I’ve read quite a few of these guides and they mostly focus on equity/benefits but I think product/market fit and feedback loops are a treasure trove for job seekers because they can show you the future as well as how focused the founder(s) are.
As a founder I’ve never been asked about feedback loops and rarely get asked about product market fit. We’re not technically a startup anymore, so that could be why. But I think those are useful questions for any company that isn’t a household name like Facebook or Apple.
What you should be looking for in an answer is whether it sounds like the company knows who it’s serving and is actively working to understand that audience even better.
Regardless of valuation, rounds of VC, or the flavor of popsicles you can find in the fridge, fit is what will ultimately get success. In my opinion/experience.
P.S. - understanding everything else is also super important for _you_, but this is important to understand to tell if there’s a future in which those would be worth anything.
