Hamilton Lane Trip
During the 2025 Spring Semester, PMC took a trip to the Hamilton Lane Headquarters in Conshohocken, PA. Students gained insight into the firm's operations through an engaging overview of its work in private markets. They then tackled a real estate case study based on a recent deal, explored various sub-sectors, and wrapped up the day with a lively networking lunch alongside professionals ranging from junior analysts to senior leaders. PMC is looking forward to future events with Hamilton Lane.
Case Competition
In the Spring semester of 2025, PMC members competed in an internal venture capital case competition. The focus of the competition was on later-stage ventures as teams were asked to pitch the idea of participating in a hypothetical Series D funding round for Waymo. The teams spent weeks researching the industry, considering fundamental factors such as Waymo’s TAM opportunity, competitive positioning, unit economics, and potential risks. The teams used this research to determine if they should make the investment based on their calculation of IRR.
2022 Case Competition
PMC is proud to share our 2022 Case Competition which focused on Peloton Inc. Our six teams performed a quantitative and qualitative analysis of Peloton, provided insight on how management can improve operations, and recommended a buy, sell, or hold for shareholders. We would like to thank Zachary Bagdon, John Stocker, and Keith Walter for taking the time to serve as judges for the competition. We'd also like to thank our heads of education, Ean Kiely and Trent Zuspann, for their hard work putting the competition together. (Spring 2022)
