How do VC and Growth Equity Analysts Analyze a Potential Investment?

I am talking specifically about Series A onwards. How do VC/GE guys think of investing in a business when you have a lack of public comparables, revenues are still very small, and there are a lot of questions about which companies technology will win the day?

Want to really understand the thought process that goes into making an investment
