Not sure why I didn't think of asking here earlier, but I have 4 phone screens over the next few days for reach-positions, meaning those that I could get if the stars aligned correctly, but aren't guaranteed. How do I maximise my chances of getting them?

Specifically, when the interviewer asks, "do you have any questions for me", should I ask about funding situations, law firms, etc. -- questions the BP career centre at my school told me are good to ask.

These are for VP of Engineering or CTO roles at startups in California and have been arranged through Angellist. I'm living in Denmark.
