Vesting ⚡

This YC founder says stop using AI for everything 🛑 "You make more work for yourself if you use AI for everything. Some problems need better automation, data integrity, processes—not LLMs. In law/immigration: you need verifiably true outputs. AI can't guarantee that. Sometimes automation > AI." AI isn't always the answer. Rahul Gudise (Gale - YC W25) host @brycent

This YC defense tech founder's advice: minimize regret 🎯 "Shoot the shot. Don't be scared. Think about which you'll regret the least—keep doing what you're doing or take the plunge. Minimize regret. That's my #1 piece of advice." Team GB fencer → graphic design → defense drones. Every pivot = betting against future regret. What will you regret NOT doing? (Seeing Systems - YC W26) @Alex_10200

This YC founder's advice: action creates information ⚡ @narsagna - "99% of your problems = you don't know your customers enough. Stop romanticizing ideas in your head. Stop building 4-5 features before shipping. When it's uncomfortable, just put it out there. Talk to people. Ideas compound. You'll learn fast if you're right or wrong." What are you overthinking instead of shipping? (Skillsync - YC W26)

This 19yo YC founder's startup advice: be insanely curious 📚 @zixihong_ -"Always look for problems. We found our space by researching the landscape. As you dig deeper: wow, problem here, problem there. Read books, articles. We have a Discord where we share history, geography, whatever—not even company stuff. Absorb everything." Curiosity → problems → startups. (Shofo - YC W26)

This YC defense tech founder explains the Red Queen hypothesis 👑 "Cheetah gets faster → gazelle gets faster. Neither crushes it. They just stay even. In Ukraine: drone tech obsolescence went from 12 months → 2 months. Every 60 days = complete rebuild. Traditional defense can't keep up. That's why we're embedded with Royal Marines." What if your competitor is evolving every 60 days? (Seeing Systems - YC W26) host @brycent

This YC founder runs advertising like a hedge fund 📊 "We deploy capital (ad spend), backed by securities (brand/product). We generate alpha (sales). We take carry (%). Most agencies use simple linear models. But the optimization problem is convex and non-linear. Math > creativity for most brands." Is your marketing team solving the wrong equation? @mlaurencechen (Laurence - YC W26) host @brycent

This YC founder's startup advice: believe in yourself, but not too much 🎯 "Self-belief is critical—you won't make it without it. But healthy insecurity helps too. I have a 95% close rate because I'm insecure and want people to like me. I'm headstrong on what I know, but self-aware on what I don't." Conviction + insecurity = edge. @mlaurencechen (Laurence - YC W26) host @brycent

@marvy_101 absolutely cooking!

Every 60 seconds, someone on Sorce gets an interview. Still only the beginning...

This YC founder's startup advice is simple ⚡ "Read The Mom Test. Then talk to literally everyone. Learn their day-to-day. Shadow people. We spent a week locked in a room thinking about ideas. Completely useless. Theory crafting is pointless if it's not real. We went to a conference, talked to everyone → found immigration." Ideas die in rooms. Live in conversations. Rahul Guide (Gale YC W25) host @brycent

This YC founder says escaping the noise is critical 🔇 "Stop focusing on '$20M raised' or 'X revenue.' People forget their own journey. One company: huge launch, big investors, shut down in 2 years. Fundraising ≠ company health. Different games. Are you building something great or just making noise?" @aidaniil (Sparkles - YC W26) host @brycent

This YC founder says the "scratch your own itch" advice is limiting founders 🚫 "I don't think you need to experience the problem directly. Average dev out of college? Not many problems. Dev tools, maybe education stuff. That's limiting. Go talk to people. Learn industries. Build where you can have impact." Solve big problems, not just your own. (Gale - YC W25) host @brycent

These YC founders build strike drones and say YC works for deep tech 🎯 "YC isn't hands-on mentorship. But it moves you faster. Military units reached out just from the exposure. Yes, most advice is for B2B SaaS. Filter it." At founder dinners: bookkeeping, social media... then "strike drones" 💀 Deep tech = same playbook, different filter.
