ModernGuild is a New York-based career mentoring and recruiting company that helps early-career and college students break into finance and consulting. Founded in 2011-2012 by Adrien Fraise, it pairs online career curriculum with live 1-on-1 coaching from in-field practitioners, and has evolved into a B2B marketplace using blinded candidate dashboards and matching algorithms to reduce bias in campus recruiting.
Adrien Fraise is the CEO and founder of ModernGuild, a New York-based edtech company that pairs high school and college students with one-on-one career coaches and a structured online readiness program. A former Deloitte strategy consultant with degrees from Stanford and Columbia Business School, he launched ModernGuild in January 2011 after concluding that traditional early-career recruiting was broken: too many resumes, too little real review, and too much bias. He built the company into a mentoring marketplace that has served tens of thousands of students, partnered with employers like Citibank and Wells Fargo, and went through the Techstars accelerator in 2017.
