We raised $6M to discover new pesticides with AI. Seed co-led by General Catalyst and A Capital, with participation from SV Angel, Paul Graham, Character Capital, Liquid 2, Basis Set, and others. We’re YC W25. Little-known fact: farmers today use 2x more pesticide than they did

I just met a founder who built a company to $4mm run rate in 7 months completely powered by agent personas he created. Every decision is made by the agents. He walked me through “a day in the life” for him and it expanded my mind of what’s possible already with agents.
this RFS is crazy, don't build AI Tools - build AI companies to replace Dinosaurs

Tesla FSD v14.1.4 is a major regression in behavior. The amount of skittish phantom breaking is insane. Hope it’s fixed soon.

Periodic reminder: Fundraising 👏 is 👏 not 👏 success 👏
What percent of Series A startups go on to gain at least 10x in valuation? For Series As from 2017-2020: - 15% are now worth at least 10x - 51% are worth 2x or less (44% never got more valuable at all) Across the whole distribution from 2017-2025, there are 5 companies in this

The thing that drives me crazy is when I meet repeat founders who went through YC and have internalized none of the lessons. Huge red flag.
you won't realize this as a first-time founder, but yc is right about 99% of things every time I doubted their advice, I paid the price being yc pilled will save you so much time

Our team: What would you say to someone that wants to start a company right now? Me: quickly quickly quickly 😅 But more seriously, I truly believe there's never been a better time to build a startup. It has never been easier (or quicker!) to build, iterate, and get customers.
We've seen AI make starting a company faster and cheaper. Barriers can be lower and the ecosystem is ready. If you've been tinkering with an idea, act now. More from @yuris on why he believes it's the time to build:

It’s rare to meet a founder where you want to partner with them no matter what they’re working on, but that’s exactly how I felt after meeting @MaxJunestrand 2 years ago. @WeAreLegora’s growth had been nothing short of an insane rocket ship. 🚀
Huge day for @WeAreLegora today! We’ve raised a $150M Series C at a $1.8B valuation. Thank you @BessemerVP , @ICONIQCapital , @generalcatalyst , @Redpoint , @benchmark , and @ycombinator – and to all of our clients: this celebration is as much yours as it is ours.
