Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Beedie Capital
Venture interviews test sourcing and judgement rather than technicals. Bring a company they have not invested in and explain why you would back it, then name a portfolio company of theirs you find interesting and why. That does more than any structural reason.
The direct investment arm of a major private company, so the capital is permanent and there is no fundraising cycle.
Provides flexible and structured capital rather than only equity, which means you learn debt and hybrid structures alongside venture.
Vancouver-based, which is a rare West Coast growth seat.
