A fair warning-- there are precisely zero companies in the world to which the answer to all of these questions is positive. Many of the questions are contradictory when applied across the entire scale of an org and will only serve to frustrate all but the most persistent investors.
The true title for this article should be, "A Turing test to see how risk-averse you are."

- blowski 4y agoCalling this a checklist is probably confusing. It's better described as a list of answers you should obtain. For example "Has a co-founder stepped down?". A single yes or no answer doesn't tell you much. But an answer like "Yes, we had two technical co-founders who fundamentally disagreed on technical strategy" should be explored. Why did the disagree? What was the ongoing impact?
