We really weren't well prepared for this and should have spent a lot more time practicing with other people to get a better feel of how our pitch/demo would go. Anyways we wrote about the experience here: http://blog.pretheory.com/arch/2007/11/yc_interview_tips_1.php Good write up and I definitely agree it is a two way conversation, not a pitch where you try to just sell.
