Lab Venture Challenge Opportunities for Support
Thank you for considering this opportunity to support the future of innovation in Colorado! By supporting Lab Venture Challenge (LVC), you will have an active, visible role in transforming groundbreaking CU research into real-world impact.
Opportunities for Financial Support
Through the Lab Venture Challenge (LVC), top innovations from the University of Colorado Boulder, Denver and Colorado Springs compete for grants of up to $125,000. LVC supports projects that address a commercial need, have a clear path to a compelling market and have strong scientific support. These grants are funded by Venture Partners at CU Boulder and the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) Advanced Industries Program.
LVC demonstrates a powerful way to advance innovative research through impactful business ventures. It culminates in a showcase for the community, where finalists pitch their innovations live to investors, potential industry partners and the deep tech startup community. It’s the can't-miss event of the year to see CU's next wave of breakthrough innovations!
