Learn How Real Private Equity Deals Work - Without an MBA or Wall Street Job
Master the Buy & Build approach used in the lower middle market to acquire, operate, and grow businesses.
Built for students breaking into Wall Street, aspiring investors, and entrepreneurs who want practical deal skills — not theory.
A Real-World Path into Private Equity, Built by a Dealmaker
I’m Sri Vanamali, CEO of GEX Management and creator of GEX Private Equity Academy. Over the last decade, I’ve worked directly on acquiring, operating, and growing lower-middle-market businesses across a diverse set of industries, applying the same core private-equity frameworks to every deal.
Through GEX Private Equity Academy, I’m bringing that experience to students, entrepreneurs, investors, and independent sponsors who want to understand private equity the way it actually works — through real transactions, real constraints, and real decision-making, not textbooks.
You’ll learn the same frameworks professionals use every day:
- How to evaluate and value a business
- How deals are structured and financed
- How investors think about risk, returns, and value creation
Who This Is For
GEX Private Equity Academy is designed for anyone who wants a practical, real-world understanding of how private equity works in the lower middle market.
