I would just go in with an open mind. I would just ask for more info and evaluate if it's worth entertaining.

This. Consider it exploratory.

That's interesting, what is your current role at Cap One? I think talk about your experience because that's what attracted them to you in the first place.

I’m an APM

Can't hurt to hear what they've got to offer.

I've actually been exploring the VC side so interested in hearing what your experience is like talking to them. I think it's super interesting personally

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree.
