About us

Founded in 2009 by ex-traders Will de Lucy and Piers Curran, AmplifyME set out to solve the disconnect between theory and practice in finance. What began as live trading floor simulations has grown into a global platform used by leading banks, hedge funds, asset managers, and over 400 universities worldwide.

Our journey

From our first simulation in 2009 to today’s end-to-end platform, AmplifyME has grown from London to Shanghai, launched 50+ simulations across markets, banking, and quant, and supported more than 200,000 students on their career journey. Along the way, we’ve become a trusted partner to the world’s largest financial institutions and top universities.

Built by finance professionals

Our team brings first-hand experience from trading, corporate finance, and quant — so every simulation reflects the reality of the roles students aspire to and employers need to fill.

Trusted worldwide

We partner with leading investment banks, hedge funds, asset managers, and 400+ universities, giving us a truly global perspective on early careers.

Driven by data

Every simulation generates objective performance insights — turning skills, decision-making, and potential into measurable data firms can trust.

Focused on early careers in finance

Unlike general training providers, AmplifyME is built solely for early careers in finance — covering the entire journey from attraction to assessment to training.
