Deal Room

M&A / Investment Deals

About This Simulation

Deal Room teaches M&A and investment deals through a continuous in-tray of deal events: sourcing pitches, diligence findings, valuation calls, negotiation moments, close mechanics, integration challenges, and portfolio updates. Each active day brings 1-5 events from bankers, diligence leads, senior partners, finance, BD, and capital markets. Some events are multiple-choice with explicit consequences; others ask for a written response that a senior PE/VC partner LLM grades on investment reasoning, discipline, and stakeholder awareness. Four pillars compound: Valuation Accuracy, Diligence Rigor, Negotiation, Returns. Industries: Private Equity, Venture Capital, Corporate Dev.

Learning Objectives
