I had some doubts about receiving outside help to break into product. When I met with Cory it was a no brainer. He is thoughtful, professional, and he really cares about your success. He helped me identify great opportunities and gave me the appropriate strategies for networking, interviewing, and how to approach product in general. I can’t thank Cory enough and would recommended him to anyone looking to break into product.

IB and PE interviews are an ALL OUT FIGHT AND UPHILL BATTLE! The one question everyone should consider when they select a coach is “Can I see this person being in “the ring” with me and in my corner as I battle out these interviews / prep?” People need someone they can come back to after they’ve been beaten up a little and get real-time feedback and ultimate support. Connor is THAT guy. Trust me. Connor has been an excellent coach for me during IB and PE interviews and career navigation. Connor possesses many great qualities as a coach and investor. He is very smart, thoughtful, decisive, not easily emotionally swayed, and has pure intentions to help others!

Connor spent a lot of time with me to help me prepare for PE interviews. He has a lot of knowledge and connections that he used to set me up for success. He helped me frame my investment thesis, work on my story, gave me technical resources, and mock interviewed me. I was able to land an offer at a megafund and I largely attribute that to Connor’s help.

Karla has provided me with invaluable career advice that I carry with me throughout my academic and professional career. She has edited countless versions of my resume, college application essays and internship applications across our mentor-mentee relationship. She has provided me with the confidence and strategies to be a strong and competitive candidate during interviews and the job application process. As a first generation college student, she provided me with the tools and resources I needed to successfully transition from high school to college. Whenever I had a question or needed to talk out future academic or career plans, Karla used her free time to meet in-person or chat on the phone at a moment's notice! Karla's resourcefulness and passion demonstrates her determination to help others and see them succeed. It has been a pleasure having her as a mentor for five plus years and I wouldn't be where I am today without her coaching and advice.

I’ve had numerous conversations with Ryan over the last few years as I began recruiting for investment banking, working in IB and now working within software private equity. Ryan’s insights are genuine, thoughtful and invaluable as I considered multiple different regions and verticals. Ryan has been coaching me for years and I continue to reach out to him as my career progresses!
