@hthieblot We have 12 followers, and the number 12 is in our name. Please do!

The next trillion-dollar founder has 12 followers on X rn. I will find you & fund you!

@sdianahu Congrats Diana, b12 is lucky to be able to work with you!

I'm deeply grateful and honored YC has changed my life twice: first as a founder, and now as someone who gets to back and support ambitious talent that's unproven feel lucky to do this work, and even luckier to do it with people I admire so much

We're excited to announce Diana Hu (@sdianahu) as YC's newest Managing Partner. Diana co-founded Escher Reality (YC S17), which was acquired by Niantic, where she shipped AR to the 100M+ people playing Pokémon GO. Since returning to YC as a partner, she has worked with nearly 230 companies that are now worth a combined $7 billion. Few people have built a startup from zero and also shipped at global scale. Diana has done both. ycombinator.com/blog/diana-hu-…

In the quest toward automated synthesis, there's a massive gap between "this reaction looks good in paper" and actually running it. Turns out, someone has to select the conditions: temperature, ligands, additives... the right conditions turn an impossible reaction into real product! Today we’re announcing Palladium, our agentic solution for reaction condition and HTE plate design. Instead of starting with blind optimization, Palladium leverages precedent experiments and substrate-specific reasoning to design a strong first plate. Our beta users in academia and pharma have found conditions as high as 98%, and typically above 90% yield, on the first experiment, often with no follow-up experiments needed. This is how at b12 Labs (YC S25) we accelerate real chemistry. Read more b12-labs.com/blog/palladium… If you’re a chemist trying to accelerate difficult reactions, we’d love to talk.

The @b12Labs team is joining @FutureLabs_Live next week in Basel! Meet our founders @ZJoncev and @drecmb at Booth S9. At @b12Labs (YC S25) we believe the future of Synthetic Chemistry is Agentic, and we are building that future. If you're around, let's meet and discuss chemistry and AI: we'll be excited to share our latest breakthroughs in retrosynthesis, reaction optimization, and integration with robotic labs! We’d love to connect with partners and chemists who are ready to embrace the agentic future of the lab. Let’s talk about how we can optimize your reactions and automate your workflows. #FutureLabs #AgenticChemistry #AI4Science #Chemistry #Synthesis

@sacha_rfd @FutureLabs_Live @ZJoncev @drecmb Maybe next time :)

@b12Labs @FutureLabs_Live @ZJoncev @drecmb Super cool! Wish I could join :)

@hthieblot We run small molecule synthesis with robots and AI. Most biotech will depend on this in a few years. Videos in DM

I want to fund as much hardtech as possible this year. Who is building the coolest shit? Bonus for images/videos
