Our Verdict
This course, while highly-regarded with a 4.3 global rating, seems to be best suited for those who already have a basic understanding of finance, term sheets, and VC concepts. The main strengths include the practical exercises and real-world application demonstrated throughout the course, which can provide students with a solid foundation in modeling investment rounds and analyzing cap tables and waterfalls. However, there are potential drawbacks for beginners and those lacking background knowledge, as some users mentioned that both the pace of the course and lack of detailed explanations might be challenging. Furthermore, access to Excel templates or files would further augment the learning experience and help to solidify fundamental concepts, but they appear to be unavailable or difficult to locate based on some testimonials. In conclusion, this Ultimate Venture Capital course serves as an excellent opportunity for individuals with prior financial expertise to enhance their skills in VC modeling, valuation, and investment rounds analysis while offering room for improvement in the areas of explanation and accessibility for beginners and those with fewer pre-existing skills.
