How to Structure a Deal Walkthrough for PE Interviews
Deal walkthroughs in Private Equity interviews are among the toughest hurdles candidates face—interviewers expect you to walk through the logic, assumptions, and risks of an entire investment, often on the spot. To excel, you need a repeatable structure, sharp instincts, and clarity under pressure. Join Max M., a former tech investor turned Wharton MBA and one of Leland’s Top 50 Coaches, who has worked on deals at Thomas H. Lee Partners and Goldman Sachs. Max has coached hundreds of candidates across PE, IB, and hedge funds, helping them land offers at top firms. In this session, Max will break down a clear framework you can apply during deal walkthroughs: how to decompose the investment thesis, model growth and margins, identify key value levers, and address deal risks. He’ll also walk through common “curve ball” questions and teach you how to think on your feet.

Claude Design: Build Campaign Ready Assets in 60 mins
Most marketers leave a brief meeting with a direction and a timeline. You're going to leave this one with the assets. Join Albert C., a former marketer at Meta, for an exclusive AI Builder session where you'll produce three campaign-ready assets in real time. By the end of the hour, you'll have a landing page, a 5-slide social carousel, and a short product video, all built by you, on brief, from scratch. This isn't a walkthrough. You build alongside Albert C. the entire time, so you leave with finished work, not notes about finished work. The session covers prompt patterns for visual consistency, how to brief Claude on brand voice and color, and how to move efficiently across asset types without losing creative direction. You'll also walk away with a reusable prompt framework you can take back to any brief, for any product, so the work you do in this session isn't a one-time thing. Come with a product in mind. Everything else is provided.
