Everything to prepare for a Tall Grass Ventures interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
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.
There is little reliable public material on Tall Grass Ventures, 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: the stage, sector focus and fund status, then build the answer from the firm's stated thesis and one portfolio company.
