Learning Through Real Collaboration

You're not going through this alone. Our program pairs you with other analysts working through the same challenges—building models, reviewing assumptions, catching errors before they matter.

Most weeks include paired assignments where you'll review each other's DCF models or debate different valuation approaches. It's similar to what happens in actual analyst teams, just with more patience and fewer tight deadlines.

How Previous Analysts Applied These Methods

Real examples from past cohorts showing how valuation techniques translated to their work

Portrait of Fletcher Baines, financial analyst

Fletcher Baines

Energy Sector Analyst
2024 Cohort

Solar Installation Valuation Project

Fletcher needed to value a mid-sized solar installation company for a potential acquisition. The challenge was forecasting cash flows in a rapidly changing subsidy environment. During the program, he built a flexible DCF model that could handle multiple regulatory scenarios.

The peer review sessions helped him catch issues with his WACC calculation—specifically around how to weight the cost of debt given government-backed financing programs unique to Taiwan's renewable sector.

2023 Cohort

Comparable Company Analysis Refinement

Ainsley's team was valuing a battery storage company but struggled with finding truly comparable firms. Most comps were either too large or operated in different regulatory environments. Through the program's group discussions, she learned how to make appropriate adjustments for size and market differences.

The breakthrough came when another cohort member shared an approach for normalizing EBITDA multiples across different subsidy regimes. She's since used that framework on four other projects with much more defensible results.

Approach Used Adjusted trading comps
