Interview Venture Capital firm

Hi, I'm currently interviewing for a VC firm for the post of analyst. As part of the interview I have been given a task to prepare a PPT about a start up and conduct a market research and present the findings. Could anyone please help me out how to conduct market research like identifying its TAM, SAM, SOM, trends, their business model projections, their strategy..and the list goes on.. Couldn't find where to start.

There's no shortcut to this. Read venture deals, read a bunch of investment theses by popular firms, read MBB reports. All of these resources are a Google search away. Do the hard work and keep your expectations low. Good luck.

Use perplexity to research about these elements for this start up - basically it would go through all the publicly available data for this startup for you. Can also ask it to repurpose this info for the PPT - design, content, flow etc

Switch From PM -> VC

A bit about myself, I am working as a PM in an early stage B2C startup with 2.5 YOE which includes internships too. I was exploring finance out of curiosity and started loving it. Grasped few important concepts around valuation, thesis building, identifying crazy startups and much more. Also, started Venture Scouting for one of the tier-2 VCs in Europe. I am looking to switch to a analyst role in of the VCs which focuses on B2C investments in insurtech, AI, and fintech. What would be the best possible ways to reach to Indian Tier 2 VCs, and what are the other things that I can do to stand out strong? Need help and thanks in advance.

How do I evaluate a start up before applying there?

Making the switch from Business Analyst to APM. I don't mind the lack of WLB (60-70 hours a week) since I'm very early in my career- all I'm looking for is: 1) Learning 2) Above average but not ridiculously high pay (I'll be more than happy with 80k-1LPM in hand) Problem is most companies that are more likely to provide me with these are start ups since I'm not from a Tier-1 college and have a B.Sc. So how do I evaluate a start up's financials before applying there? Most people give vague answers like "check their financials", "figure out how much runway they have left" etc. without going into detail or mentioning any concrete steps.

Angel Investing - Help me understand

I have an MVP version of a startup idea. No revenue yet. Someone is keen to angel invest. How does this work? Can someone answer these questions for me? - If suppose Person X puts in 50L, how do I value my company and thereby equity? - How do I authorise and distribute shares? - Someone mentioned I should do a SAFE - can someone explain how'd that work and would that be a better option than choosing a random number - If I give 20% of company for 50L, how does that change if I raise a future round? Do I issue additional shares? Anyone who has had experience here will help
