What StreetSmart does

StreetSmart is a San Francisco-based career recruiting platform that operates a two-sided marketplace connecting ambitious university students and recent graduates with employers, mentors, and job opportunities across investment banking, private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, and growth-stage tech companies. Founded in 2023 by Bryce Viorst and bootstrapped, the company runs a freemium student platform offering AI-powered job matching, automated application tracking, networking and outreach tools, daily finance quizzes, resume building, and recruiting timelines across 176 firms. Its Wall Street Connect sub-brand delivers tiered 1:1 mentorship (single sessions at $300 up to a $10,000 Offer Track with placement guarantee), backed by a network of 200+ professionals from top firms. In 2025 the company expanded into B2B with Aura AI, an agentic recruiting agent for early-stage employers that sources from a network of 1B+ profiles, screens and scores candidates, schedules interviews, and synchronizes to CRM on a pay-only-if-you-hire model with 30- and 90-day placement guarantees. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (freemium, referral program earning free Premium months) with community-led acquisition via 50+ university finance club partnerships and direct sales for premium mentorship and enterprise employer services. The platform has reportedly facilitated 100+ job placements and serves 10,000+ active candidates across 20+ universities, including Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia, and NYU.
