During this episode, we catch up with three UVA Darden Full-Time MBA students – Catie Nolan (Class of 2026), Matt Cunningham (Class of 2025), and Tom Alappat (Class of 2025) – to talk about their recent experience competing in private market case competitions. Catie competed in the Venture Capital Investment Competition with 5 other Darden students and placed 2nd at regionals. Matt and Tom competed in the Cornell Case Competition for Family Ownership with 2 other Darden students and placed 3rd overall.
