How to Prepare for Founder Interviews

The Problem

Scripted answers fall apart under follow-up questions

You can memorize perfect responses to expected questions. But the moment someone asks 'why?' or 'can you elaborate?', the script breaks down.

Real interviews don't follow your outline. They follow the natural flow of conversation—which means unpredictability.

Practicing with static questions doesn't prepare you for the moment when you have to think and respond in real-time.

Why Current Solutions Fail

The limitations of solo recording tools

Video editors can't add conversational structure

Post-production tools can trim rambling but can't retroactively create the back-and-forth rhythm of a real conversation.

AI transcription doesn't improve delivery

Getting a transcript of your monologue just documents the problem—it doesn't solve the absence of conversational dynamics.

Scheduling software doesn't solve availability

Making it easier to book guests doesn't change the fact that you're dependent on someone else's calendar.

Understanding the Solution

The missing mechanism: Conversation creates clarity

Conversation isn't just about exchanging words—it's a cognitive feedback loop. When someone asks a follow-up question, your brain refines the idea in real-time.

This is why interviews feel more natural than monologues. The other person's questions give your thoughts shape and direction.

Without this mechanism, you're left guessing what's interesting, what needs more detail, and when to move on.

How Olyetta Works

How Olyetta solves forced solo creation

The problem isn't that you can't talk. It's that talking to nobody breaks your natural delivery.

Olyetta restores the conversational mechanism: someone who listens, questions, and responds. This is what your brain needs to speak naturally.

It's not about automation. It's about having a conversation partner when you need one.

Real-time conversational adaptation

The AI adjusts its questions based on what you say, creating organic flow rather than scripted sequences.

Multiple interview modes

Choose from friendly conversation, challenging drill mode, or structured agenda format depending on your goals.

Post-recording insights

Get transcripts, content hooks, and structural analysis to refine your delivery for next time.
