Wharton Impact Venture Associates (WIVA) offers best-in-class experiential education in impact investing.

With oversight and training from Wharton Social Impact Initiative, Wharton and Penn students source and conduct rigorous due diligence on high-impact start-ups, and then help facilitate companies’ drive to raise capital with potential investors.

“WIVA members are high-performing Penn and Wharton students who aren’t just learning about impact investing—they’re working on real-world deals. It’s no surprise the WIVA team helped facilitate over $1 million for their first deal. I’m proud of this exceptional experiential education that’s shaping future leaders in impact investing.”
