Core Values

Growth

At Kinzie, we are hard-wired for growth and strengthened by relationships. We create value by designing innovative strategies, pursuing meaningful partnerships and celebrating change. We challenge ourselves – and each other – to be better than we were yesterday.

Relentless

At Kinzie, our legacy is success. Our standards only move in one direction – forward. We bravely accept challenges and pride ourselves on finding solutions and delivering more than promised.

Innovative

At Kinzie, we are curious intellectuals. We remain adaptive and competitive by leveraging technological advances, exploring new processes and encouraging ingenuity in our solutions.

Team

At Kinzie, we win as a team. We own outcomes collectively and understand that individual roles and successes are inseparable from the larger achievement of our company goals.

Diverse Mindset

At Kinzie, diversity is in our company’s DNA. We actively seek a global view and embrace our unique cultural, educational and career backgrounds. We learn from each other and challenge biases to make thoughtful decisions.

Internship Program

We host several MBA graduate students and undergraduate students throughout the year through our partnerships with The University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Northwestern University. Kinzie interns receive an immersive experience in private equity, with direct access to senior management and the entire investment process. Along with a high-touch approach and professional mentorship, our interns have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of the firm including social, volunteer and educational activities.

We have developed a supportive culture and dynamic experience with our internship program, and are proud to introduce each new class of interns to the Kinzie way.
