The last few years were about proving what AI can do. Now, it's about building with it. We've put together a new list of startup ideas we're especially excited about— ideas that treat AI not as a feature, but as a foundation. ycombinator.com/rfs
Retraining Workers for the AI Economy @harjtaggar The AI revolution needs more than researchers and engineers. It also needs electricians and welders for the physical buildout. We're looking to fund startups creating AI-powered vocational training for the jobs that make the AI economy possible.
Video Generation as a Primitive @dflieb Generative video is becoming a new computing primitive. When video is cheap, fast, and personalized, it won’t just change media, it’ll change shopping, games, communication, and more. We’re looking for founders building in this world of limitless video.
The First 10-person, $100B Company @aaron_epstein New AI tools make it possible to build billion-dollar companies with tiny teams— and even solo founders. We want to fund the first 10-person, $100B startup. If you're high-agency and ready to move fast, let's build.
Infrastructure for Multi-Agent Systems @koomen Multi-agent systems are powerful but hard to build. Think agentic MapReduce with thousands of subagents running in parallel. We're looking for folks who've felt the pain of scaling these systems and want to make operating fleets of agents as easy as deploying a web service.
AI Native Enterprise Software @amiklas Salesforce and ServiceNow won by going all-in on the cloud before the incumbents could react. AI is the next wave, and it's just as big. The next generation of enterprise software won't just record work, it'll help do it. If you're building AI-native tools for the enterprise, let's talk.
@ycombinator @koomen it's not just agents, we call them components (agents, tools, LLMs), and @ Starnus we're building the infra that orchestrates 100s of components, not though preset connections, but via dynamically managed routes and I/O management. It's a fully intelligent AI infra
@ycombinator @koomen $TORUS will rule them all @torus_network
@ycombinator @koomen I believe @open_founder and @defidennis from @openservai have something to say here...
