A good way to wrap up an interview with a sponsor is by asking them where they see the company headed into the future. While it’s anyone’s guess where any of us will actually be 20 years into the future, this question probes as to what the company sees as its trajectory, growth plans (or not), and plans to raise capital for future endeavors. Don’t expect a sponsor to have this question entirely figured out. Instead, look at their thought process and rationale, even if aspirational, to determine whether they have a mindset similar to your own.
