Forbes Magazine named Cougar Capital as the runner-up to its list of the top ten most innovative business classes. From the article,
“Students learn about private equity and venture capital the hard way: by having real skin in the game. Cougar Capital is an investment fund run like a real firm–by students. In 2007 students made $262,405 in returns on their initial $45,000 investment in Riverbed Technologies, a company that had just made its initial public offering. The returns go into an evergreen fund available for future classes, not to the donors.”
