From lecture notes to connected artifacts
Passive video courses teach vocabulary. Here you produce work that chains across sourcing, diligence, value creation, and exit stories.
Built for academic pacing
Short cycles inside a coherent path. You can align modules with a term project without losing the thread of the full deal arc.
Student plan pricing
The Student tier lists at $25 per month before tax. Check the homepage pricing block for the latest annual option and trial terms.
All 12 modules on paid plans
Every paid tier unlocks the same module set. You are not buying a sliced subset that breaks the learning journey.
AI coaching inside the workflow
Specialist advisors help you tighten thesis language, memo structure, and valuation prompts. They are pace-setters, not autopilots.
Quizzes and badges
Unlimited quiz attempts and module badges on Student keep you honest about whether the concept stuck.
Interview signal
Walk into a technical screen able to narrate artifacts you actually built, not templates you copied.

A disciplined 90-day arc
You do not need to finish everything in a quarter. You do need a schedule.
Weeks 1 to 3: map the lifecycle
Spend time in sourcing and valuation modules until you can explain how a thesis ties to numbers without reading slides.
Weeks 4 to 6: stress-test artifacts
Bring drafts into AI advisors for critique. Rewrite once, then rerun quizzes to confirm the revision held.
Weeks 7 to 12: integrate
Layer portfolio and exit modules so your story matches how a real committee would challenge the deal.
Do I need an MBA before I subscribe?
No. Guided student paths start with foundations and quizzes. Expect a learning curve if you have never seen an LBO, but the product does not require an admit letter.
How is this different from passive video catalogs?
Catalogs explain concepts once. Here you produce artifacts that chain across modules so you discover where sourcing and valuation narratives actually disagree.
Can I make progress on a weekend-only schedule?
Yes. Two focused sessions per week beat binge watching when each session ends with a quiz attempt or a revised artifact you can defend out loud.
Student questions
Start the trial before your next recruiting sprint.
Lock in seven days on the simulator, complete the first module artifacts, and decide if the rhythm matches how you learn.
