Ross left his job at a well-regarded trading firm in 2022 to work at a new philanthropic foundation funded by crypto money, where he learned that the worst part about not working in trading is not getting to teach early-career traders.

David is a self-taught trader at a firm that you have never heard of (and would prefer that it stay that way, no offense to you). He has an order of magnitude more Twitter followers than the rest of Arbor's staff combined.
Ari is chief of staff to Ricki, and would like to play Set with you.
Yoav is a coding nerd that stumbled onto the trading bootcamp while making his first steps in AI Safety. He couldn't help himself from rewriting the team's trading infrastructure in Rust, and here we are.
Nicholas came to this bootcamp after meeting Ricki as an Atlas Fellow. He works at Standard Intelligence as a generalist engineer and AI researcher, and makes programming languages for fun.
