Accepted To Y Combinator - I will not promote

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for giving clear and honest advice. It really helped me to make my decisions and know what I should focus on first. This community is awesome!

I'm trying to get accepted to Y Combinator and realistically assessing my profile. I'm a non-technical, solo founder, in my early 40s, and balancing startup ambitions with family responsibilities (two kids). I understand the traditional YC profile often skews younger and technical, and solo non-technical founders might face an uphill climb.

I'm specifically interested in hearing from anyone in r/startups who can identify with this background and applied (or was accepted) to YC.

• Were you accepted to YC despite being a non-technical, solo founder, and/or over 40 with family commitments?
• If you applied and were not accepted, do you feel these factors played a role, and what was your experience?
• Any advice for someone in my situation to strengthen my application and approach?
• Does anyone have recommendations for me as a non-technical founder to effectively attract and onboard a technical co-founder in the AI domain?

Thank you for sharing your expertise and experiences.
