All,
I am currently going through an interview process with a VC firm and have been asked to complete a case study at home. They let me pick they 24-hour window of my choice and I'm to return the deliverable the next day.
Anyone ever had something similar? What should I expect?
I've searched this forum (and others) but I haven't been able to find a lot of good info for VC case studies. Any suggestions on how to prepare?
Thanks!
HI, I am going through a similar process. Could you share some of you experience? What was the case about and what were they asking for? Cheers
I had 2 similar cases during my interviews.
In one, I was given a sales dataset for a fictional ecommerce company. Asked to go through it, evaluate the company, identify areas of concern, and identify additional questions to be asked. Product was a ~4 slide ppt deck. Very straightforward coming from a consulting background. Discussed my findings with an associate for about an hour.
In the other, I was given the pitch deck of an actual company the firm had been evaluating and asked to put together 1 page (word doc) on my thoughts: pros, cons, concerns, additional questions, etc. This was much more challenging without previous VC experience but much more indicative of the actual work I'm doing on the job. Discussed my thoughts with a VP for about an hour. Given the more subjective nature of the case, they were applying much more pressure on my assumptions.
VC Case Study (Originally Posted: 11/24/2014)
Greetings,
I recently made it through the phone interview portion for a pre-mba associate role at a family office VC fund. In a week or two I will be receiving a case study via email to complete and send back. Any idea on what I should expect? All replies are appreciated.
