OIE/NVC Open Office Hours

Have questions about the New Venture Competition (NVC) or need a second set of eyes on your Round 1 application?

Join the OIE/NVC Open Office Hours, a flexible, drop-in session where you can get personalized support and guidance from OIE staff, mentors, and past participants. Feel free to attend if you have questions about the NVC structure and timeline, Round 1 application, or just want a quick review of your idea's business thesis before you submit. This is a casual, no-pressure opportunity to strengthen your entry, clear up confusion, and make sure you’re on track to compete with confidence.
