EVC at Darden 

The Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital Club at Darden (EVC) serves as a focal point for students and alumni interested in accessing the various entrepreneurial avenues available in the Charlottesville community and Mid-Atlantic region. A single club represents both disciplines because they work so closely together – entrepreneurs work with venture capitalists to secure funding, while VCs work with entrepreneurs to find promising investment opportunities.

The Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital Club welcomes you the Darden Community!  The EVC Club has an exciting year planned for 2009-2010.  It is no wonder that EVC was ranked by students as one of the top Student Organizations at Darden!  EVC is also one of the largest Darden clubs with over 140 members in 2009.
