Everything to prepare for a Coldwater Corporate Finance interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
At this size the interviewer is usually a founding partner, so a reason assembled from the firm’s homepage will not survive. Build the answer from four things instead, in order: one named transaction from their tombstones and what you found interesting about it; who you would report to, and what you want to learn from them specifically; why small, in your own words, tied to something you have actually done; and why this sector or region, if the firm has one.
There is little reliable public material on Coldwater Corporate Finance, and an answer assembled from a homepage will not survive a founding partner. Build it from one named transaction, who you would report to, and why you want a team this small.
Establish first: whether the practice is advisory, financing or both.
