Now is the best time in history to be a builder. We are entering a golden age of building. Let’s use it to build things to make the country better! 🧵Here are some of the ideas we think will be especially cool to build in this golden age: ycombinator.com/rfs-build
Government software @harjtaggar
Public safety technology @garrytan
Couldn't agree more! Selling to government agencies is notoriously challenging, but when successful, it often creates deep, lasting partnerships. From my experience, the key lies in working with decision-makers who embrace innovation, are empowered to act, and see technology as an enabler—not a replacement—for their roles. Curious to hear: are there any smaller gov-tech startups from YC’s recent batches that you’d highlight as ones to watch?
@ycombinator @harjtaggar Does YC consider tech-enabled social services in this category? School food, Meals on Wheels, benefits, etc.
@ycombinator @t_blom @harjtaggar I wonder why now……………hmmmmmmm
@ycombinator @harjtaggar honestly thanks for sending this into the group @mayaisxyz this helps be a motivator and a reflection because it's like. Wild to think that most start ups don't choose this and this is literally the first thing I want to solve. Talked to an assembly member and issa wild mate.
@ycombinator @harjtaggar Good luck in getting clear requirements 🤣
