- e1ven 20y agoOne of the important points which they emphasize, which I've also heard from Guy, Seth Godin, and nearly everyone else- The focus of a meeting with a VC isn't to get them to fund you. It's to get them to invite you back to a second meeting. Keep it simple, focus on the hooks, and try to drive the key points home. I imagine that the YC application is a similar process- They're going to read thousands of applications. I expect that the best strategy is to explain what's going on in broad strokes, so that you get the interview. Don't try to sell the entire project in one go. Focus on getting to the interview.
