Behind the Scenes: Rohit Mittal's Y Combinator Interview Experience
The video recounts Rohit Mittal's experience with not one, but two interviews at Y Combinator (YC), involving seven to eight people, including notable figures like Paul Buchheit, the creator of Gmail, and Jessica Livingston, a co-founder of YC. The interviews were rapid-fire, 10-minute sessions to assess the founders' tenacity, execution mindset, and in-depth understanding of their startup. Preparation involved anticipating and rehearsing succinct answers to potential questions, aiming to convey information efficiently without prompting further queries. The script highlights the selective nature of YC, likening its acceptance rate to being more competitive than Harvard, and underscores the importance of demonstrating both a comprehensive grasp of one's business and the potential to scale significantly, as exemplified by a spontaneous fact-check on LendingClub's valuation during the interview.
