About Bridge

A student-run program for high school and early college students who want a serious introduction to equity research — especially those from non-target schools or backgrounds without existing exposure to finance.

Mission

Make a real start in finance accessible to more students.

Bridge introduces members to equity research, business analysis, and the way markets actually work — material most students do not encounter until well into college, and that often depends on already having connections in the industry.

We focus on students from non-target, underrepresented, or non-traditional backgrounds. Analysts are assigned to one of four sector teams — technology, healthcare, financials, or consumer & retail — and apply what they learn through weekly research, market commentary, and a final stock pitch, supported by direct mentorship.
