G-51 and MBA students rock Boston with 1st ever mobile Deal Review

G-51 brought its first ever mobile deal review meeting to BU’s Questrom School of Business on Friday. Throughout the afternoon, participants included BU, Babson, BC, MIT, one of Boston’s largest insurance companies and a Ph.D. exchange student from Italy. Concurrently with the Boston-based presentations, several participants across the country delivered analyses either over the phone or from their Austin, TX headquarters.

Each student delivered a 3-minute deal review, and shared their online evaluation via G-51’s proprietary content management system, while executives and students across the country sent in real-time questions and comments. For each company, the decisions ranged from:

  • Move to funding
  • Recommend further due diligence
  • Pass due to a lack of investment merit, operational stage compatibility or cultural fit

Watch the students in action below and check out the pics from the entire afternoon / evening.
