Questions to Ask Founders Before Joining a Startup

I've found asking about runway during the interview process turns off some hiring managers. Fortunately, the kind of employer that would hold that against you isn't one you'd want to work for anyway.

Ditto actually. Seems like some don't like employees that know too much. They see it as an impediment, they'd rather have little sheeps drinking the coolaid...

Or they just blatantly lie. I had a founder triple their runway when I asked... three months later we ran out of runway and everyone was like, "what happened, why were you lying about this?" Turns out founder was factoring in POTENTIAL runway in their head that they thought would happen but never came through.
