>In the past 3 years, I’ve run over 300 interviews. On average, I meet someone new every 3-4 days to understand if they’re the right fit for an early-stage startup.
I especially like capping interviews with an open-ended question that really lets great candidates shine. One of my favorite now-retired questions is, in Thielian fashion: “What’s something you’ve learned that you believe gives you an edge - something that you’re almost surprised more people don’t know about?”
