Yes single founder is definitely an issue for them, However I am surprised they didn't even invite you to the interview. Are you currently in US? Could be a reason. Anyway looks like you are doing great, if you ever want to do something together - let me know, I'd love to know more about how many people you guys have and for how long have you been operating etc. I am getting a sense that you either should have a strong founders team or a lot of traction\revenue with an opportunity to become very big. In your case maybe having a team of people also "too late for YC", and you can become successful on your own. I also heard that they don't like video made of pieces, who knows what some alumni might not like when he sees your application. Regards,Alexandr Alex@reviyou.com

Thanks for the feedback. I would love to learn more about your product. Lmk if you want to meet for a coffee in SF downtown. Yeah, I live & work in San Francisco at Rackspace co-working space on Folsom. It's a great place to be. Definitely recommend to everyone. Always glad to share about myself & Appodeal. I've been working on it for almost a year now. There is a team of 12 super strong developers in Russia & Ukraine, that have been working with me for 4 years already. Very loyal. I myself have a strong technical background and remote teams management experience. Business & sales team consists of me, my operating director and a first sales guy we are going to hire next week and we are all here in SF. So we have a pretty strong tech team (because we don't compete for developers with Google/Facebook). And we have business presence in SF as well. Traction is pretty good too. We've launched in January and already have $200K monthly revenues and some net revenues as well. Each day we receive 15-25 new sign ups and retention is close to 100%. We are about to launch aggressive marketing this month.
