first outreach
Most students don't know where to start — they don't have a list of firms, don't know who to email, and spend hours writing messages that never get replies. We fix all three.

- Direct contact info for the right person at each firm
- Auto-generated cold emails personalized to your background and the firm
- Battle-tested templates with proven response rates

The best free certifications and study materials to prove you're serious about boutique IB — before you even walk in the door.
Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC)
Why it matters for boutiques
Proves terminal proficiency — a massive plus for incoming analysts at boutique banks. Shows you can hit the ground running on Day 1.
Where to find it
Free on physical Bloomberg Terminals at university finance labs. Otherwise $149 online through Bloomberg.
Forage Virtual Experience Programs
Why it matters for boutiques
Provides verifiable certificates for completing real-world M&A and Markets job simulations from top firms. Great resume line item.

CFI Foundation Courses
Why it matters for boutiques
Free foundational certificates (like Accounting Fundamentals) that prove you understand the language of banking. Recruiters notice these.

Free on the Corporate Finance Institute website. Start with their Accounting, Excel, and Financial Analysis courses.
The "Unofficial" Certification: A From-Scratch Financial Model
Why it matters for boutiques
Boutique banks heavily weight technical assessments — paper LBOs, timed DCFs. Building a 3-statement model from scratch is the best proof of capability.
Where to find it
Self-study using free resources like Macabacus, ASimpleModel.com, and Street of Walls. Build it, walk through it, and bring it to interviews.
Built for students breaking in — not seasoned professionals
If you don't have a warm network or know where to start, you're exactly who we built this for.
“I got rejected from the finance clubs at UCLA, and I honestly didn't know where to start for recruiting in investment banking. I found BridgeIB and generated my free lead, and from that I found my first internship. After buying the pro plan I got 8 interviews within the first week, and have since landed both spring and summer internships.”

Landed spring and summer internships
“I found out I wanted to pursue IB in March and I felt like I was way behind. I did not have a stacked resume like my other friends who were recruiting, and I had a hard time knowing who to even reach out to. The whole process was overwhelming. However, I bought the pro plan from BridgeIB and I got my spring and summer internship almost instantly. It honestly lifted a weight off my shoulders, so if you are late to recruiting I definitely recommend it.”

Got spring and summer internships
“Coming from a non-target it is so hard to find internships that will accept me. The curated list of investment banks I got from the pro plan was incredibly helpful. I ended up getting 8 interviews, where I could show my technical knowledge, and it helped me break the barrier of coming from a non-target. If you are struggling getting your first internships, I would definitely recommend buying the pro plan.”
