Practice for the YC interview

I'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)

Practice for the YC interview launched on April 24, 2024 with 20 votes, #856 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
