About the Social Investment Competition
The first-annual DGDW Social Investment Competition (SIC) is an all-day event that brings together top MBA students, socially minded entrepreneurs and social investors (social venture capitalists, impact investors, venture philanthropists etc.) in which MBA students and entrepreneurs go through the entire investment process in an extremely condensed time period while being judged and moderated by the investors.
Students receive business plans from the entrepreneurs a few days before the event to review and begin their due diligence. The day of the event begins with entrepreneurs making a 10 min “road show” pitch to MBA students and investors followed by 15 minute one-on-one interviews of each entrepreneur by the MBA teams. After interviewing all of the entrepreneurs the MBA teams break out and produce their deliverables for their chosen investment – structuring the deal, setting social impact KPIs, creating an executive summary and term sheet. Upon completion of the deliverables each team must present their proposal and negotiate the terms of the deal with the entrepreneur and investors. Teams are interrogated on their deal structure, term sheet and the expected return and social impact of their investment by the entrepreneur and then by the investors.
This event provides a great opportunity for students, entrepreneurs and investors.
- Students experience the entire investment process and get to interact with top investors and entrepreneurs providing them with an incredible learning experience
- Entrepreneurs get to pitch their business plans to top MBA students and investors, giving them great exposure to investors and a chance to get real feedback on their business plans from both students and the investors.
- The investors provide industry expertise as judges of the event while at the same time benefiting from the opportunity to network with other investors, gain an intimate knowledge of a few socially minded business plans and work with the industry’s next round of MBA talent.
