REVERSE DEMO DAY
RSVP NOW - UPCOMING REVERSE DEMO DAYS
WEST COHORT: VC COHORT 37 & RE COHORT 2 | WED, MARCH 27, 2024
EAST COHORT: VC COHORT 38 | WED, APRIL 17 (U.S.) / THU, APRIL 18 (HK), 2024
Venture University is an Investor Accelerator (vs. a Startup Accelerator), so rather than having startups pitch at DEMO DAY, we have the investors within the cohort present at a quarterly REVERSE DEMO DAY, where they present the opportunitiies they selected to invest in and explain why they chose to invest.
VU's Venture Capital fund, VU Venture Partners, has six vertical investment teams: Consumer, Enterprise, Fintech, Frontier, Healthcare, & PropTech.
VU's Real Estate Private Equity fund, VU Capital Partners, has 4 vertical investment teams: Residential Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Industrial Real Estate, and REITs.
Over the 11 week Investor Accelerator cohort members source investment opportunities, meet with investors, conduct due diligence, and invest in ~2-4 new venture capital portfolio companies and ~1-3 follow-on investments, and 1-2 real estate investments each quarter.
During REVERSE DEMO DAY each investment team shares their key findings and insights from their due diligence for why they said "yes" to invest.
VU's cohort members includes three types of investors:
Individuals looking to break into VC/PE as Analysts, Associates, Principals, and Partners.
Emerging fund managers, angel investors, and family offices looking to improve their VC/PE investment skills
Entrepreneurs looking to join new startrup opportunities or start their next innovative company
Why Attend REVERSE DEMO DAY?
