Venture Capital Investment Competition

The Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC) is an entrepreneurial education program developed and coordinated by the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School.

## History

VCIC began in the middle of the dot-com bubble in 1998 in response to the number of business plan competitions popping up at most business schools. VCIC has grown into a virtual venture job fair and marketplace. The program culminates every April in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with the International Finals, where the winning teams take home $5,000 in prize money.

## Events in 2011

In 2011 the program included ten regional finals and 40 single-school events in North America, Europe and Asia. Fifty top business schools from around the world participated in the competition.
