bro you are amazing, i don't understand how you're not at 800 000 subscribers...thank you so much for your content, time and effort

I’ve watched all of BIWS and WSP and you demo better than them because you build the model from scratch and we can understand why you’re making every decision/assumption. A lot more applicable, would def buy a full modeling course from you.

Just a hint for everyone else: If you press F4 to fix the row for the revenue you can copy paste the formula for all other items in the model. That you way you don't need to reference revenue all the time :)

Thanks for the video!

Your contributions are not just educational but also inspirational for aspiring finance professionals globally. Keep up the fantastic work!

[linghuizhu]

Literally the best LBO tutorial on the market! Could you also share one tutorial for project financing and one for real estate sector? Thank you!!

[michaelcortez]

best LBO model video I've watched so far! thanks a lot!

[Roshanvyas]

Hi Ben, your videos are always helpful. Please make a advance video with sensitivity table analysis

[LarzOG]

I loved the real estate analogies. Super helpful! It seems like this model could even be used to make a real estate purchase if I’m understanding correctly. It might even be easier to make certain assumptions in real estate as opposed to a business.

[antoniostefanile]

Very good video, watched it all start to finish. You learn something new everyday! I work for a hedge fund for a convertible strategy, but always interested in learning new modelling - even after 10 years in the industry. All the best

Hi...
I have started watching your videos from DCF valuation methods and they are quite interesting and easy to follow. I have one request to you to make one video on IPO Valuation Model (build it from scratch) as I have not seen any detailed video on that. Thank you so much for all the work you are doing!!
