The Founding badge
Members carry a permanent Founding 20 badge on their AlphaLab profile. It records the cohort you joined. Once you complete the year, the badge is yours, and the Founding 20 stays the first and most exclusive cohort in AlphaLab's history.
Quant, for the ambitious.
Twenty seats. If you want to help shape what AlphaLab becomes, tell us who you are.
