Private Equity Interview - Model & Investment Memo template?

All - would anyone be willing to share an Excel and/or PPT template they successfully used to prep for a Private Equity interview (think case interview with three statement Excel model, investment memo complete with investment thesis, biz/market overview, transaction analysis, valuation outputs, risks & mitigants, etc...). For context, this would be for a MM PE interview.

I am sure this is a repost, but anyone with a great template or two they'd be willing to pass along to help out a fellow WSO junkie, that would be very appreciated! DM me if you can help.

Thanks!!

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“John was a pleasure to speak with and someone who resonated very closely with my background. Just as the call started, he immediately got to work in understanding my goals and objectives, providing direct insights into what to expect. He not only provided direct mentorship into evaluating my interview strategy, but gave nuanced insights into how I came across when answering questions, and how to best leverage the opportunity given to me based on his personal experience. Having experience in both Evercore and also Private Equity, he was uniquely equipped in helping me prepare for the opportunity, especially given the rarity of my particular role. Greatly appreciated my time with John and look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“Julius is an amazing mentor, and he is very encouraging and willing to help. I appreciated the way he packaged his feedbacks to make sure it does not sound harsh and demotivating, and how he was fair with evaluating my current status with interview skills. So far I have not found anything disturbing about him.”

Hey Associate 1 in IB-M&A, what a lonely thread. I'm here since nobody responded ...so maybe one of these discussions will help:

More suggestions...

Hey

I know you made this post a long time ago but thought I should ask if you have a model & investment memo template that you could share?
