Pacific Venture Capital Competition 2017

Have you been waiting for that golden opportunity to bring your business idea to life on a large international platform? Or maybe you’ve been wanting to try your hand at investment?

Perhaps, you’ve been looking for the chance to raise funds for a current project that’s in the works? Yet, you’re confused as to how you’re going to go about all this?

THE SOLUTION TO YOUR WOES IS HERE

PVCC stands for the Pacific Venture Capital Competition – a unique opportunity for both business veterans and curious rookies, involving a combination in the fields of entrepreneurship and financial valuations.

Participate in one of two interconnected competitions

Whether you’re interested in building a startup or valuating and acquiring them, the competition is for you.

The two competitions run side-by-side, meaning students in the VC competition will get to analyze cases, as well as live companies submitted by entrepreneurship competitors.

On the flip side, entrepreneurs will get the opportunity to get feedback from both professionals and students in the VC competition.

Entrepreneur Teams

The stage is all yours as you pitch your idea in front of top industry professionals and prove that your new innovative business plan is going to come out on top as a game changer!

  • Round one: submit a 10-page PPT and 1-minute video presenting your business idea.
  • Round two: present live in front of preliminary round judges (in person or via Skype).
  • Round three: work with an industry professional and once again present live (in person or via Skype).
  • Final round: present your business idea live in front of an audience of 350+ delegates and industry professionals during the Conference which will be held on March 23, 2017, in Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in Vancouver.
