RELATIONSHIP CHECK-INS Set a time, once a week, to come together and talk about your relationship. It doesn’t have to be big and heavy. This kind of maintenance decreases the chances that it will get big and heavy, like an elephant in the room. Set a regular day and time to sit down together. Ask each other and yourself three questions: What is working well in our relationship? What could we be doing better? What is one theme we can focus on this week? Examples: Joy, Connection, Empathy, Support, Adventure, Humor.

One thing that many founders worry about but which isn’t usually a warning sign is if a VC has fired CEOs or founders in the past. Do your research—look at their track record. There are some well-known firms who are so focused on the company that they cut off founders’ heads without giving them a second chance, but most VCs are generally hesitant to remove founders. Sometimes too hesitant. And those who do so infrequently will have a very good reason.
And talk to the people who are closest to the customer, like marketing and support—find teams who communicate with customers day in and day out and hear their feedback directly.
