My YC Interview Experience (W21)
I interviewed with YC for the W21 batch during the Coronavirus pandemic. I was rejected. The experience was unique and helped me think about our product in a different light. I would highly recommend applying to anyone who is hoping to pursue their goal of entrepreneurship further. If not for the YC brand, apply to see what people, who look at thousands of companies every quarter, think about your product and (if you get the chance) have them dump on you and your product for 10 minutes.

TLDR;
- Get as much user feedback as possible
- Understand your distinct advantages within the competitive landscape
- Determine the pros/cons for your methods of monetization
Overview of Our Product
This may seem like a shameless plug, but I am adding this section here to help explain the critiques of our product. Feel free to skip this section, but you might miss out on a few details that might help describe their objections and an awesome product (okay that was the shameless plug).
