Michigan Investment Challenge

Got an eye for the next big venture?

In this multi-round competition, you become the investor—analyzing real startup pitches, digging into business models, and deciding where to place your (imaginary) millions.

It’s your chance to think like a “Shark” venture capitalist, sharpen your instincts, and see what it really takes to spot a winning idea.

Who is eligible to apply?

Any graduate or undergraduate students currently enrolled at the Ann Arbor campus. Teams of four U-M graduate students (not just MBAs) and teams of four U-M undergraduates (not just BBAs) are welcome to apply.
