Launch your finance career before you graduate
The landscape of opportunities across the financial markets and consulting ecosystem is evolving rapidly. Traditional areas such as investment management and investment banking are seeing a sharp decline in internship and entry-level roles, largely due to the exponential growth of AI capabilities.
We help students navigate this shifting paradigm by identifying emerging opportunities, expanding their networks, and connecting them with seasoned professionals. Our proven framework has enabled students to secure internships as early as their freshman year—both during and outside of the academic semester—and continue building experience throughout college, ultimately leading to multiple full-time job offers.

Generic career services aren't enough
Internships that were traditionally coveted either do no exist anymore or are far fewer. Good grades in the "right" major alone are not enough. Our framework of ecosystem education, opportunity awareness, professional branding, network building and industry connections can give you that extra advantage.
