Anyone interview at Bain Capital Ventures for an associate role? Any tips? The first round is synthesizing takeaways from an S-1...

Takeaways from an S-1 should be broken down to 1) valuation - from the capitalization section, 2) industry, 3) competitive positioning, 4) is this a good or bad business, and do they justify the valuation. If you really wanna get cute you can find the incentive comp section to see if there is anything interesting there

Associate 1 clearly has no idea what they're talking about. The articles all refer to Bain capital which is the PE arm also, not the venture arm
