For parents: finance networking, done for your student
Coaching programs charge $650 to $11,000 to teach networking. Paperclip Concierge does the networking: personal emails to verified finance professionals from your student's own inbox, every weekday, with follow-ups. It is built by people who worked at a bulge bracket bank and went through MBB recruiting. You can pay for it here, $149 a month or $549 a semester, and we email your student a link to set it up. They take every call, and you can get a short summary on the 1st of each month.
Reply rates
| Outreach | Reply rate |
|---|---|
| Paperclip, sent to verified addresses from the student's own inbox | 7 to 12% |
| Typical cold email | 1 to 5% |
Paperclip's figure comes from its own send history: personal emails to analysts and associates at verified addresses, alumni first, with follow-ups that stop when someone replies.
Frequently asked questions
Isn't this doing it for them?
The emails, yes. Your student sets their targets once and reads the first emails before anything sends. After that, Paperclip writes and sends the outreach from their own inbox every weekday and follows up. Every reply goes to them, and they take every call.
Who is behind Paperclip?
People who have been through it. We worked at a bulge bracket bank and went through MBB recruiting, multiple superdays included. We built Paperclip to do the part that decided it for us: getting in front of the right people early, from your own inbox, while you focus on the conversations.
Will professionals be annoyed?
Outreach from students is a normal, expected part of finance recruiting: it's how most of these professionals got their own start. Every email is personalized to one person and sent at a human pace, which is why 7 to 12% write back instead of the usual 1 to 5%.
How is this different from a career coach?
A coach advises on networking for hundreds of dollars an hour. Paperclip does it: finds the people, writes the emails, sends them, and follows up, plus interview prep once replies turn into calls. If your student already has a coach, Paperclip does the outreach the coach tells them to do.
Do you guarantee an interview?
No, and be suspicious of anyone who does at any price. We guarantee the work instead: if we fall behind on sending their emails because of something on our side, the next month is free. The conversations are theirs to win.
Will I know how it is going?
If your student turns it on, you get a short summary on the 1st of each month: how many professionals they emailed, at which firms, and how many replied. Never who they spoke with or what was said. It is their account, so it is their choice.
How do I pay for it?
On this page. Choose $149 a month or $549 for a semester, enter your student's name, email and school, and pay through Stripe. We email them a link right away. They create their account, pick their firms and connect their own inbox, which takes about five minutes. You get a page that shows whether they have started, and you can cancel the monthly plan from it anytime.
What if my student doesn't set it up?
We remind them twice and email you so you can nudge them yourself, with the link ready to text. Their spot at their school stays held. The semester only starts counting the day they set it up.
