👋 Hey — Egemen here.

Summer 2025 is heating up, and we are at a stage where you can build full-stack solutions in 60 seconds tops.

On that, Y Combinator's latest Requests for Startups (RFS) is out – focuses almost exclusively on AI dev-tech.

Something huge is brewing up with a lot of tools, today I’m sharing one of my favorites, enjoy!

Here’s a snapshot of what’s on the menu today:

🧠 Deep-Dive: Y Combinator’s Updated RFS

Spoiler alert: Summer 2025 is all about AI-native companies.

RFS is our tradition of sharing ideas we'd like to see founders tackle. These represent just a fraction of what we fund — if one excites you, take it as extra validation to dive in, but you don't need to work on these ideas to apply to YC.

YC’s saying: don’t just build tools but build the whole thing.

I think it goes without saying that anyone with design skills is in luck. With all of these coding challenges down, proper taste in product and UX will win so hard.

If you’ve got strong instincts and can build stuff, you don’t even need to wait for a technical co-founder. YC’s betting big on you.

The cost of building a solution is way down.
Two people with the right AI stack can do what used to take 20.

Read YC’s RFS.

2025 is shaping up to be the "year of AI agents".
We've put together a list of startup ideas that we think are especially promising— some draw attention to trends that are already in full swing, and some of them are where we think things are going next.

⚾️ Catch: AI’s Generational Divide

Sam Altman’s just given a great talk at AI Ascent 2025 by Sequoia Capital.

Older people use ChatGPT as a Google replacement.
People in their 20s and 30s use it as a life advisor.
People in college use it as an operating system.

I recommend you watch the whole thing, it’s more like a short, live podcast:

☝️ Scaled This Past Week: Owner

Owner raised $120M in their Series C round at a $1B valuation 🦄 - it’s the scale of the week!

Tech supplier Owner raises $120M, giving it a $1B valuation

The Series C funding round for the online ordering provider included contributions from the CEOs of Cava and Sweetgreen.

Here’s what Owner does:

You can think of it as Shopify for restaurant owners, and, eventually, all local business owners.
Owner gives them everything they need to succeed in the online future against big corporations.
