Paul Kedrosky: Favorite Three Questions for Early-Stage Companies
At the risk of making life too easy for early-stage companies I'mtalking to, here are three of my favorite questions to ask the team --
which is usually only 2-3 people at this stage -- in one of the first
meetings. I usually select a different person for each distinct question
- I'm a star prospective employee (I usually alternate between salesperson and engineer) you'd like to hire. Recruit me.
- I'm a nervous prospective customer. Gently size the opportunity, and then sell me.
- I'm an angel investor you've just met. You have one minute, so get me interested in taking you seriously.
