YC teaches every founder to build, measure, learn and pivot fast. We’ve lived that firsthand. In YCW20, we were building a crypto neobank. But the deeper we went, the more we realised: the real mess wasn’t in banking, it was in accounting. 🧵

dinners used to be a family/friends bonding ritual. in SF, it’s now an “aesthetically curated, community-manager-facilitated, vibe-forward social activation for high-agency founders to perform authentic connection and generate Instagrammable social capital” who wants to get burritos by standing in queue infront of la taqueria?

one thing I miss about Bangalore is that I can ping in the group chat whenever I’m somewhere chilling and someone or sometimes more people would pop in! been a year in sf and I’m still doing calendar invites :/

At Finlens, we proactively reach out to users who pay but don't use it and happily refund them the entire amount. We don’t want revenue from software sitting unused. We’d rather earn the subscription by being genuinely useful.

Character is, to a significant degree, the accumulation of choices.

I made the finals at OpenAI Hackathon. Built Agentic OS for a Phone. Solo. The way we use mobile devices is going to change forever. Please support with your vote.

We're hiring full-stack and f-e engineers. DM.
OpenWork (@getopenwork) is the open source alternative to Claude Cowork. Roll out AI compliantly across your non-technical org at scale. Use your existing agents, deploy on-prem, and use any LLM provider you want. They already have 14k stars on GitHub with over 150k downloads. Congrats on the launch, @benjaminshafii! ycombinator.com/launches/Q3p…

Every time you switch between design and code, you lose something, your momentum, your fidelity, or your vision. The gap between what you designed and what ships has always been the cost of building. That’s why we built Wonder, a design tool where everything you create is backed by real code. Public Alpha is now live at wonder.design

Introducing Liam. An agent I made for myself to take care of all my annoying email tasks. Writes drafts in my voice, declutters my inbox, and schedules meetings for me. All within Gmail. One click install. Free to use.
