Prepare for VC interviews across associate, principal, partner, venture-partner, EIR, and operating-partner roles. Cover the canonical VC interview elements — market thesis, deal review, portfolio reasoning, "why VC," fit questions, and the IC simulation. Reference when prepping for any VC firm interview, building thesis materials, or rehearsing deal-review answers. VC associate pools are dominated by consulting and finance backgrounds; MD-operators are differentiated but unfamiliar — preparation must explicitly translate the value.

From the source SKILL.md

The biotech VC interview loop tests a small number of stable elements: do you have a thesis, can you do diligence, can you defend a portfolio decision, why do you want this job, and how will you behave in an IC room. For a clinical-physician candidate, every one of these is winnable — the underlying judgment is exactly the kind VC partners want — but only with deliberate preparation that translates clinical thinking into investment language. The candidates who lose are the ones who arrive with great clinical credentials and a vague sense of "I want to be in venture."
