I’ve been remiss with writing of late and for that I apologize.  The internship search, classes, current internships (2), and extra-curricular stuff is snowing me under at the moment. 

I do have one exciting thing to share.  Napoleon and I are now the co-chairs of the Sustainable Venture Capital Investment Competition (SVCIC).  SVCIC was founded by Kenan-Flagler students in 2006 as a sustainable sister competition to the UNC-founded VCIC.  It focuses on both sustainable entrepreneurs and sustainability-oriented valuation methods.

I’m excited about the position for many reasons but primarily because I’m going to try to truly take the event national next year, moving from a total of 8 schools competing to 40+.  There is significant interest from schools around the country; I need to figure out how to capture and direct that interest.  It will be a heck of a challenge and I look forward to it wholeheartedly.

SVCIC 2009 is coming up at the end of March.  Expect posts to be few and far between until after I get the competition behind me.  I’ve already lined up most of our venture capitalist judges; the team is now working on finalizing the entrepreneurs.
