The application I used to get into YC as a solo founder and no revenue, AMA

@james_conor Question on YC’s don’t do that:

Late 30s, wife and kids.

Where did you hear about this?

Did you see other founders who are in their 30s with spouse and kids?

@vanillachaiandcoke I was 39 when I got into YC, had been married for 11 years, and had 3 children (ranging from a 9yo to an infant). I knew plenty of other YC folks who were married and/or had children.

@james_conor Okay, wow, I am in my thirties and I have 3 kids too, and I am hoping to apply to YC with a good idea soon. Still searching for that idea tho to make sure its not a tar pit idea .
