Built by Someone Who's Been Through It
IB IQ started with a simple frustration: why are we still prepping for interviews with 2010 methods?
Why I Built IB IQ
After completing my Master in Finance at ESSEC (#4 globally - Financial Times 2025) and working in VC, then M&A at Clipperton (leading tech M&A boutique based in Paris), I made a choice: leave finance to build something that actually helps people.
But I couldn't shake one frustration from my recruiting days - interview prep was broken. My classmates and I were drowning in:
- Static PDFs we couldn't track progress on
- $300+ guides with outdated questions
- No way to practice on the subway or between classes
- Zero feedback on whether our answers were actually good
The most successful candidates weren't necessarily the smartest - they were the ones who practiced consistently. But the tools made that nearly impossible.
From Frustration to Innovation
I combined two things:
1. What I knew: IB and PE interviews, having gone through them myself and watched dozens of friends navigate BB and EB processes
2. What I loved: Building mobile apps that solve real problems
IB IQ was born from a simple insight: your phone is always with you, but your interview prep wasn't.
I worked with analysts and associates from bulge brackets and elite boutiques - many of them former classmates now thriving in IB and PE - to ensure every question and answer reflects what's actually being asked in interviews TODAY, not five years ago.
Making Elite Prep Accessible

- Great interview prep shouldn't cost $500/hour
