No-fluff learnings on the Z Fellows interview

2 alliewithane 0 8/17/2025, 7:20:41 PM
A bunch of friends and I (aprox. 20 people) gotten to the interview and the stage after it. We didn't get in just yet but we're currently in a Slack channel hanging around, working in huddles and getting to know each other. (email me if you wanna join)

Nonetheless, these are some key tips we believe might be helpful:

1. Bring all your founders on the call. They want to see the chemistry. Analogy: you are currently dating them, are you ready to get married (joining z-fellows)?

2. Focus on yourself during the interview. Take a minute to repeat some stuff mentioned in the application for authenticity but also talk about new stuff you've worked on that are non-startup related.

3. What is the broad picture? What happens if the product flops? Talk about times when something you have worked on flopped and how you mitigated that.

If there's anything you found helpful feel free to comment it down below.
