The Merrick M. Elfman and Therese L. Wareham Private Equity and Venture Capital (PE/VC) Lab was created for Chicago Booth MBA students to learn firsthand about the PE and VC industries. Through the combination of an intensive internship at a PE or VC firm and an academic course, students become active participants in the analysis of real-world investment decisions made by seasoned investors and also learn to apply their academic frameworks to their internship experiences.

The PE/VC Lab application will open following the Info Session on October 7.

Please note there is only one application deadline for both the winter and spring terms of the PE/VC Lab. If you intend to participate in the PE/VC Lab during any portion of the 2025-26 academic year, you must apply in alignment with the October 17th deadline.
