Y Combinator Wants More AI Startups — But in Specific Categories Y Combinator has declared 2025 the "year of AI agents" and is actively recruiting startups that align with this vision for its summer batch. Under the leadership of CEO Garry Tan, the accelerator is shifting focus toward AI-driven products that go beyond hype and solve real-world problems. Rather than broad or general AI applications, Y Combinator is looking for startups building domain-specific AI agents — tools that can handle tasks in sectors like healthcare, finance, law, education, logistics, and beyond. These agents are expected to be autonomous, task-oriented, and capable of delivering measurable value. This marks a strategic move by Y Combinator to fund startups that are building sustainable, application-layer AI companies rather than just infrastructure or foundational models. The goal is to support ventures that bring immediate utility to businesses and consumers through smart, practical automation. Applications for Y Combinator’s Summer 2025 batch are now open.
