ICM Institute Joins Wharton Impact to Lead Turner MIINT Into Its Next Chapter
Turner MIINT provides more than 400 graduate students annually—representing 35 top programs across six countries—with hands-on experience in impact investing. The program culminates in a pitch competition on Wharton’s campus where finalist teams present real early-stage impact ventures to a panel of industry judges, many drawn from the program’s 5,000+ alumni, for the chance to win a $50,000 equity or debt investment.
Since its inception, Turner MIINT has benefited from the steadfast partnership of the Bridges Impact Foundation. Wharton Impact, the ICM Institute and the Turner MIINT community extend their deep gratitude to Bridges, who have served as co-producer for more than a decade. In recognition of their legacy, the student team with the best impact analysis each year will be awarded The Bridges Impact Prize.
“We are excited to welcome the ICM Institute as our new co-producer,” said Bobby Turner, CEO and Principal of Turner Impact Capital and namesake of the Turner MIINT. “Their unparalleled network of leading impact investors and commitment to talent development will help take the MIINT competition to new heights.”
Starting in the 2025 academic year, the ICM Institute will assume the co-producer role, working alongside Wharton Impact to shape curriculum, oversee operations, lead fundraising, and set strategic direction. Leveraging its affiliated association of 140+ leading private capital funds—managing more than $80 billion and invested in over 4,000 companies—the ICM Institute will deepen industry connections for participants.
