MY COMMENT re:interview

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

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

3] I also compiled a list of the 'interview questions' that they are known to ask?
- http://sospep.com/view/steps?id=129
- you/your co founders probably want to know the answer to every 1 of those questions, as they pertain to your company
4] and a few other resources, that may be helpful to you...

> Finally, congratulations and good luck!

Several past interviewee's have writtern about their yc interview experience. Ive compiled a list of articles by those who succeeded at the interview and those who did not succeed. IMO, reading the ones who did not succeed are just as valuable as those that did succeed. Its also important to note that some who succeed in getting into YC, ultimately ended up with a failed startup and some who failed at getting into YC, ended up with a successfull startup.
* interview questions are on the application
