New YC homepage design just launched! 👀 The last few years have been a return to our roots at YC, so we wanted to capture that with our new site, and show what it's really like to go through the batch. There's also a bunch of fun easter eggs throughout – thread below!

Dubai now hosts more than 800 AI companies, mostly startups, according to the Dubai Center for Artificial Intelligence. But despite an “abundance” of tech workers, a talent report by the UAE Ministry of Economy and @fragomen shows most lack the skills needed for specialized AI roles, forcing employers to recruit talent from beyond the Middle East. “Diverse talent drives innovation and helps startups scale faster,” says Akeed Azmi, co-founder & CEO, Cercli. “Engineers from different backgrounds solve problems differently and build better products. Our global team helps us understand diverse markets and customer needs across over 50 countries. @akeed23 @cercliHQ

18 years since @Mubadala invested in @AMD, created @GlobalFoundries, and began its journey in the semiconductor industry. It was 1% everyday, a steady hand, high tolerance for pain, and long-term commitment to being leaders in technology. To see it all come together like this and for Abu Dhabi to become a center for technology and ai leadership is incredible 🇦🇪 🇺🇸
