Texas Venture Labs Investment Competition (TVLIC) is now in its 37th year!

This Fall’s TVLIC will be held at Robert B. Rowling Hall on Friday, December 3, 2021. This competition offers an invaluable opportunity for graduate students from any UT System school to pitch their startup ideas to a panel of investors and entrepreneurs. Past participants, such as the founders of uShip, BeatBox Beverages and Ordoro to name a few, have gone on to do great things after launching their startups at TVLIC. Many participants have leveraged their TVLIC experience and feedback from the judges to accelerate their careers both in and outside of entrepreneurship.

The deadline to apply for the Fall 2021 TVLIC is November 21. Early applicants will be eligible to attend a Pitch Prep Workshop where they will learn tips and receive coaching from industry experts. This is a great opportunity to take your presentation skills up a notch and get some feedback on your pitch before TVLIC.
