Private Equity Capstone

Private Equity Capstone” asks students to synthesize their learning, experience, and service during their time at CBS into a final project. Students identify an area of interest and deliverables before the class starts. They identify a PE firm ,investor, or portfolio company to sponsor their project from their own searches or the PE Program’s network. The course provides an opportunity for the student to gain experiential learning beyond internships and networking opportunities. Class meetings will have presentations from senior private equity investors and other leaders connected to the industry who will describe their deal flow process, deal structuring and valuation approach, research techniques, and value creation. Speakers will provide readings or background material about a deal or fundraising before class.
