BVC RESOURCES
Speaker Events and Panels
Our guest speaker and panel events will feature individuals with a wealth of experience, allowing our members to ask open-forum questions. Our speaker selection is industry agnostic, welcoming a diverse array of professionals to share their experiences and thoughts with our members.
Past speakers have included Mike Leeds (namesake of the Leeds School of Business), David Brown (co-founder of Techstars), and Jaclyn Hester (Partner at Foundry Group). For a list of all of our speakers, check out the Past Speakers tab!

Pitch Nights and Local Founders
Many CU Boulder students work on startups of their own! We want to give these students the chance to pitch their idea to other members in BVC. This gives our members the chance to potentially join these startups if they are hiring, learn more about the challenges students have faced, and network with students that have existing startups. We also like to bring in local founders in the Boulder area to talk about some of the challenges they have faced on their journey to becoming a successful company.
VCIC
The Venture Capital Investment Competition is a national competition that occurs annually, hosted by UNC. The competition tests competitors' abilities in the art of venture investing. Teams listen to pitches from real founders, and construct a term sheet as if they were investing in the company. Reach out if you are interested in joining the undergraduate team.
Girls Into VC
CU Boulder now officially has a Girls Into VC chapter! If you are interested in getting more involved in this incredible organization, or want to learn more about it, make sure to come to the weekly meetings to network with other women interested in the world of startups and venture capital!
Workshops
Over the course of each semester, BVC looks to host a couple of workshops, each focusing on something that students interested in this area should learn more about. We bring in guest speakers, create activities, and give members the opportunity to work in teams and get the most out of the workshop experience. Keep an eye on the weekly emails to find out when our next workshop will be!
CU Idea Forge
The CU Idea Forge is an excellent resource that BVC wants members to know about. For any students interested in creating their own products, the Idea Forge is the perfect place to go. They can assist you in creating prototypes for these products, and connect you with resources to get your idea out there!
