    I found the simulation practical and well designed. It gave a realistic feel for how an investment team thinks, and the tasks helped me better understand how H2 Ventures evaluates startups. I also liked that the work was structured around real-world VC thinking, which made the exercise feel relevant and useful.

    The simulation provided a practical introduction to venture capital and startup investing. I enjoyed learning how investors evaluate startups, build investment frameworks, perform valuations, and develop growth strategies. The tasks were realistic, engaging, and helped me understand how venture capital firms make investment decisions.

    I enjoyed how this program covers a variety of tasks that venture capitalists do in their career. Such examples include initial startup screenings, valuations, and researching new marketing techniques. I believe I now know enough of the basics to answer questions from someone curious to learn more about venture capitalism!
