The information that I will now provide you is related to a program that gives entrepreneurs a chance to create a start-up through entrepreneurial activities and programming, mentoring, funding and naturally support from the community.
This program is called The New Venture Challenge (NVC) and has been in operation since about 2009.
Participants in this program attend events where they are given the opportunity to refine their ideas and form start-up teams for further funding.
The main goal of The New Venture Challenge (NVC) is to help participants explore entrepreneurship, regardless of their experience, specialty, discipline, etc. They also strive to bring campus and community together to succeed in a world-class startup ecosystem.
