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.

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.

Live Instructor-Led Program

An introductory live training program within GEX Private Equity Academy designed to build practical foundations in lower-middle-market private equity.

The emphasis is not memorization or theory — but building a clear understanding of how private equity opportunities are evaluated in practice.

Best for:

• Individuals new to private equity or private markets
• Undergraduate students preparing for finance or private equity internships
