For finance and investment societies
Help your members understand the roles, build the skills and become job-ready faster.
Every student can use our career intelligence, practical tools, technical drills and gamified learning for free. For partner societies we add a 20% member discount and agree a programme with the committee: branded challenges, practitioner-led sessions and events that reach members, interns and alumni.
Core tools and resources: free. Partner-society member discount: 20%. The partnership programme, delivery format and any associated fees: agreed with your committee. No exclusivity and no minimum attendance.

What your members get out of it
Too many students spend months working out what different roles involve, only to discover later what those roles actually test. L3VLUP shortens both halves of that.
Understand the roles faster
Career Intel maps 18 paths across banking, private equity, hedge funds, research, quant and tech: what the seat actually does, what it pays at each level, and what leads where. A member decides what to aim at on evidence rather than on hearsay from the year above.
Build the technical skills the role expects
36 timed drills, marked as you build: paper LBO, WACC, accretion and dilution, the EV bridge, a full capital structure, a three-statement linker, market sizing and numerical reasoning. Short enough to do between lectures, hard enough to matter.
Prepare for applications and interviews
45 technical questions with the answers and the traps inside them, 109 guides from the cover letter to the assessment centre, a mock interview that makes them answer before it shows the model answer, and CV and cover letter tools that export properly.
Compete for the windows that are open now
A live tracker of spring weeks, internships and graduate programmes, refreshed daily from the firms’ own careers feeds, with a personal pipeline so nothing is applied to twice and nothing is missed.
Keep developing after the first offer
Alumni panels, practitioner Q&As and sector sessions for members who are already interning or working, so the society stays useful to a third year and a graduate, not only to a fresher.
We do not promise anyone a job, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. What we shorten is the distance between discovering a role and being ready to compete for it.
Open access

Opportunity and deadline tracker
Every spring week, internship and graduate programme we can find, closest deadline first, refreshed daily from the firms’ own careers feeds. The question your group chat asks a hundred times a term, answered by one link.

Partner societies
What a partnership can include
Everything above stays free either way. A partnership is built with your committee rather than taken off a shelf, so treat this as the menu: we agree the programme, the delivery format, the responsibilities on each side and any associated fees before anything is confirmed.
20% off for your members
Verified members of a partner society get 20% off L3VLUP Pro, the bootcamps, the Financial Modelling Sprint and 1:1 sessions, against our standard published prices.
A society-branded challenge and live leaderboard
One branded challenge per academic year: a page on the drill you choose, your society’s name on it, and a live table for the week it runs.
Practitioner-led sessions
Up to one session per academic term, depending on the agreed programme. Dates, content and format are agreed with your committee and subject to availability.
Committee CV support
Up to five written CV reviews for members of the sitting committee during each academic year, the same review we charge for, plus a direct line for the questions a committee gets asked and cannot answer.
Co-branded assets and landing pages
Graphics sized for your channels, suggested copy for the announcement and the reminder, and a co-branded landing page where an event warrants one.
Society and alumni events
Programming that reaches current members, your alumni and outside practitioners: panels, Q&As, career path and sector sessions, technical workshops and networking.
Guides and resources you may share
Reprint any guide or glossary entry in your newsletter or handbook with attribution and a link. No permission email needed each time.
A named L3VLUP contact
One person at our end for programming, joint events and anything your committee wants to try. Committees change every year; the relationship carries over.
How the 20% member discount works
Once a partnership is agreed we issue your society a discount code. For L3VLUP Pro a member enters it in the promotion field at checkout. For the bootcamps, the Financial Modelling Sprint and 1:1 sessions a member requests a discounted payment link and names their society. The code is yours to circulate through your own channels.
- Applies to L3VLUP’s standard published prices
- For verified members of the partner society, and not transferable to anyone else
- Not combinable with another discount or promotional offer
- Valid for new redemptions until the end of the relevant academic year
- We may ask for reasonable evidence of current membership before applying it
Gamified learning, not mascots
Technical preparation is usually solitary, quietly intimidating and hard to keep up week after week. A student who has never built an LBO does not want their first attempt to be in front of an interviewer, and there is nothing to bring them back to a second one. So we built the practice as a game. Members pick an identity in one tap and it follows them across every drill, every daily puzzle and every leaderboard, which turns a private chore into something they compare on Monday.
- Members learn by doing
- Every drill is a build with a number at the end, not a video with a quiz after it. The feedback arrives while the reasoning is still warm.
- Short challenges beat long courses
- Two to fifteen minutes. Repeatable on a bus. Consistency is what moves a technical score, and a drill that fits into a gap in the day gets repeated.
- Scores and leaderboards make it social
- Live tables on the arcade games, daily puzzles with streaks, and a society leaderboard for the week a challenge runs. Friendly competition does the work a reminder email cannot.
- Less intimidating, not less rigorous
- The avatar and the game frame lower the cost of a first attempt. The maths behind the drill is the maths an interviewer sets.
Pick one, keep it
12 animals and 8 colourways. The avatar carries a member’s name and score onto the leaderboard, the dashboard and any result they share.
Your society’s own challenge, in three steps
- 1
We build it
A page on the drill you choose, branded to your society, with graphics and suggested copy for your channels.
- 2
Members race
Seven days, a live table, unlimited retries. Their avatar carries their score.
- 3
You announce the result
We hand over the final table and a recap asset, ready to post.
It costs your committee one announcement and one reminder. No room booking, no speaker, no catering.
A partnership can include one society-branded challenge per academic year. Where a place on the Financial Modelling Sprint is the winner’s prize, it is non-transferable, subject to availability in the next appropriate cohort, and carries no cash alternative.
Events for every stage, not one guest lecture
A partnership can include up to one practitioner-led session per academic term, depending on the agreed programme. Dates, content and format are agreed with your committee and subject to availability. Beyond that we help you programme the year, working with your own alumni and with practitioners from our network so the calendar serves a first year deciding what to aim at and a graduate three years into the job.
Online delivery is the default and is available anywhere. In person is available by agreement, and where delivery outside London needs travel or accommodation we agree the arrangements and any associated costs with you in advance.
Sessions are run by Surojit Chakraverti: Citi Industrials M&A, Rothschild Healthcare M&A, now CIO of a long-short fund and a trainer to banks and funds. Nothing is sold on the night.

