No, I didn't move the goal posts - you did.

I highlight the fact that you did that - which validated my position that 'interviewees won't know specifically what to ask'.

You jumped into the ad hominem.

I have 'hired for startups' in fact several of them, including two Unicorns, and I'm an adviser to others, and I've helped set up a VC fund.

But that's besides the point.

You don't seem to understand the material being presented, but maybe worse, lack the self awareness to recognize that, and possibly have thin skin, all of which are not good attributes for dynamic environments like startups.

You are being deliberately vague with your position and relying on ad hominems.

I'll help you. For each of these questions, do you think it's something employees should be told:

1. How many shares are outstanding and what preferences are included in the cap table? 2. What was the valuation at last raise and when did that round close? 3. What's the burn rate and remaining runway? 4. What are the 6/12/18 month plans for the company? What are the biggest risks and opportunities currently facing the company?

> You don't seem to understand the material being presented

Again with the ad hominem.
