best for YC staff to respond, but i would think yes - since YC gives a greater weightage to the quality of the founding team, than specific ideas. but then looking at it from another angle, wouldn't it send a message that you have a problem in staying disciplined and focused which is critically important to build a solid company?

in conclusion, my recommendation is to choose one among the two ideas - and then use the second as reference work to demonstrate your entrepreneurial prowess.

Thanks for this insight. You are right, it might send the wrong message but could also mean we pivot / go for that ideas which generates higher growth [1]. I guess it is a matter of communication.
