when yc backed us nine months ago, people couldn't believe it a services company on the outside, building software on the inside today that thesis is mainstream we're growing 40% month over month throxy is a small team of researchers, engineers, and technologists in london inventing at the edge of what's useful and possible we build agents that close revenue for our customers sequoia is investing in it, in their words, the next trillion dollar company will be a software company that looks like a services firm if you want to build that future, come do it at throxy careers(.)throxy(.)com dm's are open, we're hiring engineers

We’re hosting an exclusive dinner for sales leaders building at the frontier. By throxy (YC X25) on the evening of the ElevenLabs Summit. Bringing together the people shaping the age of AI and agents. We're gathering a small group of sales leaders who are already deploying AI across their revenue engines, for an honest conversation over a long dinner. We have a very limited amount of seats remaining, give me a message if you’re in town and i’ll try get you a spot.

Did 20 engineer interviews last week. Got 15 more lined up this week. Working with top talent is by far the best perk at throxy. We're a small talent dense team. Talking to engineers who've shipped products at scale. Hackers who genuinely care about their craft and building things that work. Builders who could easily take a comfortable big tech job but are choosing to build something that really matters. What's been amazing is how many have been following along these past months. They've seen what we're building, the results we're getting for clients, and they want in. Not because they need a job, but because they're genuinely excited about what throxy is becoming. Surreal to think 10 months ago when this photo was taken, that I would be building next to rockstars. If you're in the top 1% of what you do, we're hiring across the board. DM me.

this is exactly what palantir solved - key thing FDEs did was data integration this was (and still is) the core of what the company does, and its importance was underrated by most observers for years in fact, it’s only now with the advent of AI that people are starting to realize the importance of having clean, curated, easy-to-access data for the enterprise

I worked for a large bank, and the main issue was not generating apps. It was: 1) having access to the data 2) understanding the data well enough to build an useful app Most large companies have the same problem. So I can’t understand how an “app generator” or any vibe-coding platform can succeed in the enterprise without a way to access and understand the data. Any LLM can do it (if you give them the right context) but you need a tight integration between the app and the data layer. Not trivial and that's were most large companies will struggle.

Every morning, I write the same line in my notebook: You must believe you are the one. You have to believe that before anyone else does. In a world of winners and losers, choose to be a winner. When you tell yourself you’re the one, you start acting like it. You show up sharper. You think longer term. You build products that actually solve problems. You push until what you’re building changes people’s lives. Belief drives behavior. Behavior creates results. Results strengthen belief. It’s a loop. And it all starts with convincing yourself you’re the one who can build something people truly want.

Long nights don’t feel the same when it’s your own thing. You’re tired, a bit hungry, but too deep in it to stop. You grab a bite, keep talking through ideas, and somehow end up fixing things you didn’t plan to. People like to compare startup hours to banking or consulting. But it’s not the same. There, you’re working for someone else’s goal. Here, you’re building with your best friends where every extra hour moves the thing you care about forward. And then you get to bike home through an empty London at 2am.

I told Al Russell I’m only having one pastry a week. I’m training for a half Ironman, and discipline matters. Every Friday, he brings pastries for the team. It’s become tradition. But this morning at 8:15 he dropped a message on Slack: “Only bringing one pastry today.” I rushed to the office thinking I might be the lucky one. Instead, I found a 2kg pain au chocolat sitting on the table, big enough for everyone. We shared it, laughed, and got back to work. It was surprisingly good, a small break in a long week. Somehow, that pastry summed it up perfectly.

When we first arrived in San Francisco for YC, I kept hearing stories about founders getting “lucky.” The right intro, the viral launch, the investor who happened to open the right email. For a while I thought, maybe it’s timing. Then I saw what “luck” actually looked like. People shipping daily, showing up everywhere, talking to everyone, experimenting nonstop. That’s when it clicked. You don’t wait for luck. You build it. Every time you show up, fix one more thing, talk to another client, or push a feature that no one asked for yet, you’re increasing your surface area for luck to find you. It doesn’t happen overnight. But the effort compounds. Day after day, you add a little more momentum, a few more connections, one more person who believes in what you’re building. Then one day, something clicks, and from the outside it looks like you just got lucky. The harder you practice, the luckier you get.

Hay muchas cosas que me gustan del sector VC/tech vs finanzas tradicionales. Entre ellas Personas a las admiras y que son tus mentores “profesionales” pasan a ser amigos muy a menudo. Es un lujo.

If you can change your body, you can change your life. This is what Brian Chesky said yesterday in TBPN. I couldn't agree more. I used to spend most of my free time in the gym. Then YC happened. Building @ThroxyAI in SF took over everything. Sixteen-hour days, no gym, no balance. I was locked in but completely out of sync with myself. When I came back to London, I promised I would design my life to be active. I started running and cycling again and walking everywhere. Gym sessions came back. Slowly, I felt that sense of control coming back, not just physically but mentally. Long days start by lacing up and winning before the day starts. It clears my head. It keeps me grounded, and it reminds me why I do all this in the first place. Training your body teaches you the same lessons as building a company: consistency, patience, and the belief that small efforts compound into something great. No single workout will change you overnight. Just like no company was ever built overnight. Its the compounding of showing up every day that moves the needle, in the gym in startups, and in life.

@tonilopezmr and @houmland are killers with a heart so excited to see them winning!
Pablo Omeñaca@houmland

After 3 years building AI agents, I quit my job to launch my own AI company. We applied to @ycombinator 30 minutes before the deadline. Two weeks later, on a Friday morning, I got an email inviting us to an interview on Monday... IN PERSON in SF. We were in Spain… We dropped everything, took a train from Madrid to Bcn, and barely caught the last flight out. We landed monday morning and went straight to YCs office. During that 15 minute interview Nicolas Dessaigne grilled us hard. We walked out convinced it was over. Too early, we’d try again next time. At 9:30 p.m. that same day, we got an email asking for a Zoom call the next morning. We had one more shot. We joined the call, and the first thing Nico said will stay with me forever: “We’d like to fund you.” Fast forward to today, I'm fully settled in SF with my co-founder @tonilopezmr and building something that feels magical. More to come soon!

2 years ago, I was an eng in Spain with no US visa, no Stanford degree, and no path to Silicon Valley 🦅🇺🇸 Today, my O1 just got approved! @rebolthq is backed by @ycombinator and I'm living in San Francisco This is how it happened: 1. I was working as a software engineer, missing product, design, hiring, moving fast and making an impact 2. Decided to join a seed YC-backed startup to get to the US and learn as much as possible 3. I'm accepted into YC for building @rebolthq with @celsmanz and @srmanuelangel The learning: Pursue what you love with people you admire, put all your energy, and you'll grow like you've never thought possible!
