Hear from Others:
As an IBD analyst looking to break into VC / Growth, this training does the ultimate job of breaking down the role, what it takes to enter, how to position myself in addition to the more technical aspects like modeling, term sheets, structuring, etc. The best part, though, are the instructors - legitimate professionals & senior partners. Their stories, perspectives from deals makes this something I will come back and watch multiple times over.
- Investment Banking Analyst, Goldman Sachs
Nothing else beats the Elevate Mastery Trainings. The VC one is great because the instructors are real investors (who've seen and done hundreds of deals), and also because it is so comprehensive - covering Late Stage & Early Stage, the intricacies of term sheets, the modeling required, and keys to success in every aspect of the role. I've already re-watched many of the modules 2-3 times
