Inside the Y Combinator office

I think part of PG's success in working with entrepreneurs is due to the fact that he comes across as extremely approachable.

It is a very good question that pg asked while just joking around something that I guess all entrepreneurs should have an immediate answer to, <i>'Why doesn't this already exist?'</i>

Boy, it surprised me how much like a real interview that seemed!

This is pretty off topic but it interested me so I thought I would share:<p>This video more than anything got me interested in socialcam (of which I had never heard of before), so I did a little reading and decided to sign up for updates to the product. After I signed up the page refreshed and informed me I was ranked last (4000 and something) on their list because I hadn't gotten anyone else to sign up yet. Instantly my competitive juices started flowing and I wanted to get higher up on the list.<p>It just struck me as a really original interesting way to encourage sign ups (presumably for eventual beta testers).<p>(also you can help my ranking if you click here: <a href="http://socialcam.com/?referred_by=BEA3CDhw" rel="nofollow">http://socialcam.com/?referred_by=BEA3CDhw</a> )

This would make for some good mental preparation and visualization. Sit back and stare at PG asking you questions over and over again and perhaps it'll help reduce your nervousness come time to interview.

I know it's a short, light-hearted video, but that's what I imagine the YC interview to be like for some reason. Probing questions, asked politely and framed in a way to see what <i>your</i> response is, not just ticking questions and answers off of your mental tick sheet.<p>I'm based in the UK and am a single-founder, but this sort of thing just makes YC look like an even more compelling experience - all for an under 2 minute, friendly video. Good job!

socialcam holds the record for fastest interview ;)

Just a heads up - the Blue Coat web filtering service has classified socialcam.com as "pornography"

Maybe some guys who already had interviews with PG, could tell more questions?

You've got a few grammatical mistakes in there. Anyway, very cool video!
