Annual Mentor Program Survey

This important initiative, now in its 19th year, pairs alumni with 2Y MBA students in the Wharton PE/VC Club. To volunteer as a mentor, you need to be a:

• Wharton or UPenn alumni;
• Professional making investments in private equity, venture capital, private credit, other private alternatives strategies or as a limited partner; and
• VP / Principal level and above.
Your responses will help us create the best possible match. For additional information about the Mentor Program visit our web page.

2.How many students will you mentor? Mentor responsibilities run through the school year (Fall 2026 - Spring 2027), though we hope long term relationships are developed.(Required.)

4.Industry sector. Your response should be your sector(s), not necessarily your firm. (Check all that apply.)(Required.)
5.Investment geography. Your individual investment focus vs your firm. (Check all that apply.) Many students are interested in Europe, Asia, South America, etc. and while we can not necessarily match students with mentors in that region, we hope by including investment geography, mentors will be able to offer helpful and relevant insights to those markets.(Required.)
6.Prior to your current role, where do you have experience? (Check all that apply.)
7.Relevant Experience. Provide most relevant experience prior to Wharton or any other information you would like to share (company / industry / location), even if not PE/VC related, and that will help us make an appropriate match.
