YC's latest Request for Startups

It would be great if the list had some more topics on the bigger real issues in the world. Like solving climate and biodiversity problems, inequality, etc.

I submitted my application for a SaaS with robotics 🤗

So great they can act like gods who decide which idea lives and which doesn’t.

Bunch of fkin bs if you ask me.

You guys on your videos are coming across as too pompous sometimes. If you really want to attract the best talent, pre-script what you're going to say, have an in-house 'humility checker' check it, then listen to your audience. There actually are choices out there for incubators with accessible, humble operators. If you find yourself saying "not with YC's fame and success" - that's what I mean.

Solving cancer is hard scientific problem, it's not a good fit for YCombinator. The same goes for every other medical problem.

What’s missing from your list is new currencies, a stable coin that pegs its value to itself. Such a currency has the ability to solve the other items on the list. Eg. Cancer, becoming a level 0 civilization….

I am creating a start up. It is a start up engine. Prompt to product. By using general LLMs to direct prompt engineering against specialized LAM’s, or other expert. LLM’s, and use a Gentic capabilities to actually go from prompt to analysis to pitch to prototype to production all automated. That’s the power of applied AI. The number of possibilities is unlimited and our biggest challenge. Now it’s going to be figuring out how to spend that $7 trillion.

Mostly AI stuffs.

Love the call to action! 🌐 The world is indeed full of untapped expertise, and your Request for Startups (RFS) is a fantastic invitation for founders to channel their skills into something new and great.

AI has made it the best time in history to build saas and consumer software companies (what yc is known for) and yet all of these are hard tech?

Q: are you expecting fewer traction from companies trying to go after an RFS idea? Basically a lot of these are potentially hard tech, so if I came up with an idea for a hard tech company in one of these areas now, would a literal idea be good enough?

How are RFSs recognized in relation to the application? Is it up to the application committee to recognize when a startup falls into one of the categories?

What is RFS?

You forgot about social media casinos

Cool
