10 minute interviews
YC interviews act as a negotiation where the initial impression significantly influences the perception of an idea's value. Founders often leave the interview realizing their ideas are more valuable than initially thought, highlighting the effectiveness of a brief interaction. The first 10 minutes serve as a practical introduction to collaboration, demonstrating the dynamics of working together. Research suggests that the opportunity for changing one's mind diminishes after the first few minutes; thus, the value derived from the first two minutes is substantial. The time spent in interviews could potentially be reduced from 10 minutes to seven without losing effectiveness, showcasing the minimal required interaction for meaningful assessment.
