Is it possible to get into YC as a sole founder?
How can I increase my chance as a sole founder? And most importantly why is this bias against sole founders?
Yes, in the sense that they've accepted single founders before.

Find a co-founder ;)

Because they have the data to back up the assertion that multiple founders makes a startup more likely to succeed.
I prefer to be sole founder as I had bad experiences from previous gigs.
Is there any other attribute (like strong IP and customer demand) that can compensate for not having a co-founder? What else?
But obviously single founders do get into YC because they're strong in other areas.
