I got into YC S26 as a solo founder!
The last 15 months looked something like this:
> Started an API company from scratch
> Realized building infrastructure is insanely hard
> Grew slowly for months
> Then all at once
> Reached 210 paying customers
> Landed 10 unicorns + 70 VC-backed startups
> Started telling customers "not yet" because I couldn't afford to build everything they wanted
> Wait, I actually need funding
> Applied to YC
> Rejected
> Doubled revenue
> Applied again
Today I'm in.
To all my customers who trusted me when I was just some random dude from the internet, thank you.
