YC has always tended to encourage finding a cofounder, but they've been funding solo teams since at least Dropbox in S07.

Given that multi-founder teams still represent 90% of the startups they fund, I could understand calling this a moderate shift. But "flipped on its head" feels like an exaggeration.
