Triton Value Partners and TopRight LLC will co-sponsor Goizueta Business School’s eighth annual Venture Capital Investment Competition. The event is scheduled for Saturday, November 21, 2009 at the business school and will be attended by participating teams and local venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. Join us for the networking event following the competition, starting at 4:00 pm in the Goizueta Coke Commons.  Anyone interested interested in venture capital and entrepreneurship is welcome.

The VCIC is a one-of-a-kind competition that gives MBA students from top business schools a realistic venture capital experience in a competitive environment. Compared to a traditional business plan competition, where teams participate as entrepreneurs seeking venture capital funding, the VCIC teams assume the role of venture capitalists and evaluate and “fund” investment opportunities.

This year’s presenting companies includes Fusion Sleep, My Shopping Safe, Site Minis, and Urban Planet.

The winning MBA student team will go on to the Southeastern Regional VCIC round, at Georgetown University in February 2010.
