Being in investment banking for a number of years, we have learned how to get through this initial process fairly quickly. Seeing on an average day 25 to 30 projects, one has to develop a process that they can quickly evaluate and select those projects that they want to pursue taking to the next step.

 

For those of you who have not had this background, the time you may need to take in this initial evaluation and selection process might seem to be time consuming but it is a step you cannot pass up. It is in this initial step that you weed out those projects that do not meet your investment criteria so you do not waste your valuable time on project files that take the time away from those projects that do meet your investment criteria.

 

Therefore, the first process into the investment banking realm, which each of you will be there, is determining what your investment criteria is.
