Private Equity Deals

This course provides students an in-depth simulation of the private equity deal process.  The course leverages a single (real-life) confidential information memorandum (CIM) supplied by a PE firm and works through all the major steps to get to the IC meeting.  Students will work in groups to prepare the documents and models required for the final IC memo and have the opportunity to conduct deep diligence through interactions with management and industry experts. Guest speakers will be brought to class to recreate the diligence process, arrange financing, plan value creation, and finalize deal documents.
