By looks of it you seem to have misinterpreted my question. I never suggested it to be a bad practice but rather was curious if there’s was something changed to post it again, I certainly would.

Re:Ask HN: Need advice: Single founder and Early stage chances with YC?

My vision "Awethu" a non-profit startup is to use technology to help people from developing nations (such as mine) to solve their real-world problems, which in either case be expensive. i.e, create a "affordable" solution. And, it's been difficult for me to find co-founders who are as motivated as I am AND be seeking less or no profit out of it.

I've already started searching for other co-founder ( friends & Co.). I agree, raising money from the Users as a single co-founder can be a daunting task and even more for a Non-profit startup like mine. Henceforth, YC!

Past the demotivation, PG lists "single founder" as [one of]the top mistake that kills a startup.
"it's a vote of no confidence. It probably means the founder couldn't talk any of his friends into starting the company with him. that's pretty alarming"[1]
"Ideally you want between two and four founders. It would be hard to start with just one. One person would find the moral weight of starting a company hard to bear."[2]
There could be other reasons why a founder chose to be single. In my case, my other friends who were interested in joining as co-founders but, I chose not[include/work them] because they didn't had the same values as I imagine one should. for me, this is more important than their respective abilities.

Ask HN: Need advice: Single founder and Early stage chances with YC?
Earlier today I asked fellow hackers about their take on my app. But, just in the matter of hours my situation changed dramatically.We were a team of two founders, me being the developer and the other cofounder, a marketing/sales girl. Ours/mine is a crowdsourced based non-profit startup in its early stages of development.Due some reasons, she quit on the startup and I am now the only founder...
