Honestly, that's a tough combination.

We'd look for evidence that he or she could execute and make stuff happen.

To clarify - are single founder, early stage applications unlikely to be invited to interview at YC?

At what point does 'early stage' no longer matter?

I think the tough combination is 'single founder' and 'non-tech', I have heard him in an interview recommend finding a tech side cofounder in those cases.
