How do you evaluate a startup company when you are applying for a job?

from the self-post dept.

I'm considering joining a Series A startup, and I want to do a comprehensive due diligence before making the leap. What key factors should I dig into during my evaluation?

Funding/Financials, Product/Market Fit, Team Dynamics, Tech, Growth Potential

Is there anything else I'm missing? Where can I do further research on the company?

What is the overall company strategy? Is it logical or purely aspirational? How do they think they’re going to get from where they are today to the future goal?

What’s the runway versus the burn rate? Who are the founders and who are the investors?