Early-career progression
45 minFor members already interning or working: the analyst-to-associate move, the buyside jump, and what compounds in the first three years.
Interns, graduates, alumni
If your committee wants a format that is not listed, propose it. Most of the ones above started as a society asking for something specific. Which of these forms part of your programme is settled when we agree the partnership.
How the partnership works
We start with a conversation about what your committee wants to achieve, then propose the programme, the delivery format and any associated fees. Once the scope, the responsibilities on each side and any fees are agreed, we confirm it in writing, by email or a short agreement, whichever your society prefers. What the partnership then relies on is distribution: we build and run the thing, you get it in front of your members.
What L3VLUP can provide
Depending on the agreed partnership:
- The member tools and resources, free to every student either way
- The sessions or the branded challenge, built around your calendar
- A co-branded landing page where an event warrants one
- Promotional graphics and suggested copy for your channels
- Cross-promotion of your society and the joint activity to our audience
- A recap or results asset after a challenge, ready to post
- The 20% member discount code
- Ongoing programming support across the year
What the society agrees to
As applicable to the agreed collaboration:
- Add L3VLUP to your member resources page, with a link
- Promote agreed events and challenges through your relevant member channels
- Include our name and a link on joint event pages
- Tag or credit L3VLUP in relevant social posts and event recaps
- Permit agreed use of your name and logo in partnership and co-branded materials
- Nominate one committee contact to coordinate activity
- Coordinate any verification of member eligibility the discount needs
No exclusivity and no minimum attendance. What the partnership does depend on is active distribution: reciprocal promotion, and your members actually hearing about what we have built for them.
What a year together can look like
Three shapes that work. Take one as written, or take the parts your calendar has room for. Each is an illustration rather than a fixed package; what your partnership includes is agreed with your committee.
Get everyone applying on time

Investment clubs and finance associations in the US
The same proposition with the calendar shifted. The tracker carries sophomore insight programmes and summer analyst programmes at US banks and funds, the drills are the ones a superday sets, and the briefing is a superday briefing rather than a spring week one. Email with your club and campus and we will send the version that fits your recruiting cycle.
Tell us what your committee wants to achieve
We will propose the programme, the delivery format and the partnership structure. If you would rather start smaller, send your members the tracker today and decide about the rest later.
- What your committee wants the year to achieve
- Your member profile and the careers they are aiming at
- The events or challenges you want to run
- Online or in person
- Whether your alumni are involved
- Co-branding and promotional support
- The partnership scope you have in mind
- Any associated fees
