I get asked by aspiring PMs all the time about how to prep for their case interviews.
@Lewis_Lin 's CIRCLEs framework is a classic for product design cases.
But if you really want to stand out, don't regurgitate it. Use it as a way to frame your thinking about the problem.

Now, this great new paper shows when and how solo founders beat teams: when they can draw on networks of co-creators. Look at the tables!
