Private Equity demands a sharper lens — one trained not only on numbers, but on narratives: growth potential, risk dynamics, and strategic fit. GEO’s Private Equity Modeling course gives students the tools to think like investors, not just analysts.

Over the course of several months, students learn to evaluate acquisition targets, structure deals, and build institutional-grade LBO models with debt schedules, returns waterfalls, and sensitivity tables. We explore how firms assess operational levers, industry trends, and capital stack optimization — all while simulating the real-world investment memos and VC pitches that drive decision-making. For aspiring buy-side professionals, this track turns raw financial skills into the kind of judgment and intuition that sets candidates apart in the most competitive rooms on the Street.
