Newly redesigned with a clean, premium interface, PEPath takes you from your first headhunter call to a signed offer.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• 300+ Mock Interview Questions - Two tracks: PE Recruiting (fit & story, LBO technical, accounting & valuation, deal discussion, markets) and Investment Banking Fundamentals (accounting, enterprise value, valuation, DCF, merger models, LBO modeling, brain teasers). Every question includes a model answer, the key points to hit, and common mistakes to avoid.

• 375+ PE Firm Directory - Search firms across megafund, large-cap, middle-market, growth, credit, infrastructure, and secondaries — now with firm logos. Auto-fill firm details and use Find People at This Firm to search LinkedIn by seniority level.

• Paper LBO Practice - 10 timed prompts (back-solving, margin expansion, leverage sensitivity, dividend recaps, and more) with full step-by-step model answers.

• Case Study Vault - 7 realistic recruiting case studies across full 3-statement LBO, simple-form LBO, and investment-memo formats, each with the full scenario, deliverables, what a strong answer covers, and common mistakes.

• 140+ Flashcards - Spaced-repetition decks across LBO Concepts, Accounting & Valuation, Fit & Behavioral, and Market Knowledge, with daily goals.

• Pipeline Tracker - Track every firm by stage with progress bars and follow-up reminders. List and Kanban views.

• Headhunter Directory & Networking CRM - PE headhunter profiles with fund coverage and outreach tips, plus a CRM that syncs your contacts across firms and outreach.

• Curriculum - 8 modules and 37 lessons covering your PE story, LBO fundamentals, deal discussion, technical concepts, market knowledge, and the recruiting process.

2 cases free. Upgrade for the full vault.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-04-24

Improved the Find People at This Firm feature - LinkedIn search now returns direct results instead of requiring a separate login.

Also polished a handful of small details based on early feedback. Thanks for using PEPath.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-04-23

This is a metadata + feature update from v1.0.1.

What's new in v1.0.2:

1. Expanded PE firm directory from ~175 to 300+ firms across all major PE strategies (megafund, middle market, growth equity, credit, infrastructure, secondaries). All firm data is publicly available from firm websites and standard industry sources.

2. New "Find People at This Firm" feature on the firm detail page. This presents two action buttons:
   • "Search on LinkedIn" — opens LinkedIn People Search via SFSafariViewController with the firm name and selected seniority level as the search query. Does not collect, store, or transmit any user data.
   • "Find Team Page" — opens a Google site-scoped search via SFSafariViewController to surface the firm's team/people page. Does not collect, store, or transmit any user data.

3. App Store review prompts (using SKStoreReviewController) trigger after positive engagement moments (curriculum module completion or daily flashcard goal) with a 90-day cooldown.

No new permissions requested. No login required. No third-party SDKs added. All content remains gated behind the same in-app subscription as v1.0.1.

Thanks for the review.
