Join us to see who will win the New Venture Challenge (NVC) Deep Tech Competition—led in collaboration with the Venture Partners at CU Boulder. CU Boulder’s top student, faculty and staff startups built around a scientific or technological innovation will pitch their business ideas to a panel of esteemed judges and you, a live audience. Come support the next big CU Boulder innovations as we give away over $50,000 in funding!

Since its inception in 2009, the NVC program and competitions—run out of the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Initiative—have been CU Boulder’s entrepreneurial “flight simulator.” NVC gives aspiring entrepreneurs, problem solvers and innovators from across the university a chance to build a startup through entrepreneurial events and programming, community support, mentorship and—ultimately—funding.
