Interesting no mention of the percentage of solo founders. From reports they heavily weigh against them.

- nfw2 4y agoJared Friedman has recently said each batch generally has over 10% solo founders. So, it would be considered a meaningful concern, but certainly not a deal-breaker, especially if the founder is technical. https://www.ycombinator.com/library/7P-does-yc-fund-solo-founders https://www.ycombinator.com/library/7P-does-yc-fund-solo-fou...
- tashiicorp 4y agoSeeing some speculation on here I did a breakdown of founder count for the S22 batch: Founder count distribution 1 founder - 16 companies - 7% 2 founders - 154 companies - 67.5% 3 founders - 48 companies - 21% 4 founders - 7 companies - 3% 5 founders - 2 companies - 1% 6 founders - 1 company - 0.5% I'm off by one (228 data points when website lists 227 companies in the batch) but should be "back of a napkin" accurate. Interestingly there are fewer companies with 4+ founders than total solo founders.
