Venture Capital Mastery
Operation Catalyst: A Series B Simulation
A self-paced venture capital course built around a fictional Series B: a $45M raise at a $180M pre-money valuation for a Tel Aviv cybersecurity company, seen through the general partner who has to decide whether to lead the round and take the board seat.
Sixteen blocks in six sections: VC foundations (fund structure, LP and GP economics, the J-curve), valuation and terms (pre-money and post-money, cap table modelling, liquidation preferences, anti-dilution), deal mechanics (option pools, unit economics, SaaS diligence, convertible notes and SAFEs), portfolio and exits (waterfall analysis, fund economics, the board meeting), a module summary with glossary, and a final assessment.
All names, companies, and figures in this course are fictional and exist for training purposes only.
