How Well Do You Know This Investor?

7

We had an interview with Tim and a few others for an earlier YC batch. The interview itself was ok, but they seemed to get stuck on very specific parts of the business (whether we were working with remote engineers or not) and considered that an automatic pass. They were against outsourcing some of our engineering talent. We had strong in-house talent as well which they seemed to completely overlook or not care about. When they mentioned that in their followup email, I was left wondering how much he (and the panel) were actually listening to what we were saying during the interview.
