Startup School is coming to India! 🇮🇳 Hear from founders like @harshilmathur of Razorpay, @viditaatrey of Meesho, @lkeshre of Groww, @mukundjha of Emergent and more. And join the best builders and hackers from across the country for a day of talks and sessions with YC partners.


.@GenAstronautics builds autonomous robotics for space. In microgravity, proteins crystallize without defects and semiconductors form without flaws, but astronaut time is scarce. They are enabling scale for the work that can't be done anywhere else. Congrats on the launch, @BramSchork and @ShiboZhou! ycombinator.com/launches/PY8-g…

.@Aemon_ai is the AI R&D engineer. Give it a problem and a way to measure success, it then discovers optimal solutions, often going beyond what human experts can find. They just set a new record on circle packing — a classic NP-hard problem — with less than $10 of compute. Learn more at aemon.ai. Congrats on the launch, @Richard__Zhou and @RayXu_official! ycombinator.com/launches/PXs-a…


.@strandaibio builds foundation models to fill in missing patient data. They predict unmeasured biological modalities from existing ones, turning sparse clinical trial datasets into complete multimodal profiles. Congrats on the launch, @_odedf and @moremelessyue! ycombinator.com/launches/PXW-s…








The way startups are built has shifted quickly. We're excited about a range of startup ideas for AI-native companies that can now be built faster, cheaper, and with more ambition than ever. ycombinator.com/rfs


Today, we're excited to launch a newly redesigned ycombinator.com! Our new site puts founders front and center and we want it to reflect what YC is really about: helping talented builders become great founders.

Congrats to @GovDash on their $30M Series B! GovDash is building AI-native infrastructure for gov contracting. It vertically integrates the full procurement lifecycle, from opportunity discovery to delivery & recompete, so contractors win faster & focus on mission, not paperwork. Congrats to @seandoher1y & team! axios.com/pro/fintech-de…



Congrats to @FINNYAI on their $17M Series A! The $90T+ wealth management industry still prospects with tools built for other industries, with advisors spending ~60 hours on cold outreach to convert one client. Finny's AI matches advisors with high-intent prospects, helping advisors on the platform bring in $7.7M in new client assets annually. 500+ firms, 50x revenue growth this year, and they're building one of the most talent-dense teams in NYC. forbes.com/sites/martinac…
