My name is Rishi and I'm a sophomore at UC Berkeley majoring in Economics, Data Science, and Business Administration. During my Summer 2024 internship at a derivatives trading firm in Singapore, I developed a deep interest in investing and all things finance. I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts and posts as much as I enjoy writing them.

My name is Ishaan Verma and I’m a sophomore at UC Berkeley pursuing a dual degree in Statistics and Economics. My summer 2024 internship at Unity Growth Fund in Northern Virginia instilled an enduring passion for finance, particularly investing and enabled a deeper understanding of successful business models. I started to see the real life applications of my classes in the world of finance and how concepts like data analysis and market research can be used to evaluate investment opportunities and drive strategic IPOs.
