Welcome

The Kellogg Private Equity Club is one of Kellogg's most active professional clubs, providing resources and support to a community of students looking to pursue a career in the field.

Whether entering Kellogg with a background in private equity or looking to transition into the industry, we are committed to helping students achieve their career goals through programming that accelerates the job search process, facilitates engagement with the professional community, and strengthens industry knowledge and skills.

As private equity evolves and firms increasingly drive value through growth and operational improvement of portfolio companies, we pride ourselves on providing students with unique learning and experiential opportunities catered to both the investing and operating aspects of private equity.

    Private Equity Investment Thesis Competition Kickoff - sponsored by Hidden Harbor Capital Partners

     You’re invited to participate in the 7th Annual Private Equity Investment Thesis Competition sponsored by Hidden Harbor Capital Partners! The competition is an opportunity to gain first-hand experience researching, developing, and pitching a private equity investment thesis.. and compete for a chance to win $10,000 cash prizes. It will also provide networking opportunities with PE professionals, valuable coaching and feedback, and the chance to interact with terrific data resources. It is a good opportunity for students with a PE investing background and a GREAT opportunity for those who don’t have that background (or a finance background at all!) and want to learn more. If you’re interested in learning more about the competition and/or Hidden Harbor, please attend the kickoff meeting on September 23rd at 5:15pm in KGH room L130 and join the competition slack channel #Hidden_Harbor_Investment_Competition for additional detail. Please register for the event on Campus Groups, and we hope to see everyone there! Hidden Harbor is a private equity firm based in South Florida with assets under management of $2+ billion, investing out of an $825 million fund closed in last summer. HHCP is a values-driven private equity firm that helps create business success stories by building teams, focused on execution. We appreciate HHCP hosting the thesis competition annually – it is a great opportunity! tue, 5:15pm - 6:15pm
