It's not a 'special' kind of interview in the type of questions or the general format. I'd say it's special in the little amount of time you have and how you get cut off mid-sentence. I've also never pitched to Paul Buchheit before which made it special. |

10 minutes feels like 7-8 because of the adrenaline/nervousness. You don't usually get to finish your answers because they cut you off. They're straight to the point and cut through all the fluff (my suggestion is to have a 15 second answer and a longer answer for all questions if you want to get your points across). They're usually in "control", but you have to be strategic to lead things back to your "good side"
I think the article is really accurate on the YC process. Thanks for sharing.
