About ACG Cup

ACG Cup

ACG Cup is an intercollegiate competition among business school students from colleges and universities across the nation. Retaining and recruiting talent in West Michigan is a major objective of the Cup competition for ACG's Western Michigan Chapter. During competition, students analyze a complex business case and present strategies involving merger and acquisition alternatives, valuation, capital markets, finance options, and corporate strategy. Student participants gain invaluable experience in a real-world context, receive feedback from leaders in the local business community, and create meaningful networks. Our competition welcomes teams of undergraduate students, graduate students, and teams of mixed undergrad and graduates. A cash prize is awarded to the top team.

ACG Western Michigan is known for bringing together a robust and diverse group of students representing teams from around our state and the nation. For 2025, we once again look forward to hosting teams from across the Midwest and beyond to compete in person at Grand Valley State University's Seidman College of Business. We'll also host a networking reception the evening before our competition so teams can make new connections to the West Michigan business community and judges taking part in ACG Cup.
