New Name for Competition Announced
Moot Corp Competition Is Now
Venture Labs Investment Competition
We have changed
our name to the Venture Labs Investment Competition and repositioned ourselves
as “The Super Bowl of Investment Competition.” We will continue to use our
former name, Moot Corp, as part of our tagline for the foreseeable future.
Rob Adams, director of the Venture Labs Investment Competition, explained the
renaming as “reflective of the true nature of what Moot Corp had turned into, a
forum where MBAs from around the world launch their ventures by raising capital.
This competition is far from Moot, and parallels the real-world process and
realities of developing and launching a venture backed company. This renaming
and repositioning aligns the competition with that mission.”
Venture Labs Investment Competition (mootcorp.org) – The Super Bowl of
Investment Competition (formerly Moot Corp) is the premier world-wide investment
competition hosted annually at The University of Texas at Austin.
