Technology start up is recruiting me and I’d like to draw on other people‘s wisdom ....
how would you evaluate a start-up (series c) to try to make a determination if it was worth the bet or not? Strong VC investors (ie sequoia) , what are the other key factors to consider?

Can't speak for the company though. Think like a VC and ask yourself this: "if I had money to invest, would I be comfortable investing it in that startup?" Answer to that should be "it depends". "On what does it depend?" The questions you must ask the founder(s) will come from that answer. If you'd be comfortable investing money in it, then go for it.
