Built to earn your trust. Designed so you can verify it.
Payments go through Stripe. Marketing pages collect almost nothing. The product itself is a collaboration between Valuethropy and VCI Institute. Here is what that means in practice.
- Stripe secure checkout
- Card details never touch our servers
- Cancel anytime from your account
- Delete your data anytime
- Trust center
Payments and billing
Checkout for Professional and Team runs inside the simulator app through Stripe at sim.vci.institute/subscription. Card details are processed by Stripe. They do not pass through or get stored on PE Simulator marketing servers.
Professional monthly is $13 for the first month, then $39 a month. You can cancel anytime from your account. Your access continues until the end of the period you've paid for, and you won't be charged again. Payments are generally non-refundable. If something went wrong with your purchase, contact support and we'll review it.
The Daily Deal under Free tools is a free no-signup mini-deal if you want a shorter drill.
Security posture
We design and operate toward SOC 2-aligned practices for access control, change management, and data handling. This is not a claim of current SOC 2 certification.
Production app traffic uses HTTPS. Account and billing flows live in the simulator application, not on this marketing site.
For enterprise needs (white-label, custom content and knowledge bases, SSO, MSA, invoice billing), contact us and we will scope what fits your university, business school, training center, or firm.
Your data and rights
This marketing site collects almost no personal data. Analytics use Google Consent Mode. You can accept or decline analytics cookies.
To request deletion of marketing contact data, email support@vciinstitute.org with the subject "Delete my data". We aim to complete requests within 30 days.
Account deletion and in-app data rights for the simulator are handled through the product support channels documented in our privacy policy.
How this was built
PE Simulator is the product of a collaboration between Valuethropy (AI and PETech systems for private equity) and VCI Institute (PE curriculum, certifications, and ontology). That pairing is why 9 desks, 8 practice arenas, and 4 AI advisors can sit in one connected deal sandbox.
It took roughly one year to reach the functional platform you can use today: about six months of product and curriculum design, followed by six-plus months of continuous engineering to make the desks, arenas, and advisors work as one system.
That depth is hard to copy from a video course or a spreadsheet pack. It is also why we keep the marketing site focused and push you into the real product instead of a longer pitch.
