Ask YC (YC S14) Applicants: What is the size of your team?

I'm considering applying as a single founder, and I was wondering whether there are any other applicants that are applying as solo-founders?

Also, do you know of people that have successfully applied as single founders (does this requirement change if the founder is filling out the non-profit application)?

    I'm a solo founder. Honestly, I was a little concerned with the question specifically outlining this fact, even though it assured us not to worry.

    I'd prefer not to be a solo founder, I just haven't found anybody suitable yet. I'm hoping that changes in the future.

    Probably the most notable answer to your second question of successful single founder applications is Drew Houston with Dropbox.
