Easy for me to say in this blog but if it was my money..... 1) A top-notch management team that had done several high-tech startups before (especially the CEO). 2) IP - intellectual property preferabley defenseable and patent-able. 3) An extremely competent HR person that is capable of putting the team together - maybe even a technologist themselves (hard to come by). My thinking is that if you can get a top-notch team together (management and staff) then you have what it takes to get by the 10,000 or so critical decisions that you have to make - not to mention the major course corrections too.
