BootLoop is an AI agent for firmware & embedded software that writes, tests, and debugs code on real hardware in minutes.
All modern hardware needs firmware, but it’s expensive, time-consuming, and bugs in the field can lead to multi-million dollar recalls. On top of that, even elite engineering companies can take up to 6 months to find an embedded engineer.
BootLoop is building an AI agent to deliver custom firmware, fully tested on your hardware, in minutes, not months.
Their agent understa ...more

Apolink has raised $4.3 million in an oversubscribed seed round to build a real-time connectivity network for satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), tackling a major challenge in space communications: dead zones where satellites lose contact with the ground.
The company was founded by 19-year-old Onkar Singh Batra, who developed a passion for space at 14 and, by high school, built InQube—India’s first open-source satellite. That experience opened his eyes to a major challenge: most satellites sti ...more

In this fireside at AI Startup School on June 16th, he shares the journey from hacking together a natural-language-to-SQL search tool to building a product used by millions around the world.
He talks about the big bet on the AI-powered browser, why agents—not just chatbots—are the next step, and how speed, accuracy, and focus help a startup compete against giants. Along t ...more

8 years ago, I published a paper at ICML, and a serendipitous convo with a former founder led me down a path to co-founding a company around some of the ideas I was working on.
Happy to be the counterparty to those random conversations now! If you’re a researcher at ICML, Pete Koomen and I would love to meet you.

Imagine calling an airline and speaking with an AI agent (zero hold time) who deeply understands travel and can quickly resolve any issue.

Congrats on the launch, Todd Sullivan, Tomasz Niedzwiecki, and Will Weber!

I got rejected from the prestigious "next top entrenpreneur" program and got big nos at pitch competitions in college, but it didn't stop me. Rejection shouldn't stop you. The key is to brush it off and do it anyway. Don't be thirsty, be better.

Humoniq (YC S25) is building voice AI agents to handle customer support for travel companies, such as airlines. From a team that's spent 20+ years experiencing the problems firsthand, they're now solving them for good using AI.
Why is customer support in the travel industry so bad? The truth is, travel companies are overwhelmed. Support still relies on humans, and that model breaks down fast. Disruptions can spike call volume without warning. Agent turnover is high. Training takes time and mone ...more

Opennote (YC S25) is the interactive AI tutor that knows you.
Most students are stuck with static notes, generic quizzes, and endless YouTube videos that don’t actually help them understand the material. School lectures move too fast, and online tools rarely adapt to how you learn best. It’s easy to feel lost or get stuck in a loop of memorization and boredom.
Opennote is changing that. Upload your lecture slides, notes, or textbook chapters, and Opennote instantly turns them into personalized ...more

Ekho has raised $17.3M in Seed and Series A funding to build the end-to-end vehicle commerce platform.
Today, buying a car online still mostly means filling out a form and waiting for the dealership to call. And while some automakers and marketplaces try to sell directly to consumers, they risk straining relationships with dealers. There was a clear shift after the pandemic: people wanted to buy cars online. Tesla had set the standard, but other automakers and dealers lacked the tools.
