Fund the Dream: Choosing the Right Source of Finance
Simulation to teach sources of finance through a UK e-bike startup choosing the right funding across five business stages
About this simulation
Multi-class restructuring negotiation simulation for MBA Track 3C. Players take the CRO seat (Verónica Aguilar-Trías) at Helio Cárnicos S.A., a Costarian meat-processing subsidiary of Helio Verde, on Day 0 of the 14-day Ley Concursal clock.
Across 14 daily decision points the team builds the priority-of-claims waterfall, secures the FCTA labour-priority handshake, lines up Banco Andino super-priority DIP financing, designs the three-tranche Río Plata counter-offer, files the pre-pack scheme under Article 5, defends procedural objections at the bench in front of Magistrada Romero-Tinoco, and delivers the Friday-13:00 one-pager to parent CEO Lucía Arenas-Beltrán.
Teaches diagnosis-before-decision, BATNA-vs-stated-position discipline on holdout distressed funds, multi-party creditor sequencing, DIP-sizing under affiliate-subordination risk, and appeal-survivable procedural-record discipline.
