Indirect answer but one way to determine what those questions will be is to show multiple deals (over time) to you investors. Obviously this advice doesn't help on deal #1 (or even deals 2, 3, etc.). Regardless, after showing multiple deals to the various groups with whom we work, I now have a better feel for what questions will be asked, what are important business characteristics, etc.
