- akbar501 13y agoGreat persistence.
- khc 13y agowhen you reapplied with the same startup, how much did you tweak the idea or was it mostly just a change of interview strategy? In other words, why did you reapply thinking that you will have have a better chance to get in than last time?
- zmitri 13y agoGood Karma was evolving from idea to actual product with people involved. We still had full time jobs while working on this and never got an interview. Backspaces went from 1,000 users (first application) to 60,000 users in the 6 months since we'd first applied. We worked on this full time and we got an interview the second time. We re-applied along the way because we had progressed and gotten better at everything each time. We never even got an interview until 5th or 6th time. Note: If you somehow get face time with one of the partners and you impress them, you will likely get an interview. We made that happen and then got an interview.
