Join us for the finals of the 30th annual Edward L. Kaplan, '71, New Venture Challenge (NVC). NVC finalists will present to a panel of judges comprising top investors, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders. Prizes — which include cash awards and in-kind services such as legal and professional consulting services and office space — have helped past winners like Grubhub, Braintree, and Simple Mills grow into successful businesses. The NVC is a top-ranked U.S. accelerator program, and this year marks the 30th anniversary of the program.
