Troutman Pepper Locke is proud to support the Global New Venture Challenge (GNVC), a track of the New Venture Challenge dedicated to Chicago Booth Executive MBA students worldwide. Second-year students in the Chicago Booth Executive MBA program are eligible to apply to the GNVC and participate as one of their capstone course requirements. A benefit of the GNVC is the participation of our alumni and members of the business community in the coaching and judging portions of the competition. More than 80 coaches, judges, panelists, and guest speakers participate in the GNVC each year.

Partner Kathleen Swan served as one of the judges during the 2025 competition.
