Mission
The Entrepreneur and Venture Management Association (EVMA) is a student-led organization committed to supporting students interested in pursuing career opportunities in start-ups, venture capital, or starting their own businesses. Rather than focus on a specific industry or function, EVMA strives to empower its members to pursue opportunities in dynamic growth phase companies and help members build the network they need to launch their own start-up. EVMA also provides complementary resources in the venture capital and private equity industries for students interested in pursuing alternative asset management careers.

Membership Benefits
The EVMA provides its members with access to a dynamic network of entrepreneurs and their ecosystem, with a focus on the start-up and Venture Capital community including the USC family and the Southern California community. Our speaker events, seminars, and resources provide members with an opportunity to learn about the fundamentals, motivations and interrelationships that drive successful endeavors in entrepreneurship.

Our goals include:
-Providing a forum to encourage and foster new ideas and innovations
-Educating students regarding the challenges and issues faced by the venture management community
-Promoting and further strengthening USC's position as the top graduate school in entrepreneurship
-Providing the resources and a network within which student entrepreneurs can flourish

EVMA strives to bring together Marshall students who believe in innovation, not imitation. By putting together entrepreneurially-minded students with various professionals active in the venture management community, EVMA represents a unique resource in your business school experience.
