- What (and how much) research have the founders done to validate their product idea?
- Is there a pipeline of committed customers / early adopters?
- Who is the competition / who are the competitors?
- Why are you better?
- Why will $unicorn_comp NOT come into this market?
- Equity is a large part of my compensation. Can I see the cap table?
Demand answers in plain language, no flowery fluffy management-consultantese. Given your early stage employee AND c-level, I would expect nothing less than 100% transparency.
