Crossover Interview Prep
Does anyone know what to expect in a crossover fund interview? I'll be working on both public and private tech investing, but I’m unsure what to focus on while preparing. IB and PE interviews felt pretty straightforward, but for a crossover fund that invests from Series B all the way to the largest MAG-7 companies, I'm not sure where to prepare. Will the interview be more like GE or HF interviews, or a mix of both? Should I also prepare for a sourcing call, stock pitch, or Series B pitch? Will the model be a DCF or LBO?
Prepare 1-3 stock pitches, likely all longs (though see if you can understand what they run net / if they look for alpha shorts) and presumably with a bias towards 1-3 year holding periods (i.e., don’t just have the catalyst be that they are going to beat next Q earnings). I’d also have a pitch for 1-2 private companies in the space they invest in, ideally tied to some thematic view you have. If you can tie some of the public and private views together under a theme that could be a nice touch as well
What about the model? I'd assume it's a DCF?
A DCF? On the buyside? You sure you're an assoc 2 in PE?
