@Tancrededib 🫡

A founder cold DM’d me 2 weeks ago, they had: No Co founder No company they’re currently on a flight to SF to start their company @ TheBridge residency Your life can change in an instant, take that bet, send that message.

@realsimon 🫡

No credentials? No problem. Intelligence and agency will grant you access to the most elite places on earth.

@SenouKounouho Congrats! I’d love to apply for the next cohort.

Just wrapped up Demo Day this past week, capping an amazing experience building for the past 3 months with the network and mentorship of Alliance. For any college founders in AI, fintech, or crypto, get on this right now

@prince_twets @ycombinator @garrytan Wtf

I just got into @ycombinator, got $500K, and I’m moving to SF! I started this remittance business last year and today we have processed over $60m from India and about to finally get an IMTO license. I wasn’t even gonna apply to YC if it weren’t for @garrytan always encouraging me through his timeline post. I’m excited to for this new phase, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. If you’re in SF, let’s hang out! DMs open to see what we can do. I’m just joking, and practicing my speech when I get into YC finally

@calilyliu Really?

The mandate of the Solana Foundation is to help Solana win.

Founders: How many times did you apply before getting into YC or Alliance? First try or multiple attempts?

@stevensarmi Oh nice

If you want assets api access to help beta test dm me, i'll get you onboarded. - canonical versions of assets aggregated together - smart routing to different variants - single source of truth of verified assets on Solana so much more to come for tokens.

@Amank1412 Fr

crazy how 16-17 year olds in the US are raising $1M-$2M through yc. In India, I doubt even a single vc would write that kind of check for a 17-18 year old. The difference in ecosystem is massive.

@shreyansj Congrats

We are joining Y Combinator! 4 years ago, just weeks after meeting in school, Naman and I recorded our first YC founder intro on Google Meet from our bedrooms in Agra, our hometown in India. We were 15 but we wanted to change the world just as much as we want to today, maybe even more. They were also just as confident they’d get in (lol). Today, we’re two 18 year olds building @manicule, an AI native technical documentation studio. We’re already at $150K+ ARR with just a team of 5 and we’ve worked with @greptile, @reductoai, @supermemory, and more. A year ago, I skipped college to build something real and we keep building now!

@benln Here

Who’s building today?

Still early. But Ayzora is starting to look less like an idea and more like a real data engine. Calls. Entry snapshots. 15m / 1h / 24h tracking. ATH. Drawdown. That’s where it starts getting interesting.

@BillionAireSon Hmm

A quiet group of people are getting paid $50–$150/hour to train the AI. While people are arguing about AI taking jobs... Actual platforms hiring right now. Here are 4: 1. Mercor → work.mercor.com/explore Mercor connects professionals directly to AI labs. Your job is simple: • review AI answers • correct its reasoning • help train the models Some roles reportedly pay $90–$150/hr depending on expertise. You’re not competing with AI. You’re literally teaching it. 2. Mindrift → mindrift.ai/apply Mindrift hires people to help improve AI systems. Typical work: • evaluating responses • writing prompts • fixing model outputs All Remote and Flexible. You complete tasks whenever projects are available. 3. micro1 → micro1.ai/jobs micro1 is basically a pipeline into AI startups and Silicon Valley companies. Their system matches engineers with companies building AI infrastructure. Some roles go six figures. 4. Turing → developers.turing.com Turing has been connecting global developers with US tech companies for years. Now a lot of the demand is AI-related roles. Remote work. Global hiring. Here’s the crazy part: The biggest AI companies still depend heavily on human trainers. Humans to: • guide the models • test their reasoning • evaluate outputs • improve responses Without humans, AI doesn’t get smarter. So while the internet debates "AI replacing jobs" A new profession is quietly emerging: AI Trainers. And most people won’t notice it until the opportunity window is already gone.
