I'd expect to talk about my past VC internship work, why I'm interested in the space, and I'll have some questions about where they're at in their next fundraising round (have 2 rounds under their belt) and if any position would be 2yr and out, but I'm at a loss as to what else I need to prepare for or ask about..
Can't give too much more context, but they've also said little on their end. So beyond the above, I'm not sure what else I should do to put my best foot forward. appreciate any thoughts!
I might ask how investment decisions are made - some firms have collaborative decisions and others just have VPs vote before IC. What criteria is most important to them on a go/no go. Another question could be opportunities to advise on strategy post-investment or have a role to observe in board meetings. How much of the associate role is sourcing calls and what the typical sources tend to be.
I would ask all of these questions very tactfully if you don’t get a sense of their answers earlier - basically questions that would get at professional development opportunities on the long term vs cranking out cold calls to source and burning the midnight oil on investment models.
thanks B1! really helpful. I have a week to prepare so should be in good shape.
Also see what % of your time would be devoted to what (diligence/sourcing/transactions)
