The Problem With Finance Education
Finance is one of the most valuable skills on earth. And the hardest to learn well.

A CFA takes 4 years and costs $3,000+ in exams alone. An MBA at a top school costs $200,000+. And most programs still teach you theory — not how deals actually get done, how VCs actually think, or how CFOs actually make decisions.

The practitioners who know the real answers — the fund managers, the IB directors, the startup CFOs — can only mentor a handful of people per year. The rest of the world never gets access.

MAYA · Concept F01 · DCF Valuation
Morning, Arjun. Last session you built your first DCF model — you got the structure right but your terminal growth rate assumption was aggressive at 4.5%. Let's fix that today before we move to comparable company analysis.
Stage 1 — Hook · Terminal Value Challenge
Right — I was using GDP growth as a proxy but that's probably too high for a mature company. Should I use industry CAGR instead?
M
Sharp instinct. Industry CAGR is a better anchor, but the real answer from Jason Kraus: terminal growth should never exceed long-run inflation unless you can justify structural advantage. For most companies: 2–3%. Moving to Stage 2.

A Message from the School Director
Finance is the language of business — but most finance education teaches you the vocabulary without ever putting you in a real conversation. What we have built at Mentogram is different. Every concept you learn here comes from practitioners who have done the actual work — closed the deals, built the models, lost the trades and learned from them. My job as School Director is to make sure that knowledge is real, rigorous, and relevant to where the world is going. Welcome to the School of Finance.
