At the University of North Dakota, students are completely running their own venture capital fund through the Dakota Venture Group (DVG) program. It’s the only one of its kind currently in the U.S. where students get direct experiential learning in the field of venture capital and angel investing without having to report to an advisory board.
Students from many different academic backgrounds, anything from law, marketing, engineering, finance, accounting or entrepreneurship are given the opportunity to conduct due diligence, make investment decisions and negotiate deal terms. Five students are appointed as managing directors.
