetti, Christopher Canton, Michael Horth, Jonathan Paquette, Steven Pipp and Ali Siam who represented Boston College at the Regional Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC). This is essentially the opposite of my MBA Business Plan course, in that VCIC brings the entrepreneurs to the competition and our students play the role of venture capitalists negotiating Term Sheets, under the supervision of a judging panel. This is a video of the Team's open comments to the start-up they chose to invest in and I've included some pictures below, as well. This wrapped up an intensive 4-6 month process where we held an internal competition on campus in order to select this team across 15 participants and then they read articles, and met with entrepreneurs, financiers and mentors to prepare for today's Competition.
