The things students ask us most before they sign up.
Ten minutes is the floor — one daily question, a news swipe, a few flashcards. Most users do 10–110 minutes during their commute or coffee break. The whole point is that it fits into spare moments, not that it adds another hour to your schedule.
Yes. Your roadmap adapts to your level. Beginners start with Foundations (markets, products, the three statements) before unlocking valuation, M&A and LBO content. You're never thrown into a DCF on day one.
Free content is everywhere — structure isn't. Northstar gives you a curriculum, a daily habit, spaced repetition so things actually stick, a live score across the dimensions interviewers test, and a leaderboard that keeps you honest. It's the difference between scrolling and training.
Northstar can't sit the interview for you, but it makes sure you walk in sharp on technicals, fluent on recent deals, and clear on why each firm. That's the difference between a strong candidate and a forgettable one — and it's exactly what we drill, every day.
