BlackGen Capital at Northwestern

Our founding

Underrepresented minorities historically have disproportionately less access to financial training. At BlackGen, we look to close the access gap between corporate opportunities and minority students looking to pursue a career in financial services industry.

What we strive for

BlackGen Capital has three key objectives. We aim to educate, invest, and grow. We aspire to form a community where students continue to challenge the status quo and develop both professionally and socially.

Educate: Analysts undergo a rigorous education series to prepare them for the investing cycle, internships, and interviews. 

Invest: Analysts undergo a rigorous education series to prepare them for the investing cycle, internships, and interviews. 

Grow: BlackGen Capital fosters a community where students from all intellectual backgrounds can grow together. 

Who we are

BlackGen Capital is a 100% minority-owned student investment fund. New members will undergo a standardized 10-week educational series, where students learn the fundamentals of finance. After receiving this training, students have the opportunity to propose equity investment ideas to the BlackGen Capital investment fund. Along with our education, our students have direct access to corporate sponsors and exclusive career opportunities.
