Special Announcement - Lab Venture Challenge (LVC): Showcases
Get a Front-Row Seat to the University of Colorado's Next Big Ideas Competing for $750,000
Join us at the Boulder Dairy Arts Center for the Lab Venture Challenge (LVC) Community Showcases, where teams of top innovators from CU will pitch to a panel of judges and a live audience for grants of up to $125,000—that's $750,000 in total awards—for their early-stage projects in bio- and physical sciences with compelling market potential.
Past pitches have included everything from next-generation batteries to cancer treatments and LVC has helped launch 64 new startups that have gone on to raise more than $350 million, including Darwin Biosciences, Manifest Technologies (prev. Vitro3D) and Mesa Quantum.
At the showcase, finalists will deliver pitches to a live audience and panel of business leaders, entrepreneurs and investors. LVC is the can't-miss event of the year to see CU's next wave of breakthrough innovations!
