I would be interested to know with the odds already stacked against single founders, what the likelihood of a non-technical single founder getting accepted is. I can't imagine it is high. Has there ever been one in YC?



There was one in the batch that just ended - Hamilton Chan, Paperlinks: http://mashable.com/author/hamilton-chan/


Was it one of the publicly-launched companies?


Yes, one, if I remember correctly... but he had considerable experience running companies previously in a related space. I have to think that is super rare, though.




Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
