Mission Statement
Swan Academy is a career services preparatory institution founded in Austin, Texas in 2024. The academy’s mission statement is to educate, enable, and prepare future leaders in the financial services industry. Swan Academy instructors are graduates of top universities (University of Texas, UChicago, Penn) and also bring with them decades of corporate finance, consulting, and sales & trading experience.
The academy is preparing for a Fall 2024 launch of live corporate valuation & strategy classes. Cost of the class will be $3,500 per student. Financing options are available, so please reach out to us in case of special needs or circumstances.
While our focus is on students and early career professionals who graduated with liberal arts degrees, we are also happy to assist those with different backgrounds and circumstances. As veterans in the industry, we love rooting for those who take the paths less taken, so we totally understand that!
As always, we’re here to help - thank you and god bless!!
