Do you evaluate publicly traded companies? Wouldn't a publicly traded company be easier to evaluate? Are these companies' financial statements audited? How do you know if the books are cooked?JeffMon, 20 Aug 2007 17:17:00 -0000http://www.wasatchgirl.com/2007/08/17/the-due-diligence-process/#comment-3993108There are many different types of analysts on Wall Streets. I am doing the exact same thing as other venture capital analysts. If by the term "Wall Street Analyst" you are referring to those who are analyzing stocks, the main difference would be that I work in the private rather than public market and I am looking at companies that are extremely early stage, often just an idea with one or two management team members in place.Wasatch GirlMon, 20 Aug 2007 16:58:00 -0000http://www.wasatchgirl.com/2007/08/17/the-due-diligence-process/#comment-3993107How is what you are doing different from what a Wall Street analyst does?JeffMon, 20 Aug 2007 16:54:00 -0000
