Just checked #YC ’s most recent “Requests for Startups”. So excited to track the changes in the startup landscape, predicting our tech future. Some updates caught my attention: – #Defense as a new track. Ukrainian Defense Tech is now addressing the lack of technologies aimed at real combat missions in the new war. This sector, which has traditionally been dominated by established players, is now transforming into a more modernized industry powered by sophisticated tech solutions 🇺🇦 – Internal #DeveloperTools. Labs' roots go back to brilliant ideas born within the company, when tech teams saw a gap in their routine and tried to fill it with product solutions. What proves to be useful within one company can also hold value for others. Founders with an entrepreneurial mindset can view internal tools as a great source of inspiration for future startups. Continue fostering a culture of innovation within our company and hope for another YC idea to be founded soon by Sigma Software Labs 🦄 – #AI rocks. YC once again proves the transformative potential of AI in various fields such as healthcare, finance, transportation, etc. Being already a game-changer, but its full potential is yet to be realized Go here for more details:
