VC Pitchfest

VC Pitchfests are a unique opportunity for current NYU entrepreneurs to present their ventures and innovations to a panel of VC and angel investors and a room full of fellow NYU entrepreneurs in a friendly competition. In the past, presenting teams receive valuable feedback from professional investors representing funds such as Greycroft, Techstars, Two Sigma Ventures, Flybridge Capital and others.
