More than banking
Pick your seat when you sign up and everything adapts to it — the questions, the drills, the voice mock, the models and the deal sims. One engine, ten routes in every section.
Investment banking / corporate finance
Markets & research
Buy-side
Corporate & other
You choose your target at onboarding; you can switch it any time. The routes below are exactly the ones you'll pick from.
The Dojo
Knowing ≠ communicating ≠ doing the job. We train all three — and the judgment behind them.
Say it
Adaptive interviews — the interviewer speaks, you answer out loud, and pushes back like a VP.
Drill it
Spaced-repetition drills on your weakest concepts, with infinite fresh variants.
Build it
Build DCF, LBO, M&A, three-statement, DDM, credit and more — ten model types in an embedded sheet; we catch formula, linking and conceptual errors in VP tone.
Live it
The Friday-6pm email. Deliver an IC memo, then defend it under an MD's pushback.
Test it
The timed psychometric battery graduate recruiters actually screen with — numerical, verbal, logical, SJT and more, with a fresh test every sitting.
Set your target
Role, firm tier, interview date — readiness is measured against a specific seat, not in the abstract.
Take a baseline
A short interview. An AI interviewer grades you like a real VP and gives you an honest Readiness Report.
Train the gaps
An adaptive engine serves the single highest-impact next action — drills, models, mocks, deal sims — and a spaced-repetition deck brings your weak spots back until they stick.
Prove you're ready
Your readiness score breaks down the dimensions a real process judges — technical, modelling, communication, behavioural, composure. A number you can act on, not a feeling.
Memory, engineered
Cramming fades within days. Deskcraft's spaced-repetition engine brings each weak spot back on a widening schedule — so what you drill is still sharp weeks later, when it counts.
You miss it
A drill, mock or coaching answer you get wrong becomes a review card — in one click.
It comes back — on schedule
Miss it again and it returns sooner; nail it and it fades to weeks out. The schedule adapts to you.
It sticks
Each pass moves it toward long-term memory — and your progress page shows exactly how much is mature.

Talk to us about cohorts →About us
Deskcraft was born from a simple frustration: candidates walk into IB interviews having read everything and practised nothing. Courses teach concepts; the desk demands performance under pressure. We built the training ground — four modes, a grader that doesn't flatter you, and a readiness score that tells the truth.
Mission
Give every candidate — from any university, not just the target schools — the desk-grade training the top 1% get through their networks.
Vision
To become the operating system for elite finance careers — from your first drill to your signed offer, in every market.
Our sources
Most of it
Investment bankers
We have spoken with hundreds of investment bankers about what they ask in interviews and what they expect to hear. The bulk of the platform's content comes from those conversations.
A smaller part
University programmes
What is taught in the corresponding university degrees, so the technical base lines up with what you have already studied.
The deal simulations and modelling cases use fictional companies built for training. They are not real transactions and contain no confidential information.
About the founder
Íñigo Bohigues has hands-on experience across the entire deal cycle: private-equity screening at Proa Capital (€2B+ AUM), M&A transaction services at KPMG Deal Advisory, and strategy & operations at BDO. He studied a Master in Management at IESE Business School, a BBA at ICADE (Comillas) and Law at Deusto. He built Deskcraft to be the training he wished existed before his first deal — practising like the desk, not just reading about it.
Students and early-career candidates targeting investment banking, and the buyside (private equity, search funds). Europe-first, in English and Spanish.
They train one mode. We train four — explain it, drill it, build it, live it — and score you across every dimension a real process judges, not just whether you spoke well.
Plans are billed monthly and you can cancel anytime. Against a €70–120k first-year offer, getting properly ready is the cheapest trade you'll ever make.
Yes. If Deskcraft isn't for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full — no questions asked. After that, cancel anytime and you keep access until the end of the paid month.
Yes — an embedded sheet with an auto-grader across ten model types (DCF, LBO, M&A, three-statement, DDM, sum-of-the-parts, credit, capital budgeting, restructuring and multiples), with VP-tone feedback on formula, linking and conceptual errors.
Most of it comes from conversations with hundreds of investment bankers about what they ask in interviews and what they expect to hear. A smaller part comes from what is taught in the corresponding university degrees. The deal simulations and modelling cases use fictional companies built for training, never real transactions.
Every question you miss — in a drill, a mock or the coach — can be sent to a spaced-repetition deck. It brings each weak spot back on a schedule: the ones you keep missing return sooner, the ones you nail fade to weeks out. So your technicals are still sharp on interview day instead of fading a week later — and your progress page shows exactly how much has moved into long-term memory.
