It will be difficult to be accepted in YC without a proper co-founder, one that you know for longer than 1 month.

  Agreed. But 1. Have to give it a go. 2. I think with continued positive feedback and traction. It makes an interesting proposal.

    Why not hire someone as a freelancer before accepting her as a co-founder?
    • niccolop 16y ago
      Have thought about that - but where can I find good freelancers?

        There are some here on Hacker News. The average quality level here is probably better than on a site like eLance.com, for example.

  Do you know how difficult it is? I had seen some stats but I can't find the article now. I applied to YC myself, but, being a single founder, I don't know what the odds are. Finding cofounders is hard...
