FTA: Y Combinator refuses to work with individuals
YC FAQ:
Can a single person apply for funding?
Yes, but the odds of being accepted are much lower. A startup is too much work for one person.
It is my understanding that YC has funded several single-founder startups. I can recall someone listing a few of them recently.
- Roridge 17y agoThanks for posting that, I was going to ask. It feels odd that Y Combinator wouldn't fund single startups. If I wanted to apply for funding would I be better taking on a faux-cofounder? Of course I wouldn't do it, i'd just apply as me, but it feels false.
