A Mentor In Resident (MIR) provides feedback to a student who's participating in NVC
There are countless ways to take part in the GWU NVC. Whether you’re competing in the NVC, attending our events, or interested in diving in as a judge or sponsor, we are ready and excited to get to know you! Check out the many ways to get involved below, and start brainstorming the best way to partner with us during this process.
Judges provide invaluable support to the GW New Venture Competition. Their experience and insight are critical to moving the best teams forward in the competition, and each year, participants in the competition report that the judges’ scoring feedback is one of the most valuable parts of their experience. Find out how to become a judge by contacting Scott Stein.
With the generosity of many community partners and the support of George Washington University, the GW New Venture Competition has grown to be one of the top 10 largest university-based competitions in the country. Contact Lex McCusker for sponsorship opportunities and learn how to get involved!
Drawing from a pool of qualified experts, each team is matched with a mentor who has related industry or startup experience. Competition mentors generously give their time and share their wisdom with participants. In some cases, mentors continue to guide their team for months or even years after the GW New Venture Competition has ended. If you’re interested in becoming a mentor, contact us here!
