Unlocking Capital for Los Angelenos Funds 10 Aspiring Traders with $150,000 Each
Los Angeles, CA — Unlocking Capital for Los Angelenos (UCLA.co) has announced a bold new initiative to empower the next generation of financial professionals. The program, launched this fall, is funding 10 hand-selected traders with $150,000 each to trade in live markets, while providing a structured educational track designed to maximize their chances of long-term success.
Over the course of 12 weeks, participants will take part in a dynamic learning series that blends interactive tutorials, one-on-one mentorship, interviews with seasoned trading experts, and practical guidance on market psychology, risk management, and strategy development.
“Too many ambitious traders never get the chance to prove themselves because of a lack of access to capital and proper mentorship,” said a UCLA.co program director. “We’re closing that gap by putting real capital in their hands and surrounding them with the resources and guidance they need to thrive.”
The program is designed not just to fund traders but to build a community of disciplined market participants. Weekly sessions will cover everything from futures and options trading to macroeconomic analysis and algorithmic strategies, with guest lectures from hedge fund veterans, prop trading managers, and fintech entrepreneurs.
Participants will also gain exposure to cutting-edge trading technology and real-world case studies, helping them bridge the gap between theory and execution. At the end of the 12 weeks, UCLA.co plans to showcase the traders’ journeys in a digital series highlighting their strategies, lessons learned, and personal growth.
For those aspiring to careers in trading, the program offers a rare opportunity to prove their skills while learning directly from some of the industry’s best.
