Ask HN: Did YC accept a mere idea anymore?
I'm broke and can't afford to hire developer to make my MVP alive but I have a clear idea on what my MVP will look like with details interactive prototyping. I've also prepare a pitch deck with validation and a clear target on how to make money and everything.
But I'm afraid this will be not good enough, watching YC's portfolios getting larger and larger with more complex companies that looks like Fortune 500 with proven revenues, and with that I'm getting more and more intimidated to even bother to apply.
Do I even have a chance?

These days it's probably easier to find a developer who'll work for equity than it is to get in to a decent accelerator without any traction.
Learn to code. This will get you started on an MVP, and also looks good on an application.
