ACG Cup provides students from leading MBA programs the unique opportunity to apply classroom studies to real-world experience and gain invaluable insight into the field of mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, financial advising and private equity. ACG members who are experienced mergers and acquisition professionals judge the competitions and engage business school teams in business analysis, valuation and strategy development. The intense competition provides participants with feedback from leading substantive experts and links the next generation of top-tier business school talent with potential M&A employers.

"The level of talent participating in ACG Cup continues to grow in no small part due to the unparalleled real-world M&A experience and focus on middle-market business growth strategies it provides," said Mike Hartman, ACG Denver Chapter President.
