great post. i have a YC2011 application ready to go, and, as a single founder, have been wondering if I should apply. Yes, I know, it’s next week. I too expect to be rejected but think it is worth the shot. And, to follow up on the end of the post, personally, YC isn’t about the money or the mentorship. It’s all about who you know. All I know is that I have the next big idea, execution is 100% of being a business and I think YC offers a lot of those resources that you can’t find in a lot of other places.

I found the application process itself to be quite enlightening since they asked many questions I just hadn't asked myself since I was too busy focusing on building something. Like you I know my chances are diminished as a single founder but I'd rather know if I can make the cut or not instead of always wondering what could have been.
appreciate it brother. i submitted it so we'll see. I'm learning how to code so either way, i'm building it! The World Is Mine!
