d&c trying to steal college students ideas now given they are simply underperforming every index with higher risk and less diversification. and no, im not in PE

 

These stock pitch competitions end up being so nefarious nowadays. I’ve seen kids do channel checks with management for the company they’re pitching, use some crazy explanations and valuations that have confused Viking analysts, and put hundreds of hours into them.

Not necessarily a bad thing but not smth to judge your worth on. I think a good pitch is one where you can break a company down into its components and business models and truly explain what drives it.

 

Fr, and so many mentorship groups (OSG...) basically just build kids pitches. Gets a bit disheartening, wish the rejects (me) could even get 1-2 sentences of feedback on why they didn't like our pitch. I really liked that about Farallon. 

 

Yeah when i interviewed for my job for this summer in HF, they asked me pitches but not a prez obviously. Moreso what drove the business, why the business was good, flaws in the model, etc…

Nothing about making the slides look pretty lol
