Hello Entrepreneurs!
Welcome back to a new semester! We are happy to have you on the club, and we have some exciting events upcoming. This semester, we have some veteran E-board members who continue to help us foster an entrepreneurial environment. Since we have quite some members graduating last year, we are also actively recruiting new E-board members (see the Opening Positions section below).
News and Events
1. Club Fair
We are excited to join the other clubs at Questrom at the Club Fair. Come to the Questrom Atrium (first floor of the Questrom building) and meet us. We are looking forward to learning about you!
2. Experiential Learning - G51 and VCIC
Every semester, the G51 Venture Scholars program is held at Questrom and other MBA programs as well. It encourages students to source, screen, and perform due diligence on early-stage (pre-seed to seed) startups and pitch to the G51 partner. The recruiting is conducted via professor Greg Stoller at gstoller@bu.edu.
VCIC is a competition in which students play the role of investors and real startups pitch to them. There will be a BU-local competition around November 2022, and the regional event will be in the upcoming spring.
