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
