I'm planning on applying for the Summer 2012 round as a single founder, plus a friend who helps me with marketing (whom I had a prior agreement with). After reading the essay on the main page, it left me a little unsure about the chances of getting in whilst applying solo.

Although after reading this post, I feel more sure of myself about the issue. Mainly because he didn't mention anything about the number of founders per startup, but purely the quality.

Glad this was posted.



I believe DropBox was a single founder applicant


YC funds a number of single-founder efforts. I know Notifo and Greplin made it to demo day as one-man shows.
