Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Got into the process via recruiter. Initial screen consisted of three rounds:
1. One with an associate
2. One with a principal
3. A partner on the investing team
All were mostly centered around sourcing and past experience on my resume. After that there was a two-part case study:
1. One mostly focused around analyzing customer data
2. The second part was a mock cold call
The final round was in person.
