Pretty new to “evaluating” start ups and I’d like to know/learn what to look out for.

  • Look at how much funds they raised (usually 50 mi-500mi). What series are they in (ABCDE), lookup on their relevant competitors, lookup on their employee count, lookup on their founders background (probably most important), lookup on their management background.

      Aside from all the rest, if the funds raised are below 50-500 mi does that mean it’s not looking very good? And the further from series A the better?

    In seriousness, there’s a few metrics correlated with startup success — older founders and repeat founders. You can Google what these metrics are. Otherwise cross your fingers and pray.
