Hedge Fund Founder Q&A

As the title suggests, I’ve had an opportunity arise where next week I’ll be able to have a Q&A with the founder of a hedge fund who was incredible successful at Blackrock before starting this fund.

If you were in my shoes, what questions would you ask?

For context, I am an undergrad student who is interning at a long only public equity firm.
