New RFS from Y Combinator: Where the Future is Heading

I always keep a close eye on the Requests for Startups from Y Combinator. It’s not just a list of ideas — it’s a thermometer for the industry.

<p>I always keep a close eye on the Requests for Startups from Y Combinator. It’s not just a list of ideas — it’s a thermometer for the industry. It shows where YC sees the maximum potential for startups and what shifts are happening in technology and the economy.</p>

<p>In the fresh Fall 2025 list, the focus is clear: AI is no longer a feature, but a foundation.</p>

<p>Here are just some of the areas worth exploring:</p>
<ul>
<li>AI reskilling of workers: training in welding and repair through multimodal AI and AR/VR simulators.</li>
<li>Video generation as a primitive: from personalized TikToks to endless games and immersive shopping.</li>
<li>10 people on $100B: betting on tiny teams with high revenue per employee and AI at the core.</li>
<li>Infrastructure for multi-agent systems: like MapReduce, but with LLM instead of code.</li>
<li>AI-native enterprise software: next-gen CRM and HR integrated into workflows, not layered on top.</li>
<li>LLM instead of Deloitte: automating government consulting and regulatory processes.</li>
</ul>
