it is 100% percent certain that they will not accept you as a single founder

Two of the startups in the current batch were run by single founders when we accepted them. Neither was a startup legend or had any traction.

The odds of being accepted are much greater (roughly 4x) with a cofounder, but it's not impossible to get funded as a single founder.




Did they got co-founders? How does this work out?


This is an interesting question that I would love to see some answers to. Locating a co-founder at a later time doesn't seem to be a bad idea.


I also be it would be much easier to find a cofounder if you've already secured YC-status.


Thankyou for the clarification.
