Aspiring YC founder – Can you get into YC without a technical cofounder?

[Yogender78]

Hello all, I wanted to get your opinion on how likely is it to get into YC without a technical cofounder if one has a competent tech team in place?

We've a good tech team consisting of my college juniors, friends (working full time but have other future plans) and hired advisors (who execute as well). We've built a consumer product which currently has 500 users with 350 MAUs and 160 DAUs.

We're 2 cofounders as of now, where in I can code decently given the situation (can figure out things and make them work).

Should we apply to YC? Or should I wait until I get a tech cofounder with us in the journey.

Why not continue to bootstrap a business that generates profits? Optimizing for VC funding seems like the wrong direction.

We need capital to grow fast and build the product. We're pre-revenue
