YC Interview Stories and Advice from 7 Companies in YC W11

Awesome article overall, I'm thankful for the founders taking the time to answer this. I only wish the Like.fm guys had been a bit more concise:<p><i>There are things you do that lets them know you really are committed, all-in, focused, and determined to succeed. Do those things</i><p>What are those things?<p><i>They did ask something that I wasn’t expecting, but I forgot what it was. Might have been why Last.fm users would switch over.</i><p>What was the answer?<p>Overall, as someone who's preparing to go through this in a week, I'm extremely grateful for the article.

Oddly enough that may be a picture of John Resig.

I think it's interesting that 7 out of 9 companies basically said they didn't get any questions that flustered them. I wonder if this indicates:<p>1. so much confidence that you don't get flustered.<p>2. so much prior preparation that you don't get flustered.<p>3. not wanting to seem imperfect in the interview story.<p>I wonder what the actual breakdown between 1, 2, and 3 is...<p><pre><code> 50%/50%/0%? 90%/5%/5%? 5%/90%/5%? 20%/20%/60%? </code></pre> Something else? Or perhaps there are other possibilities that I missed?

I would like to see an <i>Inside YC companies</i> video show. Something similar to ThisWeekIn, but the interviewer actually goes and meet the companies. An inside look.
