Just finished watching Andrej Karpathy's Y Combinator talk, "Software Is Changing (Again)," and his insights are essential for anyone building in the current startup ecosystem. We are experiencing a profound shift from traditional hand-written code (Software 1.0) to Software 3.0, where prompts in natural language effectively program Large Language Models (LLMs). Karpathy views LLMs as a new kind of centralized "operating system" currently in its 1960s computing era.

Day 2 of destroying loneliness and building a billion dollar company… talked to 72 people for idea validation and stored their feedback via google forms. Talked to my professor about the idea and he seemed pretty interested in it. He also said we could meet tomorrow and discuss and refine the idea. I am looking forward to that.
Also talking to 72 people after attending event and class till 9 pm was really tiring but i guess a billion dollars doesn’t come by chance and it requies hardwork. So th ...more

I actually practice an advanced form of hypercommunication therapy, tactfully blending virality with concrete wisdom. Very demure of me to be a 2Cool4School teacher; you know kids don’t listen to lessons that aren’t more engaging than their distractions. 🥸🤭🥸

We’re skipping the stealth mode playbook.
At BaseBrain, we believe in building openly wins, fails, and even the occasional spectacular bug.
Starting September 17th, we (Krishna Kumar Jha , Parth Dhatrak, and Pratik Patwe) will share weekly live updates on our journey.
Think of it as a founder’s diary, but with fewer clichés and more real progress.
Follow along if you’re curious about how products are actually built not just polished launch stories.

What are SAFE Notes ?
This is something that keeps coming up every time I see a startup's cap table.
Originally created by Y Combinator in 2013, SAFEs (Simple Agreements for Future Equity) have become the go-to for early-stage fundraising more so at the Seed and Pre-Seed stages.
A SAFE isn’t equity yet, however it’s a promise of future equity, converting during the next priced round. This means:
🚀 Why SAFEs?
❖ Founders avoid immediate valuation discussions.
❖ Investors get the potential u ...more

If you need proof that vibe coding is here to stay, look no further than Y Combinator, Silicon Valley's famed startup accelerator.
Startups using AI to write code — and those helping others do so — are cascading inside YC's summer cohort, according to executives and dedicated investors.
YC president and CEO Garry Tan said in March that roughly a quarter of its batch at the time generated 95% of its code using AI. And YC group partner Diana Hu said in a March YouTube video that Cursor had broug ...more

Jimmy Kimmel got taken off-air.
In India, lakhs of patients get taken off-claim.
Same script. Different channel.
One wrong word, one missing clause and your insurance approval is suspended indefinitely.
While #BBC debates #Trump vs #MAGA, families here debate if their hospital bills will ever get cleared.
Health insurance was meant to give peace of mind. Instead, it’s become a comedy of errors (without the laughs).
That’s why we built Claim Sahara by Vertroue Healthcare, Swapnil Kadam, Dr.Sa ...more

🖥️ Just dropped a new investor-ready redesign breakdown!
This time, I looked at Sunflower 🌻 Sober — a Y Combinator Fall 2025 company helping people overcome addiction with visual progress tracking, CBT, and even an AI sponsor.
Instead of a brand redesign (their identity is already strong), I created a set of pitch deck slides to show how they could position themselves for higher seed rounds:
➡️ A minimal cover slide with a clear statement of purpose
➡️ A stark problem slide that captures th ...more

** Deadline tonight: Standard Capital's Series A funding cycle**
Twenty years ago, in early 2005, Jessica Livingston and Paul Graham came up with the concept to disrupt the most annoying thing about Silicon Valley: the warm intro. This is the thing I loved most about Y Combinator. I could just fill a simple form from the other side of the world, and enter the heart of Silicon Valley without knowing anyone or anything about it.
Fast forward to 2025, and my group partner at YC, Dalton Caldwell, ...more

YCombinator's Demo Day is a perfect time to recall what actually happened after 5k portfolio companies got accepted in?
The success metrics are compelling:
• 4.5% become unicorns (vs 2.5% industry average)
• 45% raise Series A (vs 33% for other startups)
• 50%+ are still operating after 10 years
• Only 13% have failed completely
What I found most intriguing is the extreme concentration of returns - just 4 companies (Airbnb, Coinbase, Reddit, and Instacart) generated 85% of YC's total value. Th ...more
