ycombinator · x · 2026-09-12
Rhys Sullivan shares the standout companies from his just-concluded YC batch: Hoplite (cloud agents with a polished onboarding flow), Glen (organizational context/memory for agents — he initially thought memory was a gimmick until seeing it work), Context (makes the web accessible to agents; he's a paying customer), and Gitcafe, an ambitious attempt to replace GitHub. The picks highlight that agent infrastructure — memory, browser access, cloud execution — is the hot theme in this YC batch.
