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 supports internships in geographies beyond Chicago. Thanks to the support of the Petrick Family, PE/VC Lab participants with out-of-state internships may apply for funding from the Petrick Family Student Fellowship Fund to support their travel and on-site experience.
