This is so interesting! OOC how did you figure out the weights in the rubric?

The weights are largely personal preference, which is why I left them editable. Each person's weights will differ. For me, funding and customer validation became the two things that were most compelling, so I ranked those with a 1. Along with how well they respect engineering function and my personal interest in the project.

This is really good content. I'm a technical co-founder at a small startup and I would definitely agree with what's here.

Thanks Ben! Anything you'd add / adjust? I'm super curious about how other technical people think about this.
