Private Equity Valuation and VC Funding Models

About this course

Master the practical skills used by private equity and venture capital professionals to evaluate investments, build financial models, and analyze company valuations. This course provides a structured approach to private equity valuation, ownership modeling, venture capital funding analysis, and investment performance measurement using real-world frameworks and industry-standard methodologies. The course begins with the foundations of private equity modeling, where learners develop financial models from the ground up by integrating assumptions, structuring inputs, and calculating key profitability metrics. This foundational knowledge enables learners to understand how investment decisions are evaluated in professional PE and VC environments. As the course progresses, learners explore investment performance measurement and valuation techniques. Topics include ownership structures, equity dilution, investment returns, valuation methodologies, and key performance indicators such as Total Value to Paid-In Capital (TVPI) and Net Asset Value (NAV). Learners gain practical insight into how investors assess value creation and portfolio performance. Advanced modules focus on scenario analysis, risk assessment, and valuation refinement. Learners will build dynamic models to evaluate multiple investment outcomes, analyze funding scenarios, and assess how changing assumptions impact company valuation and investor returns. What makes this course unique is its hands-on, implementation-focused approach. Rather than focusing solely on valuation theory, the course emphasizes building real-world models and applying analytical frameworks used by private equity and venture capital professionals. By the end of the course, learners will be able to confidently construct financial models, evaluate investment opportunities, analyze ownership structures, and make informed PE and VC funding decisions.
