Behavioral Case Presentation
The interview process was really intense. First, there's a screening round that's pretty quick and mostly behavioral questions. Then, you have to build a memo for one of three companies they give you. The last part is presenting that memo to the whole team, which takes about an hour. It's a steep learning curve but great experience if you want to get into VC.
