Description:
BlackGen Capital is a 100% minority-owned student investment fund founded in November 2019 at Cornell University to address the underrepresentation of Black, Hispanic, and Native American students in the financial services industry. The organization provides a standardized 10-week educational series where members learn the fundamentals of finance, followed by opportunities to propose equity investment ideas to the fund. With over 500 members across multiple university chapters, including the University of Chicago, BlackGen Capital maintains a 100% placement rate for senior members and manages assets exceeding $100,000. The fund's mission is to close the access gap by creating a pipeline for talented minority students interested in entering the financial services industry.
