Y-Combinatorโ€™s Fall 2025 โ€œRequests for Startupsโ€: Where They Want to Fund Next YC just dropped its latest list of high-impact startup ideas theyโ€™re eager to back. If youโ€™re building in any of these spaces, YC wants to hear from you ๐Ÿ‘‡ 1๏ธโƒฃ AI-Powered Vocational Training โ€ข Shortage of skilled tradespeople to build AI infra (data centers, fabs, HVAC). โ€ข Use multimodal AI (voice, vision, AR/VR) to train workers in welding, electrical, etc. ๐Ÿ’ก โ€œIf you can build one great AI teacher, you can train thousands.โ€ โ€“ Harj Taggar 2๏ธโƒฃ Video Generation as a Primitive โ€ข Tools like Google Veo can already generate 8s photorealistic clips at near-zero cost. โ€ข Treat generative video as infrastructure: โ†’ Personalized entertainment (1:1 TikTok, family cartoons) โ†’ Virtual commerce (AI try-ons) โ†’ Gaming/training (AI for synthetic data) ๐ŸŽฏ The next TikTok or Netflix may be built without cameras. 3๏ธโƒฃ The 10-Person, $100B Company โ€ข AI slashes headcount needs. Small, high-agency teams can now build unicorns. โ€ข Key metric: Revenue per employee. ๐Ÿ“Œ โ€œThe next unicorns will be built by 10 people using $500K and AI.โ€ โ€“ Aaron Epstein 4๏ธโƒฃ Infrastructure for Multi-Agent Systems โ€ข Single AI agents โ†’ fleets collaborating on distributed tasks. โ€ข Platforms for managing agent fleets, abstractions, prompt chaining, trust & cost. ๐Ÿ’ก โ€œWe want to fund the Kubernetes for AI agents.โ€ โ€“ Pete Koomen 5๏ธโƒฃ AI-Native Enterprise Software โ€ข SaaS 2.0: Systems like Salesforce will be rebuilt natively on AI. โ€ข AI-first sales, HR, finance, and accountingโ€”deeply embedded, not bolted on. 6๏ธโƒฃ Replacing Government Consulting with LLMs โ€ข $100B+ market currently dominated by Deloitte/Accenture. โ€ข LLMs can automate compliance, policy checks, and regulatory workflows. ๐Ÿ’ก โ€œLLMs can do what consultants do, better, faster, cheaper.โ€ โ€“ Gustaf Alstromer ๐Ÿ”ฅ YC is basically saying: If youโ€™re building at the intersection of AI x infra, enterprise, or government, they want in. Which of these areas would you bet on?
