1/ The question I'm struggling with the most for my @ycombinator app is, "why are you a solo founder?"
The honest answer is timing.
I won't and don't want to be one, but the opportunity came up fast, and not making a horrible very long-term mistake means recruitment isn't.

6/ More than that, there's a lot of precarity going around now. Say I know a great Google engineer that I'd ask to be a cofounder — now seems like precisely the moment where they'd say, "no thank you," even if they would have said, "YES PLEASE!" six months ago.

7/ If I don't get into YC, I know the solo issue is going to be what sinks me. Teams are critical, and formation/recruitment may be much more difficult now than it usually is. So I'd like to hear strategies people know of, especially if they used them in "war time" before.

P.S. To the people who have reached out to me and those I've reached out to recently, this in no way discounts our ongoing conversations.
