The GEX Private Equity Academy

Institutional-Grade Private Equity Training — Delivered Across Multiple Program Formats

The GEX Private Equity Academy delivers institutional-quality private equity training across multiple formats — from structured self-paced learning to live coaching and individualized mentorship.

All GEX programs are built on the same core philosophy:

• Real-world decision-making
• Judgment over memorization
• Merit over pedigree

Participants can choose the format that best matches their experience level, learning style, and desired depth — while engaging with the same lower-middle-market deal exposure.

This structure reflects how private equity is learned inside active firms, and mirrors the type of exposure our interns from top business schools receive when working on live transactions.

Program Options

Private Equity In The Lower Middle Market

Core Program · Self-Paced

The foundational program designed to build deal fluency and judgment in lower-middle-market private equity.

Rather than focusing on scripted answers or purely academic cases, this program emphasizes how deals are actually evaluated when information is incomplete, timelines are compressed, and real trade-offs matter.

Best for:

• Students from target and non-target schools preparing for increasingly rigorous PE interviews
• Career switchers building core deal intuition
• Operators and investors seeking institutional-level rigor without live commitments

For many students, interview readiness becomes a natural byproduct of being able to speak credibly about real deal dynamics — similar to the baseline exposure interns develop before entering live deal environments.

Format

• Self-paced modules
• Case-based frameworks
• Assessments focused on judgment

The Private Equity Deal Execution Lab (Most Popular Program)

Cohort-Based Program · Group Coaching

The most popular GEX Academy program — and the one that comes closest to replicating the internship experience.

This live, cohort-based program focuses on applied deal screening and execution, using structured discussion, critique, and real-time feedback.

Participants engage with the same types of ambiguity, judgment calls, and trade-offs that our interns encounter when working on live lower-middle-market deals — making this the closest approximation to on-the-job exposure without being inside a firm.

Best for:

• Participants who want live discussion and peer learning
• Those ready to move beyond self-paced study
• Individuals who want applied exposure similar to selective private equity internships

Format

• Cohort-based enrollment (fit reviewed post-enrollment)
• 8-week live program
• Weekly instructor-led discussion sessions

Private Coaching

One-on-One Program · Individualized

In addition to one-on-one sessions, Private Coaching participants receive access to recorded Group Coaching sessions, providing broader exposure to live deal discussions without participating in peer classes.

Best for:

• Individuals who prefer private, high-touch learning
• Those seeking accelerated development
• Participants who want individualized pacing and accountability

Format

• Application-based
• 8-week live program
• Weekly 1-on-1 sessions
• Includes three additional 30-minute private coaching calls
