One of the MI3’s core action learning activities is the MBA Impact Investment Network and Training (MIINT), a program run by the Wharton Social Impact Initiative in partnership with Bridges Ventures. In this program, teams are organized by sectors (e.g. healthcare, financial inclusion, environment, etc.) and go through the full impact investing process: conducting research on sectors, sourcing potential social ventures, completing due diligence, writing an investment memo, and presenting to an investment committee. The winning team will receive a $50,000K investment in the social enterprise they pitched. Mi3 has a designated “Fellows” program for students who are interested in participating in MIINT. Students must apply to become a fellow and are organized into sector teams (each with ~4 students).

Internal Competition / Conference

Mi3 hosts an internal competition in the Spring to decide which team will represent MIT Sloan at the international MIINT competition. The teams will be judged by a panel of expert impact investors. Previous judges have included representatives from DBL Partners, Tau Investment Management, Endeavor, Omidyar Network Harvard Institute for Responsible Investing, Madeira Global, and MIT. Following the competition, there will be a series of panels on trends in impact investing and a happy hour.
