Venture capital interviews are fundamentally different from banking, consulting, or operations roles. Interviewers probe how you evaluate startup potential, whether you can assess founder quality and resilience, and how you size markets and model unit economics under uncertainty. They expect you to quickly build investment theses, identify competitive advantages and moats, stress-test assumptions, and defend your conviction on founders and markets—often with limited data and high stakes.
Generic startup knowledge misses this. You need scenarios that mirror real sourcing, diligence, and investment committee debates. That's what the AI coach here provides: real startup investment cases, founder scenario assessments, market sizing exercises, unit economics deep dives, and structured feedback on your investment thinking and analytical rigor.
How it works

- Track your progress across 20+ venture capital competencies with adaptive difficulty
Why venture capital interviews need dedicated prep
Venture capital interviews demand a completely different mindset than other finance roles. You're not optimizing returns on existing businesses—you're betting on founders and markets with incomplete information. Every question is about founder quality, market size, defensibility, and unit economics. Can this founder execute? Is the TAM real? What's the path to profitability? How defensible is the moat?
The AI coach here pushes you specifically in these ways: building conviction on founder resilience and vision alignment, sizing markets from first principles with defensible assumptions, modeling unit economics (CAC, LTV, NRR, payback) with sensitivity analysis, identifying competitive advantages and moats early, stress-testing investment theses against downside scenarios, and articulating bold, nuanced investment perspectives.
