ok so what you saying is that he went through 2 or 3 interviews, afaik, and they havent asked him what business he is in? ("It's a grocery delivery company"), how far developed the MVP is? "It was more developed than the YC partners realized". and that actually a handful of smart people investing millions of dollars in never-ending train of startups couldn't imagine that a grocery delivery company is actually ... delivering groceries??

here, can we press it together? http://www.shopgadgetsandgizmos.com/product/4429/

No, the only interview was after the grocery delivery. Prior to that, none of the YC partners were interested enough to meet with him.
