I have worked at a number of startups and I hire my teammates on occasions. You actually need to ask intelligent questions that show that you have done your research thoroughly about the company. Avoid ----- - asking trivial questions that are already answerable through a simple look on their website or on Google Do -- - ask about their competitors and how they differ from each other and where does the company come in the eco system - ask about founder/manager background to evaluate the team's chance for success base on the experience of founders team - look up info on google news about the company or the industry which the company is in. Think of questions to ask them by referencing the news - do ask for product roadmap and strategy. Ask hypothetical questions like given situation X and Y, how would the company handle it and why, etc. Hope this helps
