Felipe Sinisterra and Dave Wang, two former SoftBank fund managers, are charging financial institutions $25,000 a day to train bankers and analysts on artificial intelligence tools — and they are booked two months out, according to Bloomberg.
The pair founded Wall Street Prompt in July 2025. A major investment firm came calling less than two months after Wall Street Prompt opened, and the two men made their way by train from New York to the client's headquarters to lead sessions covering equities, fixed income, and macro, according to Bloomberg. The room included everyone from veteran strategists to entry-level analysts.
Typical training sessions accommodate between 20 and 30 attendees and walk participants through real-world applications, including how to use Google $GOOGL -1.21%'s Gemini to evaluate founders' pitch videos and how OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude can surface market-moving language buried in earnings call transcripts. Among the firms that have hired Wall Street Prompt, according to Bloomberg, are T. Rowe Price $TROW +1.41% Group, Citigroup $C -0.10%, and Bank of America $BAC +0.60%. The engagement with T. Rowe Price centered on training the firm's own investment staff, while both Citigroup and Bank of America brought the pair in to run sessions for outside fund clients. All three institutions declined to address questions about specific training vendors.
