Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

For our portfolio of the company, there is a need to determine the strategic direction. We are eager to onboard students that can help determine whether to invest in a 3rd party marketplace.


The current client is a D2C company that only sells in one primary channel. The business case will outline the opportunity, market / industry assessement, the cost structure, and the workback schedule required to go-to-market.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

Deliverable 1:

  • Put together opportunity sizing and market analysis
  • Collaborate with our finance team to determine the ROI based on the sum-of-its-parts cost analysis

Deliverable 2:

  • Produce presentation to our strategic leadership team on go/no-go analysis for selling and expanding to a 3p marketplace
How will you support learners in completing the project?

We are focused on supporting student development in critical and deep thinking. There will be a step by step process in the investment process where we will teach and onboard the skills necessary to make the right investment decisions. Our past experience includes founders with multiple exits and real investment experience.
