"NVC was an amazing opportunity to not only build a business from the ground up, but also gain invaluable experience with pitching a venture to investors. We also gained incredible mentorship. Our mentors filled in gaps where necessary in our business development and gave helpful advice for the competition and post-competition. We're extremely grateful for NVC!"

—Rebecca Jacobs (MechEng'21), ToobTek, NVC 14 Championship finalist

"NVC is the best thing that CU Boulder does for students, and the value from NVC is worth as much—if not more—than four years' worth of classes."

—Carter Brown (Fin'21), GoGuide, NVC 14 participant

"Presentation is everything, especially in my line of work as a software consultant. If people don't understand the what's, how's and why's of a product, it is doomed to failure. NVC's robust network of mentors, classes, training and support led me to getting a job that I love. Though I am not starting a business right now, I have a suspicion that it will be in my future.
