Internships & Mentorship · The heart of it
a day in the fire

Real work. Real world. Real early.

This is why Zero Nine exists. We find young athletes a real day — or a real week — inside a working company. A teller, an analyst, a wealth manager, a stockbroker. Someone who'll put them in the fire and show them what's possible after the game.

The idea, plainly

A friend who runs a bank gives one of our athletes a week as a teller, an analyst, a wealth manager. That week can change the rest of a life — and it costs almost nothing to give.

01 — What's possible

Opportunities,
real ones.

A sense of what we arrange. Each one is a genuine role with a real mentor — built around the athlete, at no cost to them.

02 — How it works

From handshake
to signed.

We do the finding and the paperwork. The athlete just shows up ready to learn.

i.

We find the door

We go to the people we know — banks, firms, founders — and turn a relationship into a real opportunity for an athlete.

ii.

We make it official

The placement agreement lives in the athlete's portal. They read it, sign it on screen, and keep a copy — no chasing.

iii.

They step into the fire

The athlete spends real time in a real role, with a mentor in their corner — and walks out with experience that lasts.

03 — The people who open doors

Mentors & hosts.

The companies and leaders who give their time. Yours could be here.
