Everything to prepare for a Round13 Capital interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Round13 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.
Growth-stage Canadian technology, filling the gap between seed and large US growth rounds, which is a real structural position in this market.
Separate digital asset strategy alongside the core fund.
Small team with a defined Canadian focus.
Firm-specific questions
Why Round13 Capital over Portage or Georgian?
Anchor your answer in what sets it apart: co-founded by lavalife's bruce croxon; growth-stage canadian tech with five themes; several vehicles, from venture to digital assets.
Walk me through a recent deal Round13 Capital worked on.
For example Apex Group Technologies (backer / investor (platform)). Cover the rationale, valuation and what the firm did.
