1] Paul Graham - wrote an Essay - How To prepare for the interview

> http://old.ycombinator.com/howtoprepare.html

2] I created a summarized, annoted version of 'Grahams essays key points' aka my TLDR

I would memorize those keypoints

3] I also compiled a list of the 'interview questions' that they are known to ask?

you/your co founders probably want to know the answer to every 1 of those questions, as they pertain to your company, backward, forwards and sideways :)

4] and a few other resources, that may be helpful to you... - like ARTICLE(s) - our interview with ycombinator by ... (* x) - i will add the links to the Reference section the article i posted above

Finally, congratulations, I suspect the bar to YC is pretty high and you've cleared the first hurdle. Now get started practicing those interview ?'s and good luck!
