Earlier today I asked fellow hackers about their take on my app. But, just in the matter of hours my situation changed dramatically.

We were a team of two founders, me being the developer and the other cofounder, a marketing/sales girl. Ours/mine is a crowdsourced based non-profit startup in its early stages of development.

Due some reasons, she quit on the startup and I am now the only founder left in the company, I'm really determined to go ahead and apply for YC. I have been working relentlessly to get to a shape.

I was wondering if this happened to anyone before and if yes- how did you manage to compensate the loss(may be for a good reason).

PS: For the curious, here is my original ask hn: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9267658

# Background I know there's less than 2 days before I could submit my YC-App but, I want to reach as many users as I can. I got to know about YC-deadline just few days ago, in fact about YC itself! I (We) had less than 3 days to prepare our application. Therefore, in the limited time we have, I would like to request any/all previous YC-Alum from HN who has anytime to spare for reviewing our app.

# What it about Awethu - a Crowdsourced solution to facilitate and improve transportation infrastructure in 3rd world / developing countries.

# Current status We are still in the early stage of development, i.e., Only mockups/prototype is ready. The "proof-of-concept" is still in its early stages.

Question is: Does this have a major impact on our app ? If it does - How can we improve our odds AND Have you heard of any YC-Alum at the same stage at the time of application and got in?
