Dec 4, 2025: Vantage Validation Day at Reynolds Hall
After 13 weeks of testing assumptions, our 13 founders discuss what held up, what failed and how they pivoted based on real market feedback.
Join us at Reynolds Hall (REH 2000 Atrium) on December 4th at 5:00pm to see how Vantage Ventures startups test assumptions about their business models and adapt based on real market feedback.
Some found product-market fit. Others made significant pivots. All learned to test assumptions systematically rather than build on hope.
Students – forget the glossy pitch decks and confident predictions you’ve seen on Shark Tank. Building a startup isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about testing your assumptions and being willing to change direction when the market tells you something different than what you expected.
Investors – if you invest in founders who adapt to market feedback rather than cling to original ideas, join us!
Entreprenuers – whether you’re thinking about starting something yourself or curious what entrepreneurship looks like beyond the Instagram highlights, join us!
