Build practical private equity and venture capital skills through valuation, deal structuring, financial modeling, capitalization tables, and leveraged buyout analysis. Learn to evaluate investments, understand fund mechanics, model funding rounds, and assess investor returns using realistic case studies. This Specialization takes learners from private equity fundamentals to venture capital modeling and advanced LBO analysis. You will examine fund structures, pre- and post-money valuation, preferred shares, liquidation preferences, negotiation strategies, and post-investment performance tracking. You will then build venture capital models, create capitalization tables, analyze startup funding rounds, and develop integrated financial statements. In the final course, you will apply these skills to a complete private equity case study by structuring debt and equity, forecasting cash flows, testing assumptions, and evaluating exit outcomes. Designed for aspiring investment analysts, finance professionals, entrepreneurs, and students, this Specialization combines conceptual knowledge with hands-on, case-based practice to build job-relevant investment analysis and financial modeling capabilities.
