Ask HN: Does Y Combinator accept sole founders?

2 pointsby emilepetroneabout 14 years ago

I'm launching http://housefed.com (AirBnB for home-cooked meals) soon, and would like to apply as an individual founder. From past stories on HN, it seems like a very, long shot.<p>Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Its not impossible and they don't necessarily reject you because you are a single founder but they view being a single founder as a disadvantage compared to multiple founders because it makes it tougher to survive startup life and getting through the difficulties and up and down cycles.<p>Don't let that stop you from applying though. Maybe you will break the mold.

It's a long shot, but you should apply.<p>Have you thought about finding a secondary founder?
