The Short Version

Interest with evidence, not a perfect resume

We care about curiosity, momentum, and one concrete thing you tried. If you have that, apply — background and polish are secondary.

What You Get

Trade ideas with students on the same track. Join speaker meetings small enough to ask real questions.

Discovery Day prep, resume review, outreach reps, mock interviews, and post-cycle debriefs before deadlines hit.

First access to market-making games, trading challenges, roadmaps, and reading lists that turn study time into progress.

Visibility with partner firms like Jane Street and Hudson River Trading through info sessions and resume book access.

Team sprints and builder trials where you finish real work — the kind you can point to in an interview.

A track, a rep schedule, and a short list of firms to target — so you're not improvising the week before a deadline.

How It Works

Send proof of work, a learning loop, resume, and any serious academic or project signal.

Forwarded applicants get a hidden sprint page for lane choice and approach notes.

Selected applicants get a scheduling page to share availability and focus areas.

Accepted members start with a short team sprint where reliability becomes visible.

Still Deciding?

If you're not sure whether this is for you, take the track quiz or play a minigame first. The answer usually shows up inside 20 minutes.

Track quiz: find your lane — trader, researcher, or developer.

Minigames: get reps in market making, estimation, and options intuition.

Rubric: see exactly what a strong application shows.

Semester plan: build one so your application lands on something real.

One concrete artifact plus a clear learning loop is enough. Strong academics and projects count when they connect to curiosity.
