JMI process / 90 minute case study

Based on the most helpful WSO content, JMI Equity's hiring process often includes a 90-minute case study, which is likely to focus on growth modeling rather than traditional LBOs. Growth modeling tests typically involve projecting revenue and expenses, understanding key growth drivers, and analyzing metrics like ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue), churn, and customer acquisition costs.

To prepare, you should:

1. Understand SaaS Metrics: JMI Equity often invests in software and tech companies, so being familiar with SaaS metrics like ARR, MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue), LTV (Lifetime Value), and CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) is crucial.

2. Revenue Growth Projections: Be ready to model revenue growth based on assumptions like customer growth, pricing changes, and upsell opportunities.

3. Expense Forecasting: Focus on forecasting operating expenses, including R&D, sales and marketing, and G&A, while maintaining a logical margin profile.

4. Scenario Analysis: Be prepared to run sensitivity analyses on key assumptions to show how changes impact the overall model.

5. Practice Growth Models: If you're less familiar with growth modeling, consider using resources like the WSO Venture Capital Bootcamp, which covers ARR, cap table modeling, and term sheets.
