How I feel after this tweet:
Farza 🇵🇰🇺🇸@FarzaTV

I decided to join Y Combinator, again. This would be my second time! Not fully sure what I'm working on yet. But, I'm sure I'll find something in time as I wander and ship. I'm a little scared to do the whole build a company thing again ngl, but mostly excited. There's never been a better time to work on the ideas in my head. The batch started this week. Starting a company at 23 vs now starting a company at 30 feels so different. At 23 (when I did YC in 2020), naivety was there. At 30 I guess I know how difficult it all is. It's not surprising to me that most people in YC are aged 19-24. Still, I feel like I have the naivety of a 19 year-old, but, with the mental of a guy who's been through a lot and learned a lot. So, I'm bullish. Let's see what happens. You'll probably see me launching a lot of random stuff over the next few weeks especially. Also, I am blown away by the number of founders in the batch walking up to me telling me they credit being at YC to @_buildspace. It's so wonderful, and warms my heart. I often struggle to stop and understand the value of my past work because I'm so interested in the future. So, this was nice. It's funny, many saw me irl and freaked out thinking I was joining as a YC partner and were very very surprised to hear I was joining as a founder back in the dirt alongside them haha. Most founders never start another company and usually turn into VCs or get a high-tier job at a big company. I do not blame them. And honestly, that would be the easier more secure path for me especially as I begin thinking about family. But, idk. I feel like my ideas are important. And even though I don't have a specific "This is the idea I'm excited about" it's more a feeling of "I should explore my ideas...I would regret it if I didn't". Especially in 2026, at the epicenter of one of the greatest inventions of my lifetime. Every time I think about getting a job (of which I've been offered many great ones) that voice in my head comes back and says to give my nascent visions a shot. So, gonna try :) Maybe I flop, maybe I don't, only one way to find out. I'll be dropping weekly updates on YouTube if you're interested. I put one out last week that talks more in depth around the story of how this YC stuff even happened randomly, why I'm doing this again, my imposter syndrome and how I think about it, and other stuff. I'll link it below. Lets see what happens!! See y'all.

How to grow your SaaS from $0 to $1M ARR (1+ hour FREE course) I just released a free course breaking down everything I learned going from $0 → $1M ARR. No theory. Just the exact strategies that actually worked. If you're building a SaaS, or feeling stuck trying to grow, this will help. Inside the course I cover: • How to turn social media attention into real revenue (not vanity metrics) • The growth frameworks that actually generated SaaS ARR • Why building an audience before you need it changes everything • The distribution strategies that helped us scale fast Want the course? RT so more founders can see it Comment “Course” I’ll send it to you. 🚀

🚀 I’m participating in AgentX AgentBeats — the world’s largest open competition focused on agentic AI. Hosted by Berkeley RDI and connected to ~40,000 learners via the Agentic AI MOOC. This isn’t just about building better agents — it’s about how we evaluate them. 🧵👇 🧠 Why agentic evaluation matters As AI systems become more autonomous, classic benchmarks start to break: • data contamination • overfitting • leaderboard gaming They tell us what scored well — not why systems succeed or fail. AgentBeats flips the problem. Evaluation itself becomes agentic: • runs tasks autonomously • enforces protocols • analyzes errors • produces structured, reproducible reports Benchmarks become systems, not spreadsheets. 🧬 What I’m building An autonomous evaluation agent for biomedical NLP, inspired by recent large-scale LLM studies (e.g. Chen et al., Nature Comms 2025). The idea is simple: one agent evaluates other agents — rigorously and transparently. 🟢 How it works A “Green Agent” evaluates competing “Purple Agents” (LLMs or agentic systems): • orchestrates task execution • enforces evaluation rules • measures performance • generates diagnostic reports No single score. Real insight. Goals: • reduce contamination & overfitting • enable fine-grained error analysis • move from leaderboard scores → system-level understanding Critical for high-stakes domains like healthcare. 🔬 Why biomedical NLP is hard • hallucinations can sound plausible — and be dangerous • ground truth is scattered across papers & databases • rare diseases = sparse, inconsistent data Evaluation needs evidence, not vibes. 🤔 A key question Can generalist LLM agents match or beat specialized biomedical NLP tools? Historically, domain-specific systems dominated: • NER • relation extraction • evidence synthesis AgentBeats finally lets us test this properly. 📊 What gets evaluated Across 6 task types / 12 datasets: • QA (MedQA, PubMedQA) • NER (BC5CDR, NCBI Disease) • multi-label classification • relation extraction • text simplification • dynamic summarization (live PubMed articles) Dynamic summarization is real-world hard: fetched live, evaluated end-to-end. ⚙️ Key capabilities • fully automated evaluation • fine-grained error analysis (hallucinations, boundaries, knowledge gaps…) • 1–5⭐ ratings aligned with production readiness • side-by-side agent comparisons • actionable insights — not just scores 🔮 Why this matters AgentBeats points toward a future where: • evaluation is autonomous • benchmarks are reproducible & contamination-aware • AI systems are judged with real rigor In healthcare, this isn’t optional.

@karanjagtiani04 @iEx_ec hey Karan, the idea is to restrict access, so the agent only has access to a TEE tool and never see the user’s personal informations The tg handle is an example but it could be medical, financial or intimate informations

one example is the @web3privacy newsletter an agent fetches the newsletter, chooses the most impactful ones and send you a summary privately 🤫 you can subscribe here: app.1xbuild.com/subscribe/web3… ps: this requires some Eth on arbitrum
