You should know that the sweet spot for YC founders is a team with at least one person capable of building the product, and that the competition includes folks who once had a very good idea but, as of the time of application or their interview, possess a working prototype of the idea which they have begun to expose to market feedback. In many cases, they will already have revenue, sometimes meaningful revenue.<p>If you want to get into YC, I would advise taking whatever steps are presently possible to create the business, and then demonstrating that you&#x27;re making forward progress when you apply. Happily, this is exactly what you&#x27;d try to do if you weren&#x27;t trying to get into YC, so it shouldn&#x27;t be a major imposition.
