Wall Street Bound discovers, trains and mentors urban and minority finance talent, nurturing tomorrow’s successful financial services professionals and traders. Their mission is to create pathways for diverse talent to enter and succeed in the front offices of ‘Wall Street’. “We believe that by teaching the technical skills of equity & data analysis, algo development and trading, we can empower underrepresented young adults to aim beyond their present horizons and embark on fulfilling careers as finance and investment professionals,” states Wall Street Bound Founder and CEO, Troy Prince. “You can only become a trader if someone with capital is willing to give you the opportunity to gain the experience.” Troy Prince is a Wall Street veteran with more than two decades of industry experience and he is now dedicated to connecting typically overlooked urban talent with the capital markets and investment opportunities.
