As a follow-up question, I think a nice addition for the application would be: "Aside from what you are currently making, what is driving you to be an entrepreneur?"
Paul, you mentioned that one of the key characteristics of a good team is persistence and the unwillingness to give up. When you have no fall-back and absolutely must succeed, it can be the difference between success and failure. YC can infer a lot from the rest of the application, but it might be beneficial for both parties if we were explicit about it.
