NYU IST ’28 · Prev. Co-Founder @ Neurobane

I am a junior at New York University studying Information Systems and Technology, graduating in 2028. I am seeking a Summer 2027 internship in private wealth management.

I previously co-founded Neurobane, a neurodiagnostics company applying neuroimaging and machine learning to psychiatric diagnosis. My work there was primarily commercial and analytical. I built the financial model, cost structure, and unit economics; wrote the market analysis that informed our pricing and go-to-market strategy; managed vendor selection and negotiation; and ran a 344-contact business development pipeline of discovery calls with clinicians, hospital administrators, and telehealth providers. We raised over $400,000 from angel investors and private grants, and I owned the investor materials and most of the direct investor communication.

Most of my time went to conversations with individuals deciding whether to put their own money into the company. Many were retired and investing personally rather than through a fund. The shared underlying work was to understand what the person actually cared about, explain a technically complicated business in terms that mattered to them, and follow through consistently enough to keep their confidence.

That was the strongest part of my work and the part I want to keep doing professionally in Private Wealth Management. It combines financial analysis, client communication, and relationships measured over years, and the day-to-day is closer to what I was already doing than anything else I have looked at.

Areas of focus: private wealth management, financial modeling, financial analysis, valuation, market research, business development, client relationship management, capital raising, investor relations.
