Everything to prepare for a Osprey Capital Partners interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
2 reasons for Osprey Capital Partners
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.
National mid-market advisory with offices across Canada, which is unusual at this size and means regional mandate flow.
Owner-operator clients rather than public companies.
Firm-specific questions
