Student Participation

MBA students are directly involved in the Wolverine Venture Fund's deal evaluation, due diligence, and portfolio tracking. The Fund meets weekly to review and discuss investment opportunities and requires students to pursue outside research, conduct due diligence, and convene with the Advisory Board on a semi-annual basis.

First-year MBA participants are selected in September by existing student members of the Fund and the managing director. The application process consists of a personal written statement and resume followed by an interview process. The Fund encourages both male and female students with diverse backgrounds to apply, including those with technical, finance, legal, and/or start-up experience. Individuals who are selected receive course credit for their work with the Fund.

Application Process

The Wolverine Venture Fund is seeking approximately 15-20 first year MBAs to serve on the Fund's Student Advisory Board for 2009-2011. The application includes a resume and a 1-3 page personal statement that addresses the following questions:

What do you bring to the Fund (including past experiences)?
What do you hope to get out of the Fund?
How will your Fund experience impact your future career?
How many hours a week can you commit to the Fund?
