What's Different About Our Service

Specifically for Students at Non-Target Universities

Specifically for Students at Non-Target Universities

Specifically for Students at Non-Target Universities

Our program is built exclusively for students from non-target universities. This isn't a money grab, we don’t work with target school candidates — every strategy, resource, and piece of guidance is tailored to help you overcome the unique challenges non-target students face and stand out in investment banking recruiting processes.

Real Coaching vs a Hands-off "Mentor"

Specifically for Students at Non-Target Universities

Specifically for Students at Non-Target Universities

Our coaching is hands-on, with weekly one-on-one sessions designed to deeply develop your technical skills, networking approach, and overall career strategy. Unlike services who give you a "mentor" to talk to once a month, we’re in the trenches with you every step of the way, running mock interviews, giving real-time feedback, and making sure you’re fully prepared to dominate recruiting.

No Fluff, We Focus on What Really Moves the Needle

Specifically for Students at Non-Target Universities

No Fluff, We Focus on What Really Moves the Needle

We cut through the noise and focus only on what moves the needle. No time wasted on advanced modeling courses or technical topics that never come up in interviews. Every concept we teach is directly tied to what actually gets asked in real investment banking interviews—so you can spend less time guessing and more time getting offers.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote pure meritocracy by making elite careers accessible to everyone—regardless of background, family connections, or where someone went to school. We believe talent and drive should be the only things that matter. To support this mission beyond our own coaching, we’re donating 5% of our revenue to QuestBridge, a nonprofit that helps high-achieving, low-income students gain admission and full scholarships to universities across America. By supporting QuestBridge, we’re investing in a future where elite opportunities are based on merit—not privilege.

Proven Experience From a Real Non-Target Student

Kyler Evans, Investment Banking Recruiting Coach

Kyler Evans

 Non-Target was founded by Kyler Evans, a finance and economics student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Coming from a non-target school himself, Kyler overcame recruiting hurdles to secure internships in investment banking and private equity, ultimately landing a junior summer internship at Moelis & Company, one of Wall Street’s top firms. Now, through Non-Target, Kyler helps other students from overlooked universities master the recruiting process, develop elite interviewing and networking skills, and secure roles in high finance.

Are We A Fit For You?

This program is built for driven students at non-target schools who are ready to put in the work. We don’t care about brand names — we care about mindset, effort, and coachability. If you're serious about breaking into investment banking, you're in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at kyler@nontarget.io if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Kyler currently has investment banking experience, having worked on four sell-side M&A deals during his internship at a lower middle-market firm. He has also secured a private equity internship for summer 2025 and received investment banking offers from both Moelis and Lazard for summer 2026. He has gone through the recruiting process firsthand as a non-target student, and everything he coaches is based on real experience — not theory. Kyler knows exactly what it takes to break in, and built this program to help others do the same.


The strategies we teach are designed to get results in any industry and any city. Whether you’re targeting New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, or elsewhere, we can help you land offers. The core principles of networking, interviewing, and standing out as a non-target candidate apply across the board, and we tailor the coaching to your specific goals.


We equip you with everything you need to succeed, including a professional resume template, a networking tracker, and proven email templates to help you set up coffee chats. You’ll also get access to real investment banking interview questions, as well as comprehensive technical prep materials—from accounting to valuation to LBOs. Whether you're just getting started or preparing for superdays, we've got you fully covered.


School clubs are a great starting point, but they can only take you so far. Everyone in those groups is getting the same general advice, and most rely on outdated slide decks or once-a-semester speaker events. If you want to stand out from the 99% who only follow the club playbook, you need more than that — you need personalized coaching, weekly accountability, mock interviews, and a real strategy tailored to your background and goals. That’s what Non-Target delivers. It’s the difference between hoping it works out and knowing you’re on the right path.
