@sridharfyi @sridharfyi interesting enough for a remote fellowship without the grant?

Building kyradb.com
Obsidian assumes you'll organise your knowledge. Nobody does. KyraDB reads what you already have, finds the contradictions, extracts the decisions, and builds a self improving context, agents can reason from. Zero maintenance. No prompting. Just plug in your organised/unorganised data and your AI stops hallucinating. Looking for 5 customers in the US.

founders, share your raw pitch here 👇
no polished decks. no buzzwords. just tell us:
• what you’re building
• who it’s for
• why it matters
• what you need right now
drop it in the comments and let’s discover great ideas early.

@sridharfyi @sridharfyi Don't need any grant just guidance and intros

something we see very often: after removing the $15k usd grant from founder fellowships, applications tend to drop. is it really about the fellowship, or was it mostly about the grant?

I just feel that both @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI are going to lose a minimum 50% of their valuations in 2-3 years. Anyone agrees?

@sagargarg87 the vc filter removes most builders before they find out they never needed it

I'm done with VC's, accelerators, YC, etc. No more applications or calls with them. It's a waste of time and effort. The only thing matters now is to onboard my first paying customer for kyradb.com

@sagargarg87 I co-founded a company that raised millions. wouldn't do it again
tech and distribution used to be the reasons to raise as they were costly, today with the right approach / system both are possible.
Also the second you raise funding it stops truly being yours

@Tancrededib ex, at my previous org, I spent 3 months untangling a massive black-box system failure (where 80% of support tickets were wrongly flagged as fraud due to silent network drops). I fixed it in 4 weeks, dropping ticket volume from 70% to under 25% and restoring support capacity.

@sagargarg87 Being exceptionally good at something very specific.
You got anything ?

@Tancrededib solving messy problems that no one else wants to get their hands into willingly

What are some Top AI companies being built out of Bangalore? Please tag them.
Would love to meet some iconic founders who are doing cutting edge work in AI.

@EscanorReloaded Both problems get resolved with Kyra (KyraDB.com). Try it

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.
One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.
Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.
You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.
The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.
And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.
To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.
You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.
Enjoy.

i want to give someone a golden ticket into SF startup life.
i don't care how many years of experience you have.
i'm looking for an AI-native product engineer who is:
- in a committed relationship with claude code
- constantly building side projects
- insanely curious
- moving faster than the people around them
- hungry to learn fast and do the best work of their life
we'll spend 6 days/week working side-by-side building the future of patient-led healthcare for the 400M+ people with chronic conditions that modern medicine still fails to solve.
i'll cover your relocation to SF and give you unlimited claude credits to automate the software factory of your dreams.
DM me your github and some things you've built!

@illscience Agree. That's why built a db engine for agentic era from ground up. Conflict management, scalability, agent sandbox, accurate context retrieval, etc all baked into one product.

the big thing that's changed since 2010 is you can be dramatically more ambitious in the type of software you build and charge dramatically higher prices
the durable lesson from foursquare and yelp and many 2010 era startups is to build at the edge of new tech and new culture
Garry Tan@garrytan
Founders must stop trying to building 2010-era businesses with 2026-era technology. Don't try to rebuild Foursquare or Yelp. Don't try to recreate Basecamp by 37 Signals with $10/mo SaaS pricing. Don't underprice! If it works it's worth a lot more. Don't be tempted to become "Tech enabled PE" with revenue tricks. The rules of tech changed with AI. Play the new game.

why join YC? My two favorite reasons:
(1) every YC partner is a former YC founder that has built/scaled a company
(2) YC itself is a cutting-edge technology company, built and led by the partners
we will always live in the future and be the earliest adopters of technology
Y Combinator@ycombinator
Over the past year, we've been building our own internal agent infrastructure at YC: over 350 tools, self-improving skill loops, and a shared organizational brain that gets smarter overnight. In this episode of the @LightconePod, we sat down with YC General Partner Pete @koomen to talk about how he led the effort from the ground up. We cover how giving agents unrestricted access to one database was the key unlock, the self-improving skill loops that get smarter overnight, and why he thinks we've arrived at the personal computer moment for AI. 00:39 — YC's AI Stack 02:15 — The Finance Team Problem That Started It All 05:07 — SQL Access Changes Everything 07:20 — One Database to Rule Them All 09:14 — Jevons Paradox 10:07 — Denormalizing for Agents 12:15 — The Single-Player Era of Agents 14:16 — 350 Tools and a Shared Registry 16:24 — Skillify, DRY, and MECE Resolvers 18:23 — The Self-Improving Dream Cycle 20:26 — The Two-Sentence Pitch Skill 23:06 — How Super Intelligence Compounds 25:10 — Recording Everything as a Building Layer 27:10 — The Shared Organizational Brain 29:18 — Trust-Default Culture as a Requirement 30:44 — Raising the Floor for New Employees 32:35 — Horseless Carriages 34:24 — Why Chat Is the Best Interface for Agents 38:50 — Just-in-Time Software 40:49 — Centralizing vs. Decentralizing AI 43:32 — The Personal AI Revolution

@atShruti What's this new AI era strategy to close enterprise contracts in less than a month? Decison makers are still humans not AI. Please help me understand or point me to the right direction. Building kyradb.com @garrytan @atShruti
English
💯 Founders want to be congratulated for closing that one large $100k enterprise contract that took them 6 months but the reality is that more companies are growing to millions in revenue in 6 months by use very different go to market approaches.
Building the old school way it literally just dying a slow death.
