The best way to answer this question is to ask the people (a) whose circumstances were like yours and (b) who know about YC from personal experience.
Off the top of my head the closest match in your case might be Oliver Cameron of Everyme:

- dgunn 15y agoAgreed. It's surprising how nice the YC alums are actually. I've reached out to a few and very rarely have I not gotten the answer I desired. And I've never been flatly ignored. Be direct with your question though. The hustle that likely made them YC alums necessarily means they're probably super busy. I have been politely turned away. :)
- mrkmcknz 15y agoI reached out to Oliver and he got back with the perfect response really. What is the worse case scenario if I were to be accepted: A shed load of investment on the best possible terms you could find and one of the strongest networks around. A good point made was to remain open to finding a co founder, after all things will get done much faster. Thanks for the connection pg.
