The 25 next-stage interviews are the only part that sounds even slightly unrealistic to me. The phone interviews are 30-60 minutes each, so 40 of them is no problem (20-40 hours of work).
The next-stage interviews are going to vary from 1-2 hours to a full day, so I assume he didn't do many full-day interviews in that 10-11 days, or probably 7-8 workdays.
But startups are often far more willing to do remote interviews, interviews at weird times, interviews on weekends... It would be a packed 1.5 weeks, though.
