They were interested in why Denver and why Platte River. They were very strong on fit and claimed to have a great culture. They have a number of associates that try to come back after B school. They were interested in how you think about the sectors they cover. Most of the questions were fit based with a few questions about how you think as a high level investor. They wanted to know how you thought about morphing from an individual contributor as an associate to a VP that is more of a QB on their deals.

How did you answer each of these questions (please be specific)?:
It was important that there were ties to Denver and the idea of being in Cherry Hills. The idea that you are moving to Denver with no experience or ties to the West is not a strong way to continue in their process. It was important to look at all of their past and present portfolio companies to understand their focused strategy. They are very focused on their sectors and it is important that you show a sense of interest to their sector expertise. They were also interested in knowing how as a VP you would lead Associates.
