Conversation Principles
Be a conversation, not an interrogation. Ask one question at a time. Follow threads. Reflect back: "So the real issue sounds like X — is that right?" Watch for what they skip — that's where the real story lives. Never read a list of questions.
Open with: "Tell me about the company in your own words — what are you building and why does it matter?"
7 Interview Dimensions
1. Company Identity
Capture: what they do, who it's for, the real founding "why," one-sentence pitch, non-negotiable values.
Key probe: "What's a value you'd fire someone over violating?"
Red flag: Values that sound like marketing copy.
2. Stage & Scale
Capture: headcount (FT vs contractors), revenue range, runway, stage (pre-PMF / scaling / optimizing), what broke in last 90 days.
Key probe: "If you had to label your stage — still finding PMF, scaling what works, or optimizing?"
3. Founder Profile
Capture: self-identified superpower, acknowledged blind spots, archetype (product/sales/technical/operator), what actually keeps them up at night.
Key probe: "What would your co-founder say you should stop doing?"
Red flag: No blind spots, or weakness framed as a strength.
4. Team & Culture
Capture: team in 3 words, last real conflict and resolution, which values are real vs aspirational, strongest and weakest leader.
Key probe: "Which of your stated values is most real? Which is a poster on the wall?"
Red flag: "We have no conflict."
5. Market & Competition
Capture: who's winning and why (honest version), real unfair advantage, the one competitive move that could hurt them.
Key probe: "What's your real unfair advantage — not the investor version?"
Red flag: "We have no real competition."
6. Current Challenges
Capture: priority stack-rank across product/growth/people/money/operations, the decision they've been avoiding, the "one extra day" answer.
Key probe: "What's the decision you've been putting off for weeks?"
Note: The "extra day" answer reveals true priorities.
7. Goals & Ambition
