Y COMBINATOR STARTUPS ARE FASTEST GROWING, MOST PROFITABLE IN FUND HISTORY BECAUSE OF AI

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The latest cohort of Y Combinator startups is growing significantly faster than past cohorts - and with actual revenue. The entire batch in aggregate grew 10% per week over the last nine months. Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan attributes the growth spurt to leaps in artificial intelligence. AI's ability to subsidize an otherwise heavy workload has allowed these companies to build with fewer people. 95% of the code was written by AI for about a quarter of the current Y Combinator startups. While there's a ton of hype, the startups are actually getting commercial validation.
