Hi Sahil - saw your post from FRCTNL. My advice from the other side (done a bunch of accelerators & YC, not specifically SPC) is:

- how does this team build conviction? you mention past accomplishments, and seem fairly high conviction. during the interview I'd try to dig into your projects to understand this and how you move

- what do you agree on as cofounders? if you're debating quite a bit but still working together, I'd want to dig in on that

other feedback

- congrats on the prototype / you guys def show the hustle

- SPC is builder-focused, so would want to see an interest into the "science" behind conversations & further work on LLM tuning / engineering. What is the gap btwn current coaching in terms of tech? Are state-of-the-art prompting techniques not good enough? Why not?

- user feedback: how do ppl feel about getting coaching during interviews? how do YOU feel with a tool giving feedback? I'm curious how the advice lands with people, esp knowing it comes from AI. Part of me is skeptical, but part of me is also very excited and eager to see how AI can noticeably improve my quality of life

Best of luck!
