The BuySide Masterclass

A 6-hour immersive experience into the real world of investing, dealmaking, and high-level business.
This is not a typical “finance course.”
It’s a window into how real investors think, act, and make decisions behind closed doors, taught by practitioners who live it every day.

You will learn the full lifecycle of a deal:
networking → origination → structuring → modeling → valuation → investor judgment

And you’ll learn it in a way no other program teaches it.
