Infinia's partnership with @hello_clever is yet another clever move! API-to-API leverage. Global commerce instantly connected to local rails.
Congrats @ianaiurwicz @AleRettig & both teams from @DecacornVC 👏

By 2028, $700B+ will flow into AI hardware, yet GPU deals still happen via broker chats.
@stoaexchange is building the financial exchange for compute🚀
@DecacornVC is proud to write their first VC check for an oversubscribed YC round 🤝 @beratcelik0, @erenberke0 & @kaan_yigit0

My batchmates Jason took notes from the kick off of our S09 batch. Amazing how this advice has stood the test of time.
s/house in Mountain View/apt in Dogpatch
I just found my notes from PG from opening day of my Summer 2009 YC Batch (April 20th 2009 - the last day of interviews, 5 weeks before the batch began)
My notes from PG's talk:
Most important advice: Start now.
You are now part of the YC mafia--they will help you. ask them. The network is also protection. No one will mess with you out of fear of pissing off the network.
You don't have to do anthing though--it's your company.
Dinners are often tuesday night but not always if there is a superstar CEO.
Prototype day is in ~1 month, where you show everyone your progress.
Rehearsal day is a week before demo day
Second most important advice: it's all about the product. Build something that people want and focus on nothing else fo rnow.
Start-ups die of suicide, either by building something people don't care about--the back button kills you or by squabbles amongst founders
Don't be surprised if you have some disasterous problem. We're used to it.
Office hours with us last forever--only the dinners stop.
Don't raise money now. You simply can't focus on the product and raising money. You'll have plenty of opportunities at demo day.
Investors are definitely still investing in YC companies. it's like there's no recession for us. Valuations were lower, but everyone that should've been funded got funded in the last batch.
Given the recession, if you can say you're profitable on demo day, even Ramen profitability, do it.
You should read everything on my website. Those essays are for you. It's like my FAQ. Don't ask me questions that are there.
You'll get Founders at Work on the first dinner
You're the 9th batch. 140 companies now.
Every dinner is super confidential.
Email any yc company and get their stuff for free.
Everyone should live in a house in Mountain View
Everyone had really, really tough interviews. Very few had interviews over 10 minutes.
830 applications, 27 companies accepted.
Space is the next frontier for harnessing technology to create abundance for planet Earth. And @TurionSpace is among the handful credible players who are at the front and centre of this bold endeavor! @RyanWesterdahl
Massive milestone for @anandchat & @dili_ai team on the $15M Series A!
Infra projects can't afford compliance errors. Dili fixes this with an AI engine built for zero-error operations.
Congrats on the explosive 500%+ growth, @DecacornVC is proud to be an early backer! 🚀
Today we're announcing that @dili_ai has raised a $15M Series A led by @khoslaventures , alongside @ycombinator , Brick & Mortar Ventures, and Allianz to reinvent professional services for capital projects.
In just 6 months since our round, Dili has grown more than 500% - powering high-stakes compliance, monitoring, and audit across 700+ projects representing $4B of project spend.
Fortune 500 clients building some of America's largest energy and infrastructure projects work with Dili to speed up project delivery alongside 1000+ developers, EPCs, and contractors.
America is going through a once-in-a-generation infrastructure buildout. One missed PWA or Davis Bacon compliance requirement can put hundreds of millions of dollars at risk, creating an urgent need for 100% visibility across every project portfolio.
To our incredible customers and partners - this wouldn't have been possible without you.
Thanks to @vkhosla , @hari_arul , @garrytan , @darrenbechtel and our existing investors for their support.
If you want to be at the frontier of AI applied to the real world - come join us!
That’s a Marvel !
DROID.002 successfully executed a live on-orbit evasive maneuver during Exercise SALITRE 2026 in response to a simulated threat, marking the first time a commercial satellite has demonstrated the capability in a combined multinational exercise.
The maneuver was coordinated with real-time alerts from the Joint Commercial Operations team, highlighting how commercial operators can contribute alongside government and international partners during complex space operations.
We're looking forward to continuing that work at PANAMAX 2026 later this summer.

We believe @TurionSpace is making history in #SpaceExploration for greater abundance of mankind!
@DecacornVC is their early backer and doubled up in the just minted Series B(oversubscribed).
Best wishes and grateful thanks to @RyanWesterdahl and the entire crew @TurionSpace
July 20, 1969: Proof that audacious dreams are the engine of human progress. 🚀
The Apollo 11 Moon landing wasn't just an engineering triumph; it proved that when we dare to aim for the impossible, we elevate our collective potential.
Every giant leap begins with people willing to solve uncharted problems.
Today, the Turion team is proud to carry that spirit forward, tackling the next generation of space challenges to build a sustainable future beyond Earth.

Next stop for AI compute: Orbit.
Taking AI to the next level—literally. 🚀
SpaceXAI and @AnthropicAI have also expressed interest in partnering to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity
Congrats to @TurionSpace on the close of $75M+ Series B! This marks an inflection point to accelerate production. Turion has focused on building the most capable orbital spacecraft & infra for new space economy since 2021. The future of space isn't waiting and neither is Turion.
This unprecedented deal will cost @SpaceX $250B, boosting its armament, months ahead of the most storied IPO in history, touted to be the largest ($50B) at peak value ($1.5T) IPO, ever. It is another warning shot across the bow of @OpenAI and @Microsoft !
Here’s what people missed
It's more than dislodging $MSFT!
$GOOGL owns the full AI stack:
Trained Gemini3 on TPUs not GPUs (❌$NVDA/$AMD)
Hardware (TPU)
Datacentres (Global)
Cloud (GCP)
Model (Gemini)
Apps (Workspace)
OS (Android)
$GOOGL will win the AI race. OpenAi-Damp squib?
Our portfolio company @TurionSpace recently joined @USSpace_Force & @NROx_gov leaders for private dinner to discuss the future of national defense including Operation Golden Dome to which Turion's DROID.alpha & Starfire tech align perfectly🚀 #SpaceTech

Thrilled to share that @AnthropicAI has cited @MechaHealth (YC W25)'s work as the canonical reference for mechanistic interpretability in medical imaging, in their latest research update; their distillation algorithms made @DecacornVC bet on them early.
