Research a Company Before Your Interview
Walk into the interview with the five things most candidates skip: numbers, deals, news, culture, and leadership context.
5 steps
1
Pull the core numbers first
Start with revenue, margins, segments, and growth so you can explain the business in plain English without guessing.
💡 Pro tip: Write one sentence on how the company makes money and one sentence on what changed recently.
📝 Context: You are building a one-page company brief, not an analyst deck.
2
Check funding, acquisitions, and ownership
PitchBook tells you what the company has been betting on and who is backing those bets.
💡 Pro tip: Look for the most recent round, lead investors, and any acquisitions in the last two years.
📝 Context: This matters most for private companies, startups, and any team talking about expansion, new markets, or M&A.
