Narrative:

We were issued the ruudy 4 RNAV departure out of teterboro. The FMS was set up as well as the mode select panel and then briefed. As part of the setup and brief VNAV was selected in order to capture the intermediate level off at 1500 to cross wentz intersection and then climb to 2000 ft. We then discovered that the passengers were to be 2 hours late the APU was shut down to conserve fuel. When we came back out to set up quickly the VNAV selector was missed. 0nce nearly reaching 1500 I recognized that VNAV was not selected and that the flight director was not going to depict a level off at 1500. I quickly responded with a further throttle reduction and a manual level off. Our indicated altitude reached 1600 with a rapid recovery to 1500. The flight was then continued without further complication. Hyper vigilance is necessary to assure proper setup of automation; especially when things are not happening as expected with passengers; weather; etc.
