"* How much money is in the bank, i.e. how long can they go until the next investment round?" Is there any way to verify this information? Anyone can say anyt

  Indeed, but I've never found that necessary. The reactions to the question, including non-verbal, tell you a whole lot, as does the specificity of the reply.

  You might be able to look at your country's company registration office and look at the annual reports they file. They might claim to have been profitable and cash flow positive for years, but their annual reports might show something different.

    "look at the annual reports they file" only applicable for public companies or those with enough shareholders that they have to issue public reports. For small startups it doesn't apply. FYI: Just did the biannual report for NY state (for a small partnership) -- they don't ask for income; they just want a statement of ownership

      Depends on the area and country. Some small non public companies that I'd consider start up have had to file reports.
