Y Combinator’s Billion-Dollar Dream

Y Combinator just revealed the focus areas for its Fall 2025 batch and spoiler alert—it’s all about AI. The goal? Back the first “10-person, $100 billion” startup by zeroing in on massive, high-impact opportunities.

One big theme: tackling skilled-labor shortages. Drawing on the US government’s AI Action Plan, YC wants startups using multimodal AI—say, voice-driven training apps—to retrain workers for trades like electricians and HVAC techs. It’s growth meets real-world problem solving.
