| Sponsored by the Graduate Programs Office and hosted by the Koch Center for Family Enterprise and Permanent Equity and Broadview Group investment groups, this year’s Olin Impact Competition will focus on The Future of Private Investment in the Middle Market.In 2024, Olin Business School partnered with The Brookings Institution to map the motivations of owners, the behavior of investors, and the experience of employees in the transition of ownership in the middle market. Building on this data, this year’s case competition asks students to present an innovative private investment model for middle-market businesses. In doing so, students will look to explore opportunities for innovation in 1) strategies for extended time horizon investment that address the need for investor liquidity, 2) the role of employee ownership in fund design, 3) the mix of private debt and equity investment, and 4) the right mix of strategies and data analytics to drive value and track its accrual. Selected teams will travel to St. Louis to present their recommendations to leading middle-market investment firms and key faculty experts. |
