Winston’s private equity group teamed up with private equity client Bridges Fund Management and the Wharton Social Impact Initiative to sponsor this year’s MBA Impact Investing Network and Training Program (MIINT Program). MIINT is an experiential lab designed to provide the next generation of impact investors with hands-on education in impact investing.

This year, 500 students across 31 schools completed online training modules that guided them through the sourcing and diligence process. The program culminated in April 2019 at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where one team from each school presented their diligence findings for a chance to win up to a $50,000 towards investment in their company.

When MIINT approached Winston for support, our Private Equity team jumped on the opportunity to facilitate creative mechanisms for rendering pro bono legal service. Working collaboratively with the staff at Bridges Impact Foundation, Bridges Fund Management’s nonprofit, Winston organized and developed a comprehensive educational legal mentoring program that was offered to all participants MIINT leading up to the April 2019 competition. The 2019 MIINT Program winning team was Yale, and runners up were Wharton and Oxford.

Winston looks forward to continuing to assist the efforts of The Bridges Impact Foundation by providing mentorship, pro bono legal service, and ongoing support to students involved in this stellar educational program.

The Winston Private Equity team included attorneys Bryan Goldstein and Lilli Scalettar with coordination support from Pro Bono Counsel Tara Moss.
