Which documents did you submit from VC ? And what questions that asked you in interview regarding VC ?

[Yangtze]

My business plan, franchise agreement, letters regarding funding (all legalised) basically they have provided everything. Questions regarding VC? Normally you have a checklist of possible questions as per seen in this forum but dont be too concentrated on these questions. Out of 60++ questions from the checklist, when i had my interview only three of these questions came out. You have to have knowledge of all your papers. Your business plan, the people you have meetings with make sure you know their names even the smallest details. And the figures as well u have to know it by heart. Nobody knows what will come out in the interview so you have to be prepared. You have to be confident that you know everything about your business and all that's written in all your documents submitted.
