Everything to prepare for a Inovia Capital interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Inovia 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.
Early and growth funds under one roof, so you see companies from seed through scale rather than one stage.
Montreal-rooted with a strong European network, which is unusual for a Canadian fund.
Operating partners with real company-building experience rather than only investing backgrounds.
