Description About The Greenwood Project

At Greenwood Project, we open doors in financial services for undergraduate freshmen. We give our scholars three things: social capital, the network that comes from knowing people inside the industry. Academic and technical capital, the training the work actually requires. And aspirational capital, the belief that the seat belongs to you.

This is not a workshop series. Scholars commit to twelve months of training, deliver real work on real deadlines, and finish knowing whether this industry is for them. Many go on to internships and full time offers at our partner firms. All of them leave with a network they did not have before.

The Investment Banking Academy

This academy trains investment banking. We want to be straight with you about that before you apply. Over twelve months you will learn to read a set of financial statements, estimate what a business is actually worth, and defend that number to someone who disagrees with you. That is the core of the investment banking analyst job.

The training travels, which is the part worth understanding. Private equity, sales and trading, and equity research all recruit on the same technical foundation, and many people reach those seats by starting in investment banking. But the programming here is investment banking, and you should want that.

What this academy trains Investment banking. Advising companies on how to raise money, buy another company, or go public. The twelve months are built around financial modeling, valuation, and deal analysis. Where that training can take you Private equity. Buying companies, improving them, and selling them. Most people get there after investment banking, not instead of it. Sales and trading. Buying and selling investments for clients in live markets. Equity research. Studying public companies and forming
