The Sterling Partners Investment Thesis Challenge (SPITC) launched in 2011 with the generous support of Sterling Partners. SPITC enables Chicago Booth student teams to work with mentors at private equity firms over several months to develop original investment theses and recommend execution strategies.
To learn more about SPITC, attend the SPITC Info Session on October 20th and attend the How to Build a Strong Investment Thesis Workshop coming this fall.
A list of firms interested in reviewing proposals for the 2025-26 program will be shared soon. Teams may take these firm profiles into consideration as they identify and develop their proposals.
