I would, but I'm not in the hardware space. Having said that, why look for a founder at this stage of the game. You always see YC entrants after the fact "seeking additional cofounder" etc. There was an article flouting around very recently about this very topic, e.g - Applying as a solo founder, finding a founder. The author suggests and I tend to agree, focus on product, not revenue, not finding a founder until a certain set of criteria are met. Choosing the wrong founder can kill and idea faster than you think, at least that was the ultimate argument. Calculating the risk of not getting "in" as a solo founder isn't bad either. I wish I could point you to the article, but best of luck.

I'm so impressed with the level of personal projects on YC right now, I don't remember a time when it's been better. I hope my project meets the standard you're setting.

Hats off, i'm inspired.

Can you talk about what you did, the process from day 0 to now. I'd be interested in what you learned if anything.

This looks so awesome, but I'm not your market. I'll post this on my buildings HOA board.

If you want the jist of this lecture, around 1:15:00 is a good place to start, he rants about Gatorade and McD's. Otherwise, it's O-Chem(?) up to that point. Very interesting stuff. Less Fructose, more Fiber. Less Frankenburgers, more Fruits.
