YC Prep by Anima — Practice your story, get ready to a 10 minute VC interview

“ Hi Hunters, I’m the co-founder & CEO of Anima (AnimaApp.com), YC S18 👋

YC batch is coming, and many companies are preparing for the famous 10-minutes blitz interview.

Back in 2018, when our YC interview was scheduled, we built an app to help us prepare for it. Having many companies ask us for a simulated interview, we decided to rebuild the app using Anima and share it ❤️

So how do you get into YC?

• It all starts with a strong team and a compelling story.

What’s important for a team:

• Founders who believe in the cause and are willing to fight for it.
• Ideally, the team should have all the needed skills to execute with zero dependencies.
• Bonus — unique knowledge, skills, or connections to help market penetration.

What makes a compelling story:

• A real problem — Preferably one you’re living and experiencing, or at least very close to that.
• A unique solution — Your secret sauce, what makes you different from other players.
• Market size — If your potential market is smaller than $2B/year, it’s too small. If your potential market is larger than $50B/year, it might sound off.
• Timing — If something has changed in the market, and an opportunity has been unveiled, that’s great.
• Impressive signals — Traction, community, successful pilots, or any other success.
