As an entrepreneur looking for professional investors, one of the quickest ways to lose credibility and get rejected is to start with a ridiculously high pre-money valuation.

One of my favorite interview questions is “what is next for you after this role?” Or put another way “what is next after next?” I added it to my list of go-to questions for almost every role as it gives me insight and information into a candidate beyond anything else I have asked before.
