Join our impact investing and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
The Tarrson Fund is where impact investors and entrepreneurs at Booth get their start. With a focus on building an impact ecosystem, we take a partnership approach to all that we do: making investments, growing our portfolio companies, and building a pipeline of impact-oriented investing and startup talent.

We’re bullish on a future that marries profit and purpose, but are deeply aware of the nuance and rigor required when these two missions intersect. We love helping students get their feet wet, test this space, and become more knowledgeable about how to blend the two for greater impact and returns.
We love meeting students interested in Impact Investing and the work of the Tarrson Fund, whether you’re a potential applicant to Booth or a current Booth or other MBA student.
Tell us who you are and how we can be helpful, and we’ll connect you with the right person from our team.
We deeply value mentorship in the dynamic, ever-evolving Impact Investing field and are so grateful for our alumni who give time and resources generously, professionals who take pride in mentorship and education, and faculty and staff who are committed to student success.
With demand from students outpacing the supply of opportunities to grow and learn, we’re always looking for more mentors, advisors, and supporters to help answer questions about the industry, give talks on their areas of expertise, guide student deal teams with industry-specific diligence, and share career insights.
If this sounds like you, please reach out to us and let us know how you’d like to be involved.
Standing up a fund is no small feat. Congrats on diving into this adventure! We believe that financial and impact returns are not mutually exclusive, and there’s no better time to learn how to invest than while in school. We leaned on the small community of existing student-led impact funds, and we’re always looking to pay it forward.
Whether you’re considering launching a fund or already in the thick of it, we’re happy to share our thinking and lessons. Just send us a note at tarrsonfund@chicagobooth.edu.
