FAQ
• No other recruiting offering provides the same in-depth preparation.
• Other courses are fine for a cursory overview and LBO basics, but fall short on advanced model topics and rigorous case study prep.
• Given how competitive recruiting has become, we think it's important to truly understand modeling mechanics and investment evaluation. Other courses may be easier to complete, but there's no point short-changing yourself when you only ever get one window to successfully recruit.
• No, you can absolutely prepare with free options like the Transacted LBO model, Multiple Expansion, or various YouTube walkthroughs.
• That said, many candidates do end up purchasing a specialized resource. It provides a dramatic improvement in level of preparation (and therefore much greater likelihood of a successful outcome).
• If a paid program isn't right for you, we're happy to help you find solid free resources or provide financial assistance for Transacted. Just reach out.
• Forever. A purchase grants you lifetime access.
• It generally takes 1 - 2 months to work through the entire course, though it's certainly possible to condense this into a more aggressive timeline.
• As with anything in finance, you just need to get your reps in. That means it's important to give yourself ample time. Don't try to cram everything into the week before your interview - it's better than nothing, but it won't be fun.
• We're here to help you get a successful outcome. If you don't think we can do that, then you can simply send back the course whenever you want.
• The "official" policy is a full refund, no questions asked, for any return within 1-year of purchase.
• We're an early-stage startup burning through cash on software development and growth efforts.
• Our thinking is that we can dedicate time and effort to raise additional venture backing, or we can put that same effort toward building what is essentially a non-dilutive financing source.
• Every little bit helps at the pre-seed and seed stage, so we might as well maximize our chance of success (and minimize the chance we need to go recruit back into private equity ourselves).
