Still not sure if NVL is for you? Check out what Founder and CEO of and New Venture Challenge finalist has to say about the course:

"Getting into New Venture Launch was the perfect experience for me because it took my ambition to become an entrepreneur and passion for my idea and gave it the resources and guidance to get to the next level. Pitching my venture went from a disorganized jumble of ideas to a coherent story that I took with me all the way to the New Venture Challenge finals. I often scratch my head about how much longer it would have taken me to reach where I am now without Brad and Betsy's excellent course."
