# PE Simulator (https://pesimulator.com)

## Who we are
PE Simulator (marketing domain: pesimulator.com) is the public site for the PE Super Simulator, an independent PETech platform built in collaboration by Valuethropy (AI and platform architecture) and VCI Institute (PE curriculum and certifications). The live application is at https://sim.vci.institute/home (cold traffic welcome splash).

## What is a private equity simulator?
A private equity simulator is a hands-on training environment where you practice the full deal lifecycle (sourcing, diligence, valuation, value creation, portfolio management, exit) instead of watching videos or filling isolated spreadsheets. PE Simulator connects 20+ integrated workspaces in one sandbox with four AI advisors and a gamified VC$ economy. The marketing story is 9 desks, 8 practice arenas, 4 AI advisors, and one connected deal.

## What makes PE Simulator unique
- Full deal lifecycle in one connected sandbox (20+ integrated workspaces; 9 formal desks; 8 practice arenas)
- Four specialist AI advisors built in: VIC (PE expert chat), The Brain (report generation), CFO Assistant (financial analysis), VALIA (quick prompts)
- The Forge decision simulator with cascading consequences
- Cross-workspace data flow: work in one workspace feeds the next
- Gamification: VC$, career levels, badges, certifications
- Pricing: Professional $39/mo or $390/yr; Team $69/mo or $690/yr (live). No separate Student or Edu SKU. Students buy Professional.
- No-signup timed demo at https://sim.vci.institute/try
- Paid checkout and 7-day trial at https://sim.vci.institute/subscription
- Daily Deal mini-deal under Free tools at https://sim.vci.institute/daily (also linked from https://pesimulator.com/tools)

## Who it is for
A private equity grade platform for PE professionals, operating partners, value creation advisors, investment bankers, M&A advisors, strategic consultants, MBA and graduate students, C-suite leaders, and post-integration leaders. Firms train cohorts on Team or enterprise plans. Learners and professionals share the Professional plan.

## How to try it (two paths)
1. No-signup timed demo: https://sim.vci.institute/try (no card, no email; primary free entry from marketing CTAs)
2. 7-day full-access trial: Professional or Team via https://sim.vci.institute/subscription (card required; cancel before day 8; 7-day refund after conversion). Free Limited signup stays available with no card and no trial clock.
