During a break go to the font desk and tell the receptionist, "I'm here today for an interview today, can I please ask to see someone from HR". Wait for the HR rep. "Hey, I spoke with the first couple interviewers and it seems like it won't

Why not? Does running a lemonade stand make me startup? What exactly are you considering a startup? Businesses that have taken VC money? Does that mean none of the bootstrapped business are startups?
