Description
Learn to discuss your deal experience like an investor—not simply describe the work you completed as an analyst. We’ll select the transactions or investments most likely to come up in interviews and develop a structured approach for discussing the company, industry, transaction rationale, valuation, diligence, risks, financing, investment merits, and ultimate outcome. This package includes detailed deal walkthrough preparation, investment thesis development, valuation and returns discussion, key diligence findings, risks and mitigants, your individual contribution, and realistic follow-up questioning. You’ll also practice answering the question behind many PE interviews: “Would you have made this investment yourself, and why?” By the end, you will be able to discuss your deals confidently at both the technical and investment-judgment level.
What you'll get from this package
Structured, investor-level deal walkthroughs
Clear articulation of investment thesis, risks, valuation, and returns
Stronger answers around your personal contribution and decision-making
Confidence defending your deals under detailed questioning
Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
I’ll approach your deal experience the same way an investment professional would. I’ll keep asking “why?” until we get beyond process-oriented answers and into actual investment thinking. The goal is for you to demonstrate that you understand the business and investment—not simply that you built the model or worked on the transaction.
