FundSim
FundSim is a free finance simulator for practicing deal mechanics in private equity, venture capital, and investment banking. It is browser-based and is described as requiring no Excel, no signup, and no cost. The site also refers to it as Fund Sim, Fund Simulate, and fundsimulate.
Its main functions are interactive LBO models, DCF valuation, M&A accretion and dilution testing, PE waterfall distributions, and VC cap table stress testing. The page also mentions live calculations for IRR, MOIC, and WACC. In addition to the simulator itself, FundSim includes learning material such as an LBO model explanation, a free DCF calculator and valuation walkthrough, a WACC calculator explanation, an accretion/dilution calculator, LBO interview questions, and a collection of guides.
The site explicitly says it is used by students breaking into PE, VC, and IB. That framing matches the tool’s own PE, VC, and IB model categories and the finance-simulator label used on the page. Because the product runs in the browser, it is accessed as a web-based tool rather than as a downloadable application.
