Some thoughts as a strategy professional for a large tech co:

- Financial : DCFs, multiples, statements, esp what drives value of firms (Resource: Aswath Damodaran)

- Strategy: how firms create value (Resources: YC Startup School lectures esp Peter Theil’ lec on YouTube)

- Ops: YC lecture on metrics investors want (CAC, LTV, diff biz models like aaS, etc)

- most important would be to check out your co’s pitch decks, SEC filings (if public) to understand the core strategy, value prop, financial performance and most critical hypotheses
