Student Impact Investment Fund (SIIF)

SIIF represents several student-led impact investing initiatives at top business schools and universities globally. These programs provide graduate students with hands-on experience in impact investing and venture capital through real fund management.

SIIF aims to empower graduate students by providing them with practical experience in impact investing, focusing on ventures that deliver measurable social impact alongside financial returns. The program addresses the need for skilled professionals in the impact investing space and fosters a new generation of socially responsible investors.

Designed for Students. The program is in person. Participation is generally part time.

Eligibility is typically limited to students at specific institutions, including London Business School, NYU Stern, Harvard, and UCLA Anderson. Check individual program websites for application details.

The selection process for team membership is highly selective, focusing on commitment, experience, and industry knowledge. Limited slots are available for second-year MBA students.

Participants gain hands-on investment experience, real portfolio management responsibility, and the opportunity to network with impact investors and entrepreneurs. They also develop investment thesis and diligence skills, receive mentorship from experienced practitioners, and gain exposure to impact measurement frameworks.

SIIF describes its investment process as running from September through June. These are the process months, not confirmed dates or an exact participant-program duration; dates for a future cohort are not established.
