Do you know how difficult it is? I had seen some stats but I can't find the article now. I applied to YC myself, but, being a single founder, I don't know what the odds are. Finding cofounders is hard...
Agreed. But 1. Have to give it a go. 2. I think with continued positive feedback and traction. It makes an interesting proposal.
Why not hire someone as a freelancer before accepting her as a co-founder?
Have thought about that - but where can I find good freelancers?
There are some here on Hacker News. The average quality level here is probably better than on a site like eLance.com, for example.
