can I apply to YC alone or do I have to have a team?



You can definitely apply alone, though we recommend having a cofounder.

Startups are very hard, and very emotionally draining, and so it's really helpful to have someone else to share the workload with.

That said, we fund solo founders every batch.

emotional draining is not that much but since you are alone, you do not know 'how' bad a situation is and you kind of overthink it and think its very bad and breakdown. While it really might not be that bad.

^^^ This cannot be communicated emphatically enough... most people have no idea how true and real these challenges are.......
