Simulation Overview

The Initial Public Offering Simulation is a comprehensive, experiential financial simulation created by investment bankers. It meticulously replicates the intricate process of taking a company public.

Students engage in the multifaceted journey of an IPO, from pre-IPO planning and valuation to roadshow strategies and pricing the offering.

This multiplayer simulation encourages critical thinking and raises corporate finance expertise, strategic communication, and market understanding. Students are evaluated on their ability to navigate the complexities of the IPO process, optimize the offering price, and ensure a successful listing.
