I didn’t apply to Wharton so can’t answer this, but just wanted to say good luck and I hope it goes well! As someone who stresses out a lot (usually for no reason) I would just say spend a little time preparing today and then the rest of the time trying to relax. You’ve made it this far and that’s a big deal, do the best you can and leave the rest to admissions because it’s out of your Hands at that point.

Thank you so much, will definitely try to stay relaxed tomorrow ☺️

Honestly just be a normal personable individual, think of everyone in the TBD as your peers not your competitors. You'd do fine!

I go to Wharton and the rule of thumb I always heard is, "Just don't be an a**hole" - be very friendly and positive and everything should be fine. (Obviously not a perfect process as we've recently seen, but ya know...)

Thank you for your kind advice - I believe it went well (not as bad as I was thinking). ☺️

Looking to confirm or crush my expectation as part of a business model. Are M&A like technology assessments somewhat standardized for angel investors or do you start by independently evaluating specific platform, data, code, technical architecture issues? I’m assuming there are individuals who seek technology risks for value opportunities while others avoid such risks. Is it common to ignore technology choices or are there other options I’m missing?

Hi there!
I completed the last round of an interview (presentation) last week. Originally they said they would be calling my references & then make an offer accordingly.
Today they updated that they'd like me to travel to their HQ (based in Nordics & I'm in London) for the final round where I'd meet the CEO, the hiring manager and a couple of people in the team.
I don't think I'm the only one in the process - even though initially the last round was the presentation.
What are your thoughts?
