- Use code and AI agents to automate account research, introduction mapping, and memo drafts.
- Create one-pagers for each vertical and develop responses to recurring objections.
- Maintain a clean CRM and conduct the weekly pipeline review.
- During your first 30 days, you will draft exposure memos for 10+ target companies, build an AI-assisted research workflow, and join live CFO calls.
- By day 60, you will broker trades with large market makers alongside the founder.
- By day 90, you will execute trades.
What you'll need#
- Currently studying at or recently graduated from a top-tier university in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Engineering fields.
