Join Us
Join Project Paradise as a student or mentor. Work on quant finance projects, enter trading competitions, and learn by building.
Everyone Starts Somewhere
If you’re curious and want to learn by building things with other students, come join.
What it’s like:
- You pick what you work on (or start something new)
- You learn by doing, with help from mentors and other members
- No pressure to perform. We’re all learning.
- You own your work
Python is highly recommended. Most of our projects and competitions use it, so some familiarity will help you get started faster. Beyond that, some basics in statistics and maths go a long way.

Everything else you can pick up as you go: C++ Finance Machine Learning
Mentors
If you’re a professional in quantitative finance, trading, or software engineering, we’d appreciate your help. The commitment is flexible.
What mentors do:
- Help students think through problems
- Review code and research when asked
- Share what the industry is like
- Be around when someone gets stuck

What Happens Next
We’ll get back to you within a few days. Usually it’s just a quick chat to say hi, hear what you’re interested in, and point you toward things you might enjoy working on.
