"As a PhD in biotech, I didn’t know how to approach hedge funds at first. The database made it much easier to understand the landscape and find the right people. I connected with a few hedge fund founders on the list that shared my personal, education, and professional affinity, which led to multiple conversations and eventually a hedge fund job offer. I still use it today to network across the buy-side."
Iris C., Biotech Ph.D. turned hedge fund analyst"I joined because I am interested in learning about the public investing industry. Looking forward to diving into all of your content."
Jason"Really appreciate the insight you have on the industry. Got a buy-side gig out of school and grinding to make it to a fund one day. Thanks man and happy holidays."
CDH Capital"Excited to find out more about hedge funds in the US. If you need help in London let me know!"
Edward Blad"As a sell-side associate, I appreciate the color on the buy-side as I think about the steps for the transition."
