MBA Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital Club

Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital Club

The Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital Club (EVC) is a student community that supports, develops, and enables current and future Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists to change the world through creativity, smarts, and grit. We do this by:

  • Facilitating integration of Darden with the greater Charlottesville and UVA entrepreneurial community
  • Complimenting and influencing existing academic curriculum with more experiential and entrepreneurial thinking opportunities
  • Being a platform that encourages and guides students through the process of starting and funding new ventures or acquiring existing businesses
  • Providing a mentorship and support network for our members
  • Cultivating a sense of community among our members

Although this organization has members who are University of Virginia students and may have University employees associated or engaged in its activities and affairs, the organization is not a part of or an agency of the University. It is a separate and independent organization which is responsible for and manages its own activities and affairs. The University does not direct, supervise or control the organization and is not responsible for the organization’s contracts, acts or omissions.
