Deltashark ID
Your Deltashark profile is a public, verifiable record of the equity research, financial models, and thesis work you produce while learning. Link it from your CV. When a hiring manager sees it, they see exactly what you can do, not just what you studied.
Research
Original research written by former hedge fund professionals. Continuously updated to reflect evolving market conditions. Covering equities, macro, and sectors.
Every report is written by a former hedge fund analyst. Structured thesis, supporting data, risk factors, and a clear conclusion. Reading real research is the fastest way to learn how professional analysis is structured and build interview fluency to stand out with insights beyond public news.
Each report goes through the same rigour you would expect from a sell-side research desk. Detailed financial analysis, industry context, catalyst mapping, and risk assessment. Published regularly across the categories that matter most.

Just got my first-round invite for the Academy. Would love to hear from anyone who has been through the process. What did they test on, how did you prep?

I’m a sell-side equity analyst about a year in and looking to make the jump to an L/S equity fund. Would love to hear from anyone who has done it about how they prepped and what made the difference.

Outcomes
A note from a Deltashark member who used the curriculum and the networking method to break into the buy-side.
Hi Burak,
Hope this finds you well.
Just wanted to reach and thank you. In only 6 months of strong networking, I have seen unbelievable change and through using your exact method, I was able to land myself a good internship for my last year of studies.
Looking forward to getting the ball rolling again for a grad role.

Breaking into the buy-side requires a specific, complete education. Today that education is fragmented and expensive, putting it out of reach for most of the people with the talent to do the work.
Deltashark is the platform that gathers it all in one place. A complete buy-side curriculum across hedge funds, quantitative finance, and private equity. Built by industry professionals. At a price any ambitious individual can afford.
Talent is universal. Access is not. Deltashark closes that gap.
