Capital Drill Boot Camps (Online and In-the-Classroom)
Capital Drill provides two (2) Boot Camp Cohorts to accelerate the Capital Drill Certification of a private shareholder company. The first is a four day ONLINE via Google Meets webinar and the second is a four day in-person Class. Both Cohort Boot Camps conduct a pre-requisite 2-hour training program prior to the actual beginning of the Cohort training. The purpose of this session is to distribute the Capital Drill Workbook templates that serve as the GUIDE that requires completion prior to the beginning of each Cohort.
Upon completion of each Cohort, the companies will be knowledgeable on using the Capital Drill Subscription model, which will be used to store all of their fully diluted Shareholder cap table modeling runs. This will complete the company's Capital Drill Certification
