Hi three years ago I dropped out of college in order to build my own destiny, after unsuccessfully applying multiple times to YC I feel I'm missing a strong team.

My current users absolutely love my product (just came back from a week of user interviews at their office), my company is default alive for the foreseeable future but I'm running solo.

I feel overwhelmed. I have a couple of customers waiting to start using our product because I don't know if I will be able to provide the great customer support my current customers have.

I want to find people to join me but it is pretty hard when my country startup ecosystem is still immature.

I changed my product until user loved it and now I feel stuck.

Congrats on making something people love - that is a great start and a huge deal.

I agree that finding someone to join you is important. This decision should not be taken lightly. Michael Seibel has great advice here on how to find a cofounder here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7tDaFr5EYA

Do you really need the YC? Do you want them just as an investment partner or because of connections?

I've looked at Oko and seems great, I'd just change the icon (reminds too much of MS Outlook/Office suite), change the grey to another color and why do you have a schedule demo instead of a real demo?

Thank you for the feedback and kind words.

I think YC can be invaluable to any company in many different aspects. For me it would be an amazing opportunity to create a great team.
