No, LBOs are for mature companies where there’s an existing financial structure. VCs don’t buy the entire startup out either, only a certain % of stake.


You’ll probably be asked to make a hypothetical Investment Thesis to showcase your POV on the industry the VC fund invests in. You may even be asked case-like questions for the technical component of the interview.

In the later rounds you can also expect more fit based HR questions
