Email to schedule first interview
Interview 1 (what I remember from zoom):
- Tell me about yourself
- Why VC
- What sorts of markets are you interested in (I looked at their portfolio and chose one, nonrecurring market and said I specialized in that which wasn't 100% a lie but I'm certainly not spending everyday researching ASICS)
- Step me through your resume (I knew I had to sell CS so I literally didn't even answer this question and said why CS is good in VC
- If you were to describe Firm Name how would you do it (mentioned they have a good amount of IPOs, mentioned they work as VCaaS not strictly VC)
Interview 2 (what I remember from zoom):
- Tell me about yourself
- He absolutely pounded me for finance experience, which I have little to none of so that's when I thought I blew it.
- Asked me about funding for the startup which I said we got friends and family and 3k for the bootcamp
