Any advice for single founders applying for YC Summer '09 round?
suhail: I imagine this is going to be a tough sell, prove you can ship early, fast, and iteratively and that there is no way you'll stop trying (even if you're living on other people's couches).With that, that's a difficult story to tell if you're starting today--you may have to wait for the next round.My personal opinion: Start by yourself, produce 2-3 iterations of your product, your friends will follow when they see the idea start to come to fruition. No way someone is going to deny you an opportunity with that much heart, a solid demo, and some early indicators of success. I think you have to gun it alone before you can really prove to them that you're not easily demoralized.This is coming from someone who used to be a single founder himself, good luck--there's hope =)
