The interview happened in two steps 1. Casual meeting with the co-founders 2. One-time demo MVP project related to their projects I cracked the first steps, then they provide me with a details description of the project with a time limit. I have completed the project and shared it with them. Unfortunately, my project did not impress them. That's why I got rejected. Understanding: 1. They are a new startup growing first 2. They need someone who can build world-class generation tools within a short limited time.
