Y Combinator has long been - and continues to be - the tip of the innovation spear. That's why I was especially excited to sit down with @garrytan, President & CEO of @ycombinator, for a conversation that gets right to the core of what’s changing across the startup landscape.
At @interplay, I've spent years working alongside entrepreneurs who are laser-focused on building, scaling, and making a lasting impact. Over that time, I've seen countless trends come and go - but when a true seismic shift hits, like the one we’re seeing with AI today, it’s critical to step back and understand the bigger picture.
Garry and I dove deep into why vertical SaaS and AI-native startups are poised to drive the next wave of innovation, how lean, AI-augmented teams are rewriting the rules of company building, and why real traction still comes down to solving tangible user problems. We also explored the geographic shifts reshaping where startups thrive, the current realities of AI adoption, and what it truly takes to build a product the world actually wants. It’s a great, timely conversation.
A special thanks to Garry for joining us and sharing his insights.
