Are You a Venture Capitalist?

The question I like to give is pretend that I know nothing about technology other than my ability to write large checks. It gives people an opportunity to talk about the things that they are best at and it lets them shine, which is really what I'm after in the context of a job interview. In practice, having them go back and forth with you about different aspects is great. And it's certainly better than asking people to work for free or do horrifying things that speak to terrible things about your culture.
