Mentorship
Mentorship at the Academy is simple: small groups, focused conversations, and honest feedback on the work you are already doing—or want to start.
Structure, not status.
Mentorship is offered in limited-capacity pods. A pod is a small group that meets for a fixed period, usually centered around a reading list, a project theme, or a shared technical topic.
Sessions focus on questions, drafts, and code that participants bring to the table. The goal is to surface better questions, not to hand out a checklist of "right answers."
Some pods explore topics that are also relevant to the broader work of ABX Capital Partners Ventures, such as financial infrastructure, risk tooling, or data platforms, but the focus remains educational.
What mentorship covers
Pods differ, but most touch some combination of technical, analytical, and career-shaping topics.
Research habits
- Documenting assumptions and experiments
- Keeping a research notebook that ages well
- Communicating results to non-technical readers
Career perspectives
- Understanding roles across quant, data, and engineering
- Thinking about risk, not just compensation
- Building portfolios of work, not buzzwords
What mentorship is not
Mentorship is not a hiring pipeline, interview coaching product, or guarantee of any outcome. Participation in a pod does not create any client, employee, or investor relationship with ABX Capital Partners or any related entity.
It is simply a structured way to talk honestly about quantitative work, markets, and careers with people who care about the same questions.
