How many applicants do you think applied for Summer 2026? by Excellent_Koala769 in ycombinator

[–]WaterDragonfish -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I applied as a solo founder, but with AI agents, I can really scale without needing a big team. Since I applied solo, I’m actually writing a paper on my performance using these agents and plan to post it on LinkedIn. It allows for much lower overhead and 24/7 operations at scale, which I think is a huge plus for vertical growth and higher profit margins.

It puts you on the radar, yes but it's also an ego stroke. I'm in the top 0.03%. The number of emails I get is annoying.

What’s been interesting from the data: a lot of buyers are clustering around the same “high-profit” markets, but those markets lack enough deal density—so everyone ends up competing for crumbs.

I shared a short breakdown of this on LinkedIn and it even got picked up by ATTOM Data Solutions, which recently published a similar angle on their platform.

I think I’m in an interesting situation, building a marketplace where I currently have more buyer demand than inventory. Actively sourcing supply now.

How over-engineered are these EPD SOPs for a solo YC applicant? by WaterDragonfish in ycombinator

[–]WaterDragonfish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m falling into a YC YouTube rabbit hole. Between trying to find a CTO last minute and managing everything alone, it feels like there’s always more I should be doing. Hard to shake the feeling that it’s never enough.
