The TIS Private Investing Day is an exclusive, day-long experience designed to connect top USC students with leaders across venture capital, private equity, and growth investing. Hosted in San Francisco, the event brings together distinguished Trojan alumni from prominent investment firms to share insights, advice, and mentorship.

Through a mix of presentations, panels, and small-group discussions, students gain an insider’s view into the world of private investing. Topics include current market trends, different investment strategies, and pathways for career progression in the industry. Attendees also receive practical guidance on breaking into investing roles, with opportunities to build lasting relationships with alumni and peers.

Participation is selective, drawing high-achieving undergraduate students in finance, economics, business, and related fields. Selection for this event is application-based and only open to current junior and senior members of TIS.

This event represents a rare chance to engage closely with accomplished alumni, expand professional networks, and explore the dynamic landscape of private investing.
