Land a Growth Equity Offer in 3 Months
1. Story and positioning We begin by crafting your personal narrative. Growth equity firms value how you think and why you are here. They want to see what you offer that a standard finance hire lacks. We will build your specific "why growth equity" story from zero. This ensures your pitch is sharp before you speak to anyone. 2. Cold email and networking strategy Most people just send spam. You will not. We will build a smart outreach system. You will learn who to contact at each firm and how to write emails that earn replies. We also cover how to turn those chats into referrals. You will leave with a working email sequence to send the very same week. 3. Proof of work One way to stand out in outreach heavy roles is to show you have done the job. We will pick one or two sectors where you have a real edge. Then we map out a short thesis or sector memo. You can attach this to your emails or use it in your interviews. 4. Technical and case study prep Growth equity focuses more on themes and company health than old school models. You still must know the basics. We cover market sizing, unit economics, and growth paths. We will learn how to judge if a firm is worth a look. We will practice with live case studies together. 5. Behavioral interview coaching We will run full mock interviews. These cover the most frequent questions like your background or why you chose growth equity. We also prep for questions on deals you like or how you find new leads. You get fast feedback on your tone and content. We will even prep for the odd curveball. 6. Fast support between sessions Send your questions or drafts at any time. You can share cold email replies whenever they come in. You will get a response within 36 hours.
What's included
- A clear, differentiated positioning story that explains your background, your interest in growth equity, and why you're a strong hire
- A cold outreach system: a targeted firm list, a working email template sequence, and a strategy for turning replies into real conversations with people who can refer or hire you.
- A proof of work sample — a short sector memo or investment thesis in your strongest area — that you can attach to outreach emails or walk through in first-round interviews to immediately stand out.
- Interview readiness across behavioral and technical questions, with at least two full mock interview reps and written feedback so you know exactly what to tighten before the real thing.

I've coached 4 deferred MBA applicants with a 100% M7 admit rate, including admits to Stanford (x2), Wharton, Booth, and Columbia. Separately via HeadStart Fellowship, I've helped 100+ students land roles at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Blackstone, and other top firms. My background as a content creator (100K+ followers) means I think about applications differently. I don't just edit essays. I help you figure out what story you need to tell and how to make admissions committees feel something about you. Every strong application leaves the reader with one clear emotion, whether that's "this person is resilient" or "this person will change their industry." I'm really good at finding that narrative in your experiences and building your entire application around it. I specialize in everything except exam prep: essays, interviews, profile building, and recommender prep. If it involves storytelling, that's where I add the most value. Stanford GSB deferred admit (1 of ~30 selected globally). Founded HeadStart Fellowship serving 300+ underrepresented students. Former investor at Lead Edge Capital and General Atlantic. Graduated from UT Austin with internships at Goldman, Uber, and Opendoor.
