I have to create some slides for my 1hr final round case study in person. It’s based off a company and I have to discuss the business model, how it competes, strengths and weaknesses, how I’d think about valuation, etc.
My question is, how much time should I spend preparing these materials? It’s pretty open ended so I could see myself spending days or just mere hours depending on effort.
