Our Programs
-
Build fluency in valuation, modeling, accounting, research, recruiting, and communication through weekly training and industry-led sessions.
Each weekly GM meeting covers a new topic under the buy-side and we bring in industry speakers to help you gain mentorship directly from finance professionals.
-
Think like an investor by evaluating a new real-world business opportunity each week from a buy-side perspective. Members assess the company’s fundamentals, valuation, strategy, and risks before deciding whether TVP would acquire the business or pass.
-
Apply advanced valuation and investment-analysis skills to real-world case studies in TVP’s intensive, semester-long buy-side program. Capstone culminates in an investment-pitch competition, giving members practice turning rigorous analysis into a compelling recommendation.
