(Venture Capital) Why you think a start-up is worth investing?

Hi guys, aspiring to break into the VC space. Been to a couple of VC networking, and most of the senior ranks there often ask me to name drop some start ups and why I think they are worth investing. While I know the fundamentals (eg. scalability in the next 5 years, how defensible is the concept, founder's alignment of interests/personality etc). Would love to get inputs on some of the more seasoned minds here!
