It's a very, very bad idea to make hundreds of our most ambitious 20 and 30 years olds owe $50-$100M in taxes to the state that they just can't pay. Young people taking risks and starting companies that makes new things like all the tools you are using (Substack, Twitter, your laptop, your phone, ChatGTP etc) is one of the most valuable things United States have. This is why I'm here.

it's 2018. you just launched a luxury software crm on product hunt. you used ant.js so it looks fire and modern. your marketing is a little cheeky: "the only CRM that's *actually* easy to use"

It’s like Cursor, but purpose-built for code review.

your web app is good if I use it myself instead of getting AI to use it for me -- unclear if this matters

formidable, inevitable
As products get faster to build, go-to-market becomes the advantage.
The teams that experiment, iterate, and discover new ways to sell will win.
Today, we're launching Cardinal - the AI Revenue Platform where companies like Deepgram, Giga, and Mintlify design how they sell.
:
→ "If someone gets promoted, send them a cake."
→ "If a prospect publishes a new engineering blog, email them with my take."
→ "Follow up with people who used my product in the first week but dropped off."
Design how you sell.

remember when we laughed at TK for doing vibe physics
So another long-standing open conjecture was disproved by AI.
The crazy part is the prompts… basically:
- “do a breakthrough”
- “continue the search”
- “enough, do it”
Anyone will be able to make world-bending breakthroughs soon. Just point the model in the right direction.

seems like many examples these days of founders taking the "distribution is more important than product" meme to the extreme
like yes in most cases it probably is more important but at least be a tad more opinionated/self-respecting than "AI/agent-native"

what is going on, i have only had good experiences with VCs
Two of our worst VC stories:
1. A Sequoia partner passed on Cloudflare because he didn’t think a woman could lead a security infrastructure company. Seriously. 🙄
2. I got introduced to @pmarca. Meeting got scheduled for a Monday, which should have been a clue. I thought it was just a casual meeting. He thought it was a pitch and brought the whole @a16z partnership team. Hilarity ensued. 🤪 At one point one of them said: “You don’t seem very prepared.” Which was true because I wasn’t. I framed the rejection letter they sent.

born too late to be a golden age SaaS founder, too early to be an AI infra founder, but just in time to cope

We're excited to welcome Harshita Arora (@aroraharshita33) as YC's newest General Partner!
She started coding at 13, built and sold her first app as a teenager, and later co-founded AtoB (YC S20), a Series C company building financial infrastructure for the trucking industry, ets—and became YC’s youngest Visiting Partner.
Now she's bringing that experience to support YC founders.

yasser is so impressive. i remember sort of competing against him in 2024 when the ai chat market was early and the way he has grown relentlessly with a tiny team in a crowded space is so dope
9M ARR 🥳
So happy!
@Chatbase is going to be a $100M ARR company.
Some days I feel it's inevitable, we're past the hardest part, it's almost too easy. Some days it feels too hard and I need a miracle.
Constantly moving between "I am a genius, how come no one is doing this" ng about anything".
Follow to watch the journey, you will never be this early.
