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 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.

Initially, the tasks were self-explanatory and the resources were comprehensive and relevant for both the task and my subsequent experience. I improved myself a lot while working on resources. The start-up financial modeling and valuation task was difficult at first, but I got over it and learned a lot. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone
