Get YC Ready
I built this while preparing for startup interviews because I noticed I rambled under pressure. So I made a tool that runs a short, live YC-style voice interview with interruptions, follow-up questions, and post-call feedback. It started as an internal project. I kept improving it because it helped me tighten how I explain the problem, market, and metrics. Now I’m sharing it to get honest feedback from other founders. I’d especially like feedback on: 1) whether the interview pressure feels realistic 2) what question types are missing 3) what would make the feedback more useful There’s a…

What it does
Get grilled by AI YC-style partners in live 10-minute sessions. Train clarity, confidence, and numbers before the real interview. - I built this as an internal tool for my own startup interview prep. - I wanted to pressure-test whether I could explain my startup clearly in short, concise answers. - The core goal was to practice articulating key facts and metrics without rambling.
Practice realistic 10-minute YC-style product interviews with AI. Get feedback, build confidence, and improve your chances of getting into Y Combinator.
Practice the 10-minute product interview with an AI that asks like YC partners do. Get honest feedback, fix the weak spots, and walk in ready. The YC interview is short, fast, and unforgiving. Partners cut you off, push on weak spots, and expect crisp answers in seconds. Reading advice online won't prepare you for that pressure. Ten minutes. Rapid questions. You either sound sharp or you don't. Friends are too nice. You never hear the answer that actually costs you. Get rejected once and the cycle closes. Preparation is everything. Get YC Ready runs you through the 10-minute product interview, the same one YC uses during the application phase. Practice as many times as you want. Get…from getycready.com

Practice for the YC interview2024 · mock-yc.vercel.app · ▲20I've been blown away by speech-to-speech LLMs lately and was looking for a fun little website to build. Enter mock YC interviews. When I first applied to YC, I used iPG (https://jamescun.github.io/iPG/) to practice and get comfortable with the YC-style interview. Spoiler: I ended up getting in. This took me a few hours to go from scratch to production. Would highly suggest playing around with some of the latest products (this uses Vapi.ai/elevenlabs.io)

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
