10 minute time limit As TFA said, it's not a 10 minute time limit... 10 minutes is the pressure relief valve. But let's say "10 minutes". That, plus some time for questions, is a fairly standard angel round setup. how often do you get interviewed by the likes of Paul Buccheit Pretty much every time you do a serious VC pitch. There are certainly crappy firms, but my experience has been that good firms select an excellent set of folks and you will be grilled once you get through the initial screens. The differentiator of YC is the stage of investment and the shepherding of the teams, not the "very special kind of interview". [And I don't want to discount that YC might do a superlative job with their interviews, but I've not heard anything to suggest that the concerns/questions are atypical.]
