About the investment competition track
The investment competition track is 1:1 Activity Mentoring until your investment memo, pitch deck, and competition submission package is finished—not a lecture series.

High school and early-college students entering investment competitions such as the Wharton Global High School Investment Competition.
What Actify helps you produce
Through Match → Plan → Build → Submit, you complete investment memo, pitch deck, and competition submission package aligned to official rules and judging criteria—from outline through submission-ready draft.
Mentor background categories
We match from the homepage mentor categories: Equity investments and public markets, Investment banking and live deals. Specific mentor profiles are shared after you apply and we confirm fit.
Timeline
Most investment competitions follow an early academic-year team registration pattern with fall-through-winter rounds. Competition calendars change each season. Check the host organization’s official site for registration windows, submission deadlines, and eligibility rules before you commit to a timeline.
Coaching vs internship placement
This track is Activity Mentoring to finish a submission. If you need a remote live project placement with a certificate and supervisor recommendation letter, see /internships instead.

- Matched by track, time zone, English level, and your target competition calendar.
- Weekly sessions and written feedback on drafts—not passive video modules.
