Founders

Applied to YC today with https://www.getinboxzero.com. Doubt I get in as a solo founder. But let’s see.

Building getinboxzero.com and sharemint.xyz.

I also run a YouTube channel, "Learn from Open Source": youtube.com/elie2222

Spoken to a fair number of people and seen top founders get rejected for being solo.

It’s also the feedback they give you. I realise this isn’t the only thing that matters. But personally feel like it put my odds of passing previous interview from 50% to maybe 10%.

Almost certain it’s the single biggest metric that impacts me.

Solo founder isn't the biggest deal, getting into YC is basically these three questions:

1. What problem are solving for your customers and how is it uniquely serving them?
2. Why are you the person to build this business?
3. How much progress have you made in what period of time?

they/them, candlemaker at 🕯️humankind🕯️, seemore.tv/humankind, hosting /samantha and /humankind

Thanks! Only thing that will help me is cofounder I think 😅

And not sure even that would be enough this time around

Good luck! Lmk if you need any help with interview prep :)

First Q: why should I use your service for more than 1 month every year?

Also, why open-source it right from the start and then ask for VC money? I don’t get the rationale.
