I'm wondering what they said about user acquisition? for certain startups, which build infrastructures or hardware products, they need some initial capital to show traction. It's hard for them to have a big user base at early stage. What should they do to pass the interview?

It not said explicitly, but I believe, for us, long term growth means users change their behavior. We need them to stop using Craigslist. We have the same challenge as early AirBnB.
