Hi all -
When I was an undergrad, I went through a pretty broad networking process to get into investment banking (1k+ emails sent). I went to a non-target so quickly burned through alumni and was pretty much finding random people on LinkedIn to target.
I managed to break into investment banking and am currently an associate and after getting spammed with dozens of half assed emails a day, I realized there's no good solution for students to really find the right people.
So I built Superdayiq.com, where I've curated 11k+ investment banker profiles with verified data - professional data like email, firm, group, location, and personal traits for connection like sports, clubs, majors, and schools. All built into an end-to-end CRM platform with in-app outreach + tracker.
Happy to answer any questions but would first love to get feedback from any prospective users. There's a free tier that lets you sample the database + use CRM features.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights and feedback regarding networking tools and strategies for investment banking:

Suggestions for Improvement:
Superdayiq.com seems to address a significant gap in the networking process for non-target students, and its features align well with the strategies recommended in WSO threads.

For all students, get yourself linkedin and just filter by Bank and school.... that is free... and you do it for every bank and your own school. Typically if you have like 20+ alumns total in banking imagine how fast this is vs using this app..
I've def heard this sentiment, but a few points of pushback:
(a) LinkedIn is not free, you need to pay for premium or it limits your searches and greys out names/URLs. Most students who are heavily networking pay for LinkedIn premium.
(b) this delivers verified email
(c) profiles in the database have all sorts of other identifiers like sports or frat that aren't easily surfaceable on LinkedIn due to their search restrictions
(d) CRM itself has some value, probably (hopefully lol)
yea i get it. Also isn't it illegal to resell linkedin data? If you want this to be a larger business id presume
Impressive and great interface, but for the average college student its so much easier and cheaper to filter through LinkedIn and banks pages
I've def heard this sentiment, but a few points of pushback:
(a) LinkedIn is not free, you need to pay for premium or it limits your searches and greys out names/URLs. Most students who are heavily networking pay for LinkedIn premium. At $15/month the analyst tier is actually much cheaper than LinkedIn ($50/month).

There are Google programmable search engine links that let you find linkedin profiles without paying for premium. In addition, tools like Apollo already let you check emails and double as a CRM.
How do the verified emails work? Would definitely consider if I was confident in those.
