Our History
WPEC was founded in 2024 by a small group of driven students who saw a gap in buy-side education at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Today, we connect UW-Madison's alumni with the student body and broader university platform to shape the next generation of finance professionals. We believe Badger talent belongs on Wall Street, and we're proud to support the campus community's work to achieve that goal.
Private Equity Starts Here. At Madison.
WPEC offers programming ranging from workshops led by industry experts, to advanced resources like PE recruiting guides and modeling courses. Members can participate in case competitions, network with leaders in finance, and attend our flagship event–the Private Capital Conference (PCC). The largest finance event on campus, the PCC brings together top bankers, private equity professionals, and students for a day of discovery and connection.
