Week 3 - You Be The VC Project

We are Team B, so our company is Leapfrog ([|www.leapfrog.com])
__**Instructions from the Assignments link for Week 3:**__ Each team is going to serve as a venture capital firm. In the attached file, each team is assigned a start-up company to evaluate. Complete the //You Be the VC// Scorecard for your venture. 1. Evaluate the management team, if available (check Web site, often under “About Us” or “The Company” or similar). If not, try a search of company name and “founders” or “management” or “leadership.” 2. Team should discuss and evaluate each item on the VC Scorecard. Rate each item. 3. In “Comments” section explain reason(s) for the score. 4. Make your funding decision and explain Why or Why not.

Submissions through Week 3 Discussion boards.

After submitting your You Be the VC Scorecard, __one member__ from each team should post here your overall evaluation of your venture and the score. But NO NOT indicate your actual funding decision. 2. Each team should then “vote” for other five other ventures, recommending their own “Fund or don’t fund.” Everyone has the description of all the other ventures in the downloaded assignment package. 3.
