I joined the Sumo Cum Laude stock pitching course as a complete beginner with no finance background, no idea how to read a 10-K, and definitely no clue what a “DCF” meant. Fast forward a few weeks, and I actually managed to put together a full stock pitch I was proud of. The course really breaks things down in a way that makes sense, even if you're totally new. It covers everything from understanding a company’s business model and competitive edge, to building a simple valuation and writing an investment thesis. What I appreciated most was that it wasn't just theory — you get to apply everything step by step, and by the end, you're actually pitching a real stock. The explanations are super clear and beginner-friendly with no jargon overload. There are templates and examples to guide you, which made things way less intimidating. You also get feedback and support, which helped me figure out what I was doing right (and wrong). Honestly, I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much, but it gave me a solid foundation in equity research and made finance feel a lot more accessible. If you're new to investing or thinking of applying for finance internships, this is a great place to start.

I really enjoy the course setup and outline. Previously I tried to study this on my own but there was simply too much information out there. This course delivered bite-sized and VERY useful breakdown of concepts and ideas. For the price it is going, I would say this is extremely worth it if one were to expedite their learning journey in financial modelling and getting good at investment analysis.

I'm not someone who has taken Econs or Accounting before in school so my prior exposures to anything Finance has mainly consisted of looking up new concepts when I see them discussed in the news or brought up at my internship. In other words, all my knowledge that would pertain to stock pitching was very unstructured. This course fixes that. It sets out all the concepts that one needs to know in a coherent manner. I'm glad this course found me!

Great course with really good content! Lessons were structured in a way that was logical and allowed for me to choose what topics to start off with depending on my goals. A bit more guided practices and entry practices can be provided to allow for better understanding and retention of the knowledge given
