Our Story
Our founder and mentor Luis Romero’s love for teaching began his sophomore year of college when he founded an investment club. Here, Mr. Romero shared with club members the technical skills he gained from his previous internships. Years later, this passion for teaching and giving back grew stronger when he worked with undergraduate interns at his own fund, from which he received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Recognizing the powerful difference his dedication made in the interns’ growth motivated Mr. Romero to create a formal mentoring program.
Mr. Romero founded Romero Mentoring in 2016 with just four mentees under his wing. Driven by a commitment to provide students with what he was not able to find during his undergraduate years, he developed the curriculum into a well-structured program that has now served as a foundation to over 350 alumni members.
