Application Deadline: Private Equity and Venture Capital (PE/VC) Lab

The Private Equity and Venture Capital Lab (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 learn to apply academic frameworks to their internship experiences. This program is open to Chicago Booth MBA students only.

Please note that the application process has changed from previous years. There will be two application deadlines. Students who are interested in participating in the PE/VC Lab are encouraged to apply before the October 16 deadline, but have the opportunity to reapply or change their application by January 15, 2027.

This deadline is also for those interested in the San Francisco (SF) VC Lab. Please indicate your interest in participating in the SF VC Lab on the application.
