The Brief

What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.

Determine a fair valuation for CloudFlow's Series A using revenue multiples and rule-of-40, given its PLG-to-enterprise transition.

This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.

When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."

Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate

Canonical roles

Investment Banking Analyst
Two-thirty in the morning, a pitch deck due at seven, and somewhere on page eighteen the comparable companies table needs to be re-cut to reflect last quarter's earnings. This is the investment banking analyst's entry-level reality, and it teaches more about financial discipline in two years than most degrees do in four. The role exists to support deal teams advising on M&A, IPOs, and capital raises, and the work itself is mostly modeling, materials, and verification. You'd grow into it through an accelerating loop of valuation work, learning Bloomberg and CapIQ until the keystrokes disappear. Strong analysts develop accuracy under pressure and the judgement to flag what their managing director would want to know.
