Together with Nic Brisbourne of The Equity Kicker / DFJ Esprit, I am writing a series of 50 questions you should ask when raising venture capital. We expect the series to run for a year, after which we will collate the answers into a book. We view this as a collaboration, so please comment to help make this series even more useful. This is #40 in the series.

In the latest 50 questions post, Nic explains when, why and how investors introduce new CEOs to the teams with whom they work.
