Aren't you a single founder? What makes you special?

• mlinsey 16y ago
  YC accepts single founders, the bar is just higher. Applying with co-founders and having them disappear is probably worse than applying as a single founder, because co-founders jumping ship is one of the things that often happens shortly before a startup dies. I'm sure YC was acutely aware of this pattern, and that makes the Storenvy story all the more impressive.

    Cool story bro. I was asking Ray what made him an exceptional single founder.

      I'm pretty much good at only one thing: not giving up. The rest just seems to work itself out.
