I'm considering applying for an unlaunched e-commerce startup. Is it worth applying as a solo (technical) founder, with all of what's been built so far done by a web development firm paid for by me?

I doubt I can get a co founder before the deadline.

Also, I see more questions than in this doc:

"Is this application in response to a YC RFS?

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC? (List as City A, Country A / City B, Country B.)

Who are your competitors, and who might become competitors? Who do you fear most?"

Any tips on whether I should include a comprehensive list of 15 competitors, or focus on the big ones and the one I'm worried about?
