Friends of NVC

Operating a truly global competition series requires a network of other organizations, universities, and individuals who are all committed to our shared goal of supporting student entrepreneurs along their journey. The Friends of NVC program works with these groups to help reach more students worldwide, operate more local competitions, and grow the reach of our resources. We are truly grateful for their support!
