Volunteering at the Global Moot Corp Competition is a great opportunity to see firsthand how successful venture capitalists and entrepreneurs judge potential new venture investments.
The Global Moot Corp Competition involves a great deal of logistics and coordinated effort, and reliance on volunteers is critical to making the event come across as a professional, well managed event. As a volunteer, you are the face of Moot Corp and the University of Texas.
