Everything to prepare for a Golden Ventures interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Golden Ventures

Pre-seed and seed focus means working with companies at their earliest and most formative stage.
Small, tight team in Toronto.
