When we interviewed for the current cohort, we were asked to show up early for the interview, so I travelled to Mountain View each of the 6 interview days to talk to other startups. As a canuck in the valley for the first time, it was an eye-opening experience.
It's really interesting to hear what everyone is working on, and it's a rare look at the YC investment thesis. Also interesting to see what these companies have gone on to achieve, YC or not. I was most inspired by the stories of everyone who had travelled from foreign countries to pitch.
