Everyone who participates will enjoy free pizza and drinks. RSVP HERE!

The rules are simple. The competition will take place in pairs. One partner will be the market maker who offers bids and ask prices to traders on an uncertain item. The other partner is a trader who makes trades with market makers from other teams at the quoted price. Every five minutes, new information about the item is released allowing the players to better estimate the items value. Once the game ends everyone’s trades are recorded and the team with the highest gross profit wins.

Hey M&Ts,

While you are enjoying your Valentine’s Day Artisserie Chocolate Café (Not Naked Chocolate. Thanks for the astute correction, Diego.) please read about the following Ryzing and Spot Trading corporate events and the upcoming BBL with Sarah Dong.

Do not forget to bring copies of your RESUME to the Ryzing & Spot Trading  events!

 

Ryzing, TOMORROW, 2/15, 6-7pm, JMHH F70

Ryzing is a social gaming company with the highest rated real prize sweepstakes based bingo game on Facebook.  We are led by Manu Gambhir, an M&T Grad and serial gaming entrepreneur.  Ryzing is out of the 76 Capital portfolio (Publishers of the Dexter iPhone Game and co founders of Artists & Instigators with Marc Ecko).

 

We are looking for individuals interested in Venture Capital, Gaming, Probabilities, Micro transactions, Predictive Analytics, Entrepreneurship, technology, mobile applications, Facebook, engagement marketing, software engineering and getting exposure to a team who have successfully exited companies before.

 

This is not your typical internship and we will be relying heavily on your skills, intuition, and dedication to achieving optimal results. You do not need to have all of the skills above, but if you enjoy a challenge and want to get exposure to the life of a fully funded technology start up, Ryzing can provide that exposure.  We are looking for innovative minds to join our team.  We are not trying to accommodate a resume build, nor hand hold you through creating intensive and robust excel models.  We are not trying to have a coffee fetcher or a twiddle my thumbs and tuck myself away in the corner type.

 

You want to work hard, learn about a rapidly growing industry, and make strong connections in the mid-atlantic entrepreneurship/investment community, then show up and see what this is about.

 

Min Spring Hours: 10 per week.

Min Summer Hours: 20 per week

 

Opportunities are open now for the right candidate. Show your interest if you want on board.

Spot Trading, Thursday, 2/17, 6-7pm, JMHH G65

Spot Trading is a proprietary trading firm specializing in Equity Options. We are located in Chicago and have roughly 140 employees.

 

We target students with a quantitative and analytic background and found that the students in the Jerome Fisher program that we spoke to are ideal candidates for our trading desk.
