Connecting students with the industry's leading trading firms.
Partnership
Why firms sponsor us
- What it funds
- Sponsor contributions fuel the Berkeley Trading Competition end to end — primarily participant prize money and travel reimbursements, plus the marketing and infrastructure that let us recruit competitors and host the event.
- Benefits
- Coffee chats, career events, resume book access, and brand recognition — full details are in our sponsorship deck. Traders at Berkeley relies entirely on its sponsors to run the competition.
- Recruitment
- Firms gain exclusive networking with top-performing students and can host info sessions. UC Berkeley and other West Coast schools produce some of the best technical talent in the country — historically underexposed to the financial industry — and partnering with us taps directly into that pool.
- Advisors
- We welcome professional advisors with significant quantitative-trading experience as a bridge between their firms and our students — offering insight, mentorship, and guest lectures in our DeCal, IEOR 198: Introduction to Quantitative Finance. See our current advisors on the members page.
