Can you talk about a company you admire and what makes them attractive to you?
Answer
This is another one where you should tailor it to an industry. Again, you could Google something like “Companies Influencing Oil & Gas Data Analysis”. Could also pick a long-standing industry titan.
Example
I really have been impressed by Databricks. The way they’ve managed to capitalize early on AI stands out: they provide secure, industry-agnostic data pools to store and train data. This will enable them to have a strong moat by being closer to customers from all kinds of industries.
Why this matters to bankers
Bankers obviously have to be sharp evaluators of businesses. Usually, you have to build these concepts from first principles. So when bankers see how you look for things like a moat and macro tailwinds, they know what to look for when evaluating new companies.
