About VLIC

In the early 1980′s, two Texas MBA students yearned for a business school activity as challenging and prestigious as “moot court” in law school. They envisioned a competition in which MBAs working in teams would conceive an idea for a new business, develop the idea in a written business plan, and present the plan to a panel of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, accountants and lawyers.

In 1984 this vision was fulfilled when the Graduate School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin held its inaugural Venture Labs Investment Competition (VLIC). It was the first competition of its kind for MBA students. With aspiring entrepreneurs soliciting start-up funds from experienced investors, the VLIC simulates the real-world process of raising venture capital. From among myriad offerings is selected the best new-venture opportunity. With a more than 32-year history, the Competition is the oldest operating inter-business school competition in the world.

The Texas Venture Labs Investment Competition has been expanded to biannually with increased prizes for University of Texas at Austin graduate students from any discipline.
