Build an LBO under timed conditions

Prioritize the essential model components and checks, and use a repeatable workflow to explain your results.

Why this topic matters

Private equity interviews test whether you can turn a deal into a model and explain what drives the returns. This live session teaches a five-step LBO framework, a practical approach to paper LBOs, and a structured workflow for building a model from scratch. Bring a laptop with Excel to follow along.
