If the cofounders have only known each other for about 1 month, what can we do to reassure YC we'll work well together?
Would evidence of some random (yet to be done) side project help? Good chemistry in the video? Anecdotal evidence that we've built up trust and a good relationship? Good legal framework?
We are still actively building a larger team of course but these things take time. This is the only part of the application that worries me. =)

Cofounders that have known each other longer split up all the time, mostly because their relationship was never tested in that way.
We are actively working on building a relationship that can survive the startup process and if not, we're trying to find that out sooner rather than later. I guess we'll just have to do our best to explain that in the application/video.
