I disagree with 4 out of the 5. > "How many people do you hire in a typical month?" Is there such a thing as a "typical month" in a startup? Isn't the definition of a startup that it's moving fast, things change and you have to roll with the punches? > "Who was the last person to quit, and why?" Good luck getting a real answer out of this question. They're not going to say that "he hated the atmosphere", or "the pay was too low". They're going to say something positive-sounding and completely bland. It tells you nothing about the company at all, unless they completely trash talk the person who just left. > "When do you intend to raise money, and why?" Again, you'll be lucky to get a real answer on this as well. If you get an "X months of runway before we need to raise again", there are a million assumptions built into that, and things change quickly. "Is the company primarily financed by selling product, or selling itself?" is probably a better question to ask. > "Can I see where I’ll sit?" Seriously? Again: it's a startup, things change. In the 2 weeks it might take you to start, the seating plan may have changed 3 times. Ask for a tour of the office, sure! Depending on the startup, it's unlikely that you'll be spending 2,000+ hours a year sitting at the same desk. Offices will move, things will be re-arranged, etc. Look at how the workspace is set up, to be sure; but asking something this specific seems like an odd request. > "What do I want to do accomplish in my life, and how does this help me down that path?" This one I agree with.
