Kalaari Capital Fellowship
Context- Applied for the 24’ Kalaari Fellowship, still waiting for interview shortlists Would love to hear your experiences/ what you know about the fellowship. — Tips on how to crack VC (analyst) interviews are welcome! — To all 24’ applicants- have you heard back? If yes, pls share deets
A good friend of mine did the fellowship. 21-23 cohort.
Few things to keep in mind:
- it’s a LOT of work
- having a specialisation helps. They’re equally invested in marketing as they are on portfolio & investments
- some of the partners aren’t very nice to work for
- not everyone gets absorbed into Kalaari post 2 years. A lot of them get good jobs elsewhere though. The network is very good.
- a lot of the analysts leave in the first 6 months. The burden of their work gets moved to the ones who remain.
Hope this helps.

Gave the case interview recently, somethings you can prepare for basis my experience:
1. Kalaari portfolio companies and business models of a couple, even if it's the big ones
2. Ground problems of the sector thesis you've prepared
3. Basic market sizing guesstimate preparation
4. A couple of interest projects on your resume, and if you've worked with a startup, know their business model and if you would invest
