About this event

Business • Startups

Welcome to our Vantage Validation Day event, where assumptions meet reality.

Join us at Reynolds Hall (REH 2000 Atrium) on December 4th at 5:00pm to see how Vantage Ventures startups test assumptions about their business models and adapt based on real market feedback.

Some found product-market fit. Others made significant pivots. All learned to test assumptions systematically rather than build on hope.


Students - forget the glossy pitch decks and confident predictions you've seen on Shark Tank. Building a startup isn't about having all the answers. It's about testing your assumptions and being willing to change direction when the market tells you something different than what you expected.


Investors - if you invest in founders who adapt to market feedback rather than cling to original ideas, join us!

Entreprenuers - whether you're thinking about starting something yourself or curious what entrepreneurship looks like beyond the Instagram highlights, join us!
