Now that the world has opened up, would YC ever get back to doing in-person interviews; say for startups based in the US?
Virtual communications are convenient, however I always dislike them because one doesn't get to experience someone's emotions, see their energy & passion in their eyes. I believe there is something about looking at a person in the eye (in-person), that can make one see their real truth.
I also wonder; had AirBnB founders done a virtual interview, would YC have given them a chance; considering that PG said it's their energy, enthusiasm, and cereal box that made them take a chance on them?
