Need Help w/ L/S Pitching to Get on VIC

I'm a rising sophomore in college trying to practice stock pitching to see if I like it and if I'm cut out for it. Trying to test that out to see if I can get a good enough submission for VIC. I've done very rudimentary stock pitches for clubs at school but nothing crazy advanced. Any suggestions on where I should start (sourcing, what to do next, what questions I should be researching for, modeling, etc.) and any tips? Also what are channel checks and should I be doing that? I find myself running out of information to dig on for publics so not sure what I should do to create a quality pitch. Appreciate the advice.

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
