It is not a good idea to apply to YC to find co-founders.

thanks.

Follow up: What would be the fastest, most efficient way for someone highly technically proficient to learn just enough business operations/basic 101 stuff to be functional?

Speaking as a solo technical founder: I think at this early a stage the most important non-tech thing is to understand your users, and optimizing your funnel so as to get as many users as possible in the fastest, most optimal rate.

Your #1 risk is you have a definite product in mind and will try to find the market for it instead the other way around. This is likely to kill your startup. If you avoid this, the operational biz stuff you can pick up along the way.

Feel free to email me (see profile) if you'd like to go in depth re this.

Read a book

Perhaps a bit less snark and bit more "here's some books to get you started"?
