It makes a big difference. I interviewed with a Y-Combinator funded startup, and having felt that the interview went really well I awaited the plan for moving forward. Days turned into weeks turned into months and eventually I resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't going to get a call. It was upsetting not only because I really wanted the job but because I spent those weeks hoping just to hear anything at all, whether it was good or bad, so I could move forward or move on. Interestingly enough, 6 months later the position is still listed as open.
