Hack Your Y Combinator Interview and Get Accepted

Guys, please. Can we please, please stop using the word "hack" for everything?

It actually implies something totally false - these aren't hacks, you should be doing them anyway!

Thanks for posting :) Let me know if you guys have any questions about the YC interview!

Great Article. Though I wonder how much weight is given to your interview/product growth VS. background of the founders(which you can't really hack)

I don't know for sure but my feeling is that showing that you're the type of founders that will make things happen is much more important than having a stellar background.

Many YC founders are very young and don't have a killer background yet they can show that they have what it takes to succeed as entrepreneurs.

I know that we didn't have an amazing background and still made it in :)

Do you think there have been changes to the interview process?
