Seeing a lot of “Head of Legal” roles on LinkedIn, mostly at AI startups. They only require 5-12 YOE and want this person focused on nearly everything. I have a lot of skepticism about these roles and companies. What questions should you ask if you’re interviewing?

If you find a real one try asking chat GPT what questions to ask a startup. Basically you want to understand who the current team is, have they actuallly done something real before, who are the investors, have they backed a real startup before, what is the intended compensation format (eg, liquidity events, stock valuation, etc), what is their cash position if they don’t have any new funding for 18 months
