Right now, I'm just trying to see through the next year or two.
I think of that meme on the internet where everyone in the world is dancing.
And then there's this one lonely person in the corner, and they're alone.
And it's like, AI is changing everything.
And then everyone's dancing.
Everyone's just doing their thing.
I think it's called literally the they don't know meme.
Right now, we're just trying to figure out, how do we change ourselves?
We always built software to make YC awesome.
That when Paul Graham first started taking applications...
He famously made his own software.
You would go on the website and he made his own web app that would allow them to review thousands of applications.
Now we're in that next moment, going back to this AI tutor that will teach you how to vibe code.
What if it also helped us figure out and identify the people who should get million-dollar token grants?
That's what we're asking all the time.
We're here to try to help the people who are like us from when we were 18 to 30 or whatever, just earlier in our careers.
How do we actually find those people and help them?
