What this teaches
A short, sharp diligence-reversal tactic: ask every prospective investor 'what's a risk you're more comfortable with than the average VC?' and use the answer to test fit and conviction.
Why it matters
One concrete question that reveals whether an investor actually understands and accepts your specific risk profile.
Key lessons
- Diligence your investors' risk appetite explicitly
- An investor who can't articulate your risks hasn't underwritten them, and will panic later
