Investor @ Penn Wharton Innovation Fund (PWIF)
Sep 2024
Founded in 1881 as the world’s first collegiate business school, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania remains guided by Joseph Wharton’s original vision: using analytical expertise to produce well-rounded leaders to drive societal progress. As we continue our quest for positive global impact, the Wharton Way serves as our philosophical North Star with three areas of focus – elevating our research impact, innovating through our pedagogy, and collaborating across disciplines and divides. With a standing faculty of 241 renowned professors, Wharton has 5,000+ students across four degree programs: undergraduate, MBA, executive MBA, and doctoral. Each year 13,000+ professionals from around the world advance their careers through Wharton Executive Education’s individual, company-customized, and online programs – with 200,000+ others earning certificates from Wharton Online since 2015. More than 104,000 Wharton alumni form a powerful global network of leaders who transform business every day.
