I wonder how many solo founders are there in YC. Anybody know any of them?

I don't know any examples, people have asked on several occasions how many single-founder companies YC funds, and IIRC pg said it was roughly 5% of the companies.

I think PG's advice against solo-founder companies would remain true, hence not rendering YC any more solo-friendly. I'm surprised that number is even 5%, considering the number of high-quality YC applicants that could potentially be paired together.
