This is the first YC request for startups I’ve seen in a long time that I’ve found inspiring

I’m not sure the companies who actually have a shot at solving any of them can benefit from YCs approach or even network

Most of the industries are won through long standing insiders partnering with exceptional engineering talent

Not really YCs model

I wasn't sure if it was intentionally misleading, or just impossibly naive. ERP software loved by its customers for its flexibility and ease of use.... For decades, everyone has known that robots are the future... Eliminating middlemen in <anything>... Apple Vision Pro is the key to unlocking "Spatial Computing"... For society to reap the full benefits of AI, more work needs to be done on explainable AI...

Some of these are "necessary but not sufficient", others just plain platitudes.

That may be the best summary of “app startup practices to real life” in one sentence I’ve seen. Kudos.
