Guy with whiteboard explains Bain case (hard difficulty)

Note: in the synergies section (20:39), total revenue + cost synergies should be $40M, not $20M. This results in a $1.4B valuation after discounting.

At the synergies part, wouldn't increasing revenue by $30M and cutting costs by $10M lead to a $40M increase, rather than $20M?

There are a few other important clarifying questions to ask, including:
1) What constitutes success? Do they have an ideal timeline or numerical figure for a return? This is different than your first.
2) What are, if any, Alpha's previous investment. If relevant, who makes up the management team. This is important to understand potential cost synergies.

been here since 3k, so glad your channel is taking off! I have learned so much.

I'd love to see an example video of you taking yourself through a case study like you would do in an interview, without as much explanation on why you're doing specific parts. Maybe for this case or another case where you break the video down into 2 parts, a real complete walk thru followed by an in-depth explanation. This was a great resource and I'd like to be able to compare how much to say to my interviewer in contrast to a in-depth walk thru tutorial. Great video Matt, thank you!!

[ed_ky]

prepping for my schools consulting club, your channel has been a godsend. Thank you for all that you do on here!

[anuragray]

Hold up babe, am finishing up watching a guy with whiteboard!

[etch-a-life]

this was great! As a layperson, I really enjoyed the whole process and explanation - thanks a lot!

[MelbournePrimitivo]

I'm currently studying strategy, investments (Angel, VC, & PE) and M&A, and your videos are insightful. I'm learning a lot. Thanks Matt!

More M&A stuff (cases, process, structure, deals, analysis, strategy) please.

More power!

Matt I’m so glad to see you get the traction on YouTube that you deserve!
Keep it coming, I’m rooting for you and watching along from sideline🎉

Hi Matt, I really love your video style, pacing, choice of words, and content—almost everything! I'm eagerly looking forward to more medium-to-long videos. I understand there's a trade-off since longer videos might mean lower completion rates and output, but I think those moments are the most enjoyable. Don't get me wrong; I'm still excited for more of your lifestyle videos! Looking forward to more shares. By the way, we're the same age and both looking for opportunities and growth in New York. You're an inspiration to me.

Hi Matt, I'm loving your content—it's giving me a great picture of what management consulting is all about. As someone exploring a career in this field, I wanted to ask about the software skills that are particularly valuable. Are there any specific SAP modules or tools that consultants should be proficient in? I'd appreciate any insights you can share!

[enzolanza]

A true masterclass! Thank's, Matt.

[masterperfect]

Heyy Matt! Great vid always! Could you do a vid of the resources you used for your prep

[nicholashaar]

Thank you for the video, I learned a ton! I am scheduled for a Bain digital interview in the coming weeks- any advice on what will be on there/ how to best prepare? Online does not seem to have too much info

[ChenShunChung]

Thank you for sharing Matt, your video really helps me a lot in my analysis and thinking.

At hte potential boost to total revenue, wouldnt it make sense to add the percentages to their respective sector like 4% to tickets etc because the number would get smaller. With just multiplying the entire 300M by 1.1 you get an overestimation right?
