About The Deal Room
The Deal Room is a 2 day immersion for students to understand how real investment decisions are made. Designed and taught by current or former venture capitalists / investors, the programme builds core skills around how to assess a company from a venture investment perspective. It culminates in a Shark-style investor simulation where students become the Sharks, and analyse businesses, question founders, and present a clear investment decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about The Deal Room
The Deal Room is designed for undergraduate students from any stream who want to learn how investment decisions are made and how to evaluate businesses.
No. The programme starts from first principles and builds up using practical examples. Curiosity and participation matter more than prior knowledge.
It is a two-day, classroom-based immersion with case discussions, practitioner-led sessions, and a Shark-style investor simulation where students become the Sharks — analysing businesses, questioning founders, and presenting a clear investment decision.
Students analyse a business, ask questions, and present an "invest or do not invest" decision with full reasoning — just like a real VC would.
