🐠 need your help - have a conversation with a CEO of a series A funded startup (50-100 employee). He reached out on LinkedIn to talk about a potential role. I have no insights into the role yet. From the broader company perspective, what kind of questions should I ask? First time talking to a startup CEO, so want to be asking relevant questions. Vision? Roadmap? Valuation?! Not sure. Thanks in advance.

Ask him what kind of role he’s looking to fill and what made him reach out to you specifically in the first place? Try to size up how you can add value and leverage that in your pitch to why you would be an asset to his organization.
