šŸ‘ØšŸ¾ā€šŸš€ Thrilled to be back with YC Interview Simulator 2.0 - a major upgrade shaped by hundreds of founder conversations and feedback of YC founders. šŸš€ What's new? We rebuilt the entire experience: - Choose your YC partner personality (each with their unique style) - Timed 10-minute sessions (just like the real deal!) - Detailed evaluation cards after each session - Track your progress across different topics - Completely revamped UI that feels natural and intuitive šŸ¤– The core is still what you loved: Dynamic conversations that adapt to your answers, catch vague claims, and push for specifics. But now you can actually see your improvement over time, save your best responses, and practice with different YC partners. šŸŽ Launch Deal: - Start with 3 FREE sessions - Get 50% off any package with code "PRODUCTHUNT" - All packages include the full feature set No need to wonder anymore how you'd do in an Interview! šŸ“ˆ Perfect your pitch, strengthen your narrative, and walk into that YC interview knowing you've practiced with the best simulator out there. šŸ”œ Coming soon: This simulator is just the beginning of Mentara - your comprehensive founder support system. We're building THE coaching, training, and mentoring ecosystem we wish existed when we started our first companies. šŸŽ® Get the unfair advantage: Start practicing now and join hundreds of founders elevating their pitch game. Cut through the fluff, sharpen your metrics, and truly understand your business. No buzzwords allowed - just clear, compelling answers that stand up to scrutiny.

Congrats on the launch! šŸš€ I can definitely see the potential of using AI to emulate these interviews. However, I’m curious, how can I trust that the system emulates YC partners with a high level of quality? Have you trained the AI on examples of real interviews or other publicly available information?
Johannes Danielmeyer
@pablo_velez I'd say try it out and tell me if you have been challenged harder before. Looking forward to your feedback!
Fredric Cliver
Interesting idea and the detailed report looks like you have cared about a lot of aspects of applying YC!
Johannes Danielmeyer
@fredriccliver We tried to use YC evaluation metrics as general benchmarks. They are well applicable to general context as well.
