What was your exact quote? Where does the 5 mins come in?


By the time you're at your YC interview, you already know all of the terms of the deal except for one variable: the percentage of the company taken by YC. So if you're accepted, PG calls and gives you this one piece of missing info, and you and your cofounders get 5 minutes to decide whether it's acceptable.




Consider applying for YC's Fall 2026 batch! Applications are open till July 27.
