Introduction: Vice Chair Anushree Gupte

 Hello! 


This is your vice chair, Anushree Gupte. I am a junior studying Neurobiology and Education at UC Berkeley. I have been a delegate at MUN conferences since 2014 and chaired since 2016. I joined BMUN two years ago and have had the pleasure of chairing for Press Corps and NGO Forum. I do research about the brain (ask me more I am a little obsessed with this). I have also done research on the mental health assessment of asylum seekers. I work at the Student Learning Center as a math tutor. I am an international student: Indian but lived in Oman.


I am super passionate about our topics and can't wait to work with you!

Resolution?? BVC does Pitch Decks!

  Pitch Decks Instead of collaborating with other delegates to write a resolution, you're going to be creating a pitch deck for your products. A lot of the work is going to be done in committee (hence the full tech policy), and the work that you are doing for your position paper is going to be the bare fundamentals of your pitch deck.

It is important to note that an investor’s equity in your company is calculated with its value at the moment that this exchange is taking place; it is not based on the future potential of your company.

Things to Think About: How To Make Money

  Hello BVC Delegates, As conference approaches and in light of some of the position papers that we have received so far, now serves as an opportune time to delve deeper into the more obtuse yet incredibly important details of entrepreneurship and venture capital, albeit it this time from the investors point of view, and the considerations and factors that they might value when comparing pitches and business proposals. While our main goal is to facilitate the processes of innovation and enterprise in regards to sustainable development, the performance or potential of your business is of utmost importance; and while judging the effectiveness or inventiveness of new products and services is somewhat subjective, one can objectively compare a businesses' profitability by comparing key financial ratios and metrics on their balance sheet. Obviously, as our committee is a simulation, there will not be explicit balance sheet numbers (We won't make you do all that math), but the princip...
