VC3 - About the Event

Background

ASES (Asia-Pacific Student Entrepreneurship Society) - brings top Silicon Valley venture capitalists and Stanford students together in a speed dating event known as VC3 a proud part of E-week at stanford (eweek.stanford.edu). Stanford student participants will have a chance to pitch their business ideas for three minutes and receive three minutes of feedback from several VCs.

The VC3 program this year will kick off in early January with a mixer for all the participating teams. ASES will help facilitate some workshops to help student teams improve their ideas and pitch throughout February. And during Entrepreneurship Week, students will finally have a chance to meet with VCs during their pitches and a networking reception.
