MBB Math Guide

MBB Math Guide

The interviewer slides a number across the table, the mental clock starts, and a perfectly capable person goes silent, scrawls something unlabeled in a corner of the page, and produces an answer with no idea whether it's plausible. This guide fixes that. It distills MBB quantitative interviewing down to the seven patterns that show up again and again: market sizing, breakeven, profitability trees, ROI and payback, the margin-versus-markup trap, capacity and utilization, and unit economics. It works each one through a full, spoken-aloud solution, the way you'd actually deliver it in the room. You'll learn to frame the equation before you calculate, round aggressively and say so, sanity-check every number against the real world, and close with the one sentence that separates a calculator from a consultant.

MBB Market Sizing Guide

MBB Market Sizing Guide

You can get the number right and still fail the case. MBB interviewers aren't scoring your arithmetic; they're scoring whether you stated the equation before you computed, whether you caught that transactions aren't cups, whether you know an installed base from an annual sales flow and whether you finished with the business implication instead of the number. This guide is seven cases, ordered by difficulty, each written the way the question actually appears in a real interview: clarifying questions worth asking, the trap that catches the average candidate, a full worked answer, and a breakdown of what separates a strong one. You'll size: + Disposable cups at a national coffee chain + Airport throughput two independent ways + UK pet insurance + German elevator maintenance + US EV fast-charging in 2030 + An AI radiology product with no observable price + US residential HVAC

How to Stand Out in VC Recruiting

How to Stand Out in VC Recruiting

Venture capital recruiting is relationship-driven, competitive, and often opaque—and standing out requires far more than a strong resume. In this session, you’ll learn how VC firms actually evaluate candidates, what signals investing potential, and how to differentiate yourself through sourcing, market insight, and clear thinking. We’ll cover networking strategies, outreach, interview preparation, and how to demonstrate judgment and curiosity even without prior investing experience.
