When you first meet a VC, he/she will be trying to assess whether you are looking for a home run, or would be content with an early exit...

They are interested in your reaction, your body language, and the fact that you've spent brain cycles on this. ^ I completely agree with this. I've been asked many times "How big will this get?", and being the modest person I am I would reply "I don't know.", because I am a realist and I know things can be hit and miss -- I really didn't know... but I've since learned that modesty doesn't sell. At all. Be ready to answer this question.
