how does ur sister look naked? kind of the same type of question.
If you have a job or work for someone, you never ask your friends: YO DUDE, HOW MUCH CASH MONEY DOLLARS DO YOU MAKE DAWG? It’s just a taboo question and not really any of your business. As a founder/entrepreneur, there are questions you just don’t ask unless the conversation clearly leads that way or your friend tells you. It’s usually under the terms of just being Friends . Here are some of the questions I could think of off the top of my head. I’m no saint either btw, I’m sure I’ve been guilty of some of these:
- How many users do you guys have? (Or any other metric that is sensitive)
- What valuation did you raise money at?
- So, are you laying people off during this recession?
- Yo, I swear I’ll sign an NDA if you tell me… (Yeah, fuck you and your NDA).
- Who was your source about that industry detail/tip off?
- Is that VC really a douchebag?
- How much did you sell your company for? (If the company was sold for an undisclosed price)
Those are the questions I can think of right now. I’m sure there are more. Add them in the comments and I’ll add them to the list above with attribution.
