Date of Event: 20th November 2026
Registration Fee: 300 per Participant Overview The Venture Ecosystem is an eight-hour overnight simulation in which three tracks, Product, Consulting, and Finance, operate in parallel while influencing one another. Product teams create and develop startups; Consulting teams solve business cases, advise startups, and tackle shared crises; Finance teams evaluate investments, manage portfolios, and trade owned equity only with other Finance teams. Over the night, teams move through a foundation round, a first Deal Room, a shared crisis with a controlled secondary-market window, and a final Ultimate Venture Challenge in which all three tracks collaborate on one last resource-allocation plan.
The guiding idea: Product creates value, Consulting unlocks value, and Finance allocates value.
