The Forum That Opens Doors

RISE is a premier investment banking forum — two unfiltered hours inside the room where San Francisco's finance elite speak candidly to the next generation.

Two Berkeley student moderators lead an intimate, high-signal conversation with senior bankers from the most prestigious firms in the Bay Area. Deal flow, career trajectories, firm culture, and what it genuinely takes to break into the industry. Nothing is off the table.
