Private Markets Group (PMG) is a student-led platform at the University of Minnesota dedicated to equipping aspiring finance professionals with the knowledge, network, and resources needed to break into private markets.
As VC, growth equity, and PE firms increasingly recruit undergraduates, and with the UMN endowment expanding its own private markets allocation, Carlson students need a direct line to the industry. PMG is that line.
As private markets accelerate as an asset class, VC, growth equity, and PE firms are increasingly hiring undergraduate students. The UMN endowment is also exploring greater allocation into private market assets.
With early recruiting timelines, Carlson undergrads face a gap in access, missing out on the exposure needed to fully understand the industry, build technical skills, and compete for top private markets roles.
