# Georgetown Student Capital Partners

> Georgetown Student Capital Partners is a student-run nonprofit at Georgetown University that combines finance education with real client work. After training in accounting, valuation and modeling, student analysts join four- or five-person teams that support private equity and venture capital firms with research and diligence, while separate teams advise Georgetown-linked startups on metrics, pitch materials, valuation and investor outreach. Its services are free to partner firms and pro bono for startups, making the organization less a conventional investment company than a campus apprenticeship and advisory exchange.
