Abstract
Compares and contrasts three different venture capital funds from the perspective of a potential investor. The first fund has a technology-enabled services preference, the second a Mid-Atlantic region preference, and the third a seed round preference. Students are asked to decide which fund (or combination of funds) would be the best investment and which fund would be the most attractive investor for entrepreneurs.
