The smaller the company, the more unlikely is the situation compared to a "standard" corporate setting. I have met really smart founders, people who could win over VCs and with excellent technology. This doesn't mean they know how to interview someone or how to manage staff.
Maybe this dude was busy, nervous or inexperienced with interviews.

You are doing yourself way more harm than good with this level of stress. You are going to have to deal with much more ambiguous and stressful situations on a job, so I recommend working on this and trying to work through those anxieties in a good way. Two things:

1) a company doesn’t want to waste their time on a candidate that they thought lied - why waste your time?

2) usually people don’t tell you they want to interview you again and that the interviewers liked you if that isn’t true
