Founder at Ghost Protocol | Building Decentralized Mesh Networks (SiO2-Neural-v1) | YC Applicant 🚀[cite: 2025-12-31]
Posted 15h ago
Eng
The world doesn't need the internet to stay connected. 🌍🚀
I am 13, and I’ve spent the last few months building OMNI — The Decentralized Mesh Economy.
Most startups focus on apps, but I wanted to solve the infrastructure problem. I engineered the SiO2-Neural-v1 engine to allow devices to sync and communicate in 100% Airplane Mode. No Wi-Fi, no cellular towers, no central control [cite: 2025-12-24, 2025-12-31].
In my latest demo, I successfully synced 5 nodes simultaneously without a single byte ...more

We just onboarded 5 engineers who can rewrite your core infrastructure this weekend.
This is not a hiring post.
This is a systems-level unlock.
These aren’t React devs.
They’re systems builders.
• IIT (CS / Elec)
• JEE Advanced < 200
• Built compilers, OS components, low-latency engines
• Comfortable with C++, Rust, distributed systems
They already have top-tier HFT / quant offers.
But they don’t start for a few months.
They’re bored.
They want to ship.
And they specifically want to work w ...more

Happy New Year!
2025 was a year of transformation. My goal was simple: learn Python and AI. What I accomplished exceeded my wildest expectations.
As a Sr. Atlassian Administrator at Proofpoint, I dove headfirst into AI—using Claude Code to build Forge apps for Jira that streamline our workflows. But I didn't stop there.
I built two complete applications from scratch, with 100% of the code written using Claude Code:

Long time no see 👋
I’ve been a bit quiet here over the past few months. After finishing my graduate studies at the University of Michigan, I took some time to step back, reflect, and think carefully about what I wanted my next chapter to look like.
My training at Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning, University of Michigan, alongside the University of Michigan - School of Information, shaped how I think about cities as systems — especially where policy, design, and implementation ...more

Most founders spend months pitching—and still get rejected. But some programs are literally waiting to fund startups right now.

Today’s update is the YC application tracker, a feature to help keep your applications organized.

"Is YC still worth it in 2025?"
Founder Question: "Is Y Combinator still worth it in 2026?"
Answer from evaluating YC + non-YC outcomes:
YC isn't magic. It's leverage.
4 ways YC still creates asymmetric advantage:
1️⃣ Instant credibility with institutional VCs
"YC S25" on deck = you pass first filter. Non-YC = you're explaining yourself.
2️⃣ Investor batching effect
250+ investors showing up to Demo Day > you cold-emailing 250 investors. Time compression matters.
3️⃣ Alumni network density

1️⃣ “Raising Funds Without Losing Control? Consider a SAFE Agreement”
A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity)—popularised by Y Combinator—is a startup funding instrument where investors provide capital today in exchange for the right to receive equity at a future date, typically during a priced funding round or exit, without treating the investment as debt.
Early-stage startups often struggle with one key question:
How do we raise capital without losing control too early?
This is where a ...more

I listened to a recent Y Combinator podcast, "What Surprised Us Most In 2025," which reveals a significant shift in the AI economy, with Anthropic now leading OpenAI as the preferred model among YC startups. This change, with over 52% of the latest batch using Anthropic's API, signals a diversification in the market and a move towards a more stable, 'buildable' AI ecosystem.

The Brazilian Y Combinator Mafia has now raised over $343M in total funding.
You don’t need to leave Brazil to build a world-class company. These YC founders are scaling from São Paulo and across the country by blending Y Combinator’s Bay Area playbook — fast feedback loops, small teams, rapid shipping, and relentless product focus — with a deep understanding of the massive LatAm market.
That mix is creating powerful, localized advantages that are hard to replicate anywhere else.
