Sponsors
Connecting students with professionals
Thank you to our 2023-2024 industry sponsors!
About
Sponsor contributions fuel the Traders at Berkeley competition in all aspects, from marketing to competition infrastructure. Firms interested in sponsoring this competition may contact sponsors [at] traders.berkeley.edu.
Benefits
Detailed sponsorship benefits are outlined in the Sponsorship Deck. Such benefits include coffee chats, career events, resume book access, and brand recognition. Traders at Berkeley relies entirely on sponsors to develop the trading competition, recruit competitors, and host the competition. Sponsor contributions are primarily used for participant's prize money and travel reimbursements.
Recruitment
Participating companies will have exclusive networking opportunities with top-performing students and host informational sessions.
UC Berkeley and other West Coast schools host some of the best tech talent which has historically lacked exposure to the financial industry. By partnering with Traders at Berkeley, sponsors can tap into this strong talent pool and develop recruiting relations with some of the best quantitative students in the world.
Advisors
We are always open to professional advisors with significant industry experience in the quantitative trading industry to advise Traders at Berkeley. Advisors serve as a bridge between the trading firms they represent and students. Advisors often provide valuable insights into the industry and can help students with mentorship and career advice.
Each semester our advisors are invited to teach guest lectures for our DeCal, CS 198-134 Introduction to Quantitative Finance.
