*'''Background: '''Duck Ventures is a group focused on teaching and educating students about early-stage equity investments, venture capital, and angel investing.
*'''How it works: '''Duck Ventures is partnered with various firms and conferences in the state of Oregon. These firms outsource market research and due dilligence to Duck Ventures students to help minimize the usually lengthy time it takes for firms to conduct dilligence on a startup that is seeking potential investment. It's also a great way for studens to get directly involved with company valuations, term sheets, and investor relations, gaining real-world experience while doing meaningful work with firms.
