Wharton Investment Network
The Wharton Investment Network (WIN) is a transaction-focused organization within the Wharton Club of New York (WCNY). The Wharton Investment Network (WIN) exists to facilitate transactions between Wharton-affiliated Private Equity and late stage Venture Capital professionals and Wharton-affiliated companies seeking capital by hosting investment forums on a periodic basis. In addition, WIN maintains a data room of investment opportunities that can be accessed at any time. The goal is to provide investors with access to a pool of candidates for investment while making the funding process much more efficient and streamlined for both sides. WIN is inviting companies that are beyond the start-up phase and are in search of traditional venture capital/private equity investment and investment professionals to participate in this group.
