yc day 4
@OpenAI invited us to a working session in their new office.
@shshwt_ now holds the record for $2,600 in token spend in a single day...
excited to be working with the new models and harness to push the boundaries and accelerate our mission to index every inch of the earth.
new product launch soon (:
@strimblez thank you for having us!
yc's motto is "build something people want."
i grew up watching two people do exactly that.
32 years ago, my mom started a business from a tiny basement in india with no funding or family backing.
she believed in herself and set a goal to design and stitch clothes that people wanted.
my dad was just a friend at the time. He helped out while waiting for his u.s. master's visa.
when the opportunity finally came, he made the biggest decision of his life and turned it down because he believed in her.
they built the business together. somewhere along the way, they fell in love and got married. three decades later, they still run it.
their success came from caring deeply. they remembered the small details, went above and beyond for every customer, and treated employees like family.
some of those customers and employees have been with them for more than 20 years.
over the years, they served more than 100,000 people without spending a dollar on marketing.
all word of mouth. their customers became their community and that community became their growth engine.
what I learned from them is simple:
- do the unscalable things to build trust and relationships.
- conviction comes before evidence.
- show up every single day.
through every high and low, i never felt the weight of the business at home. only now do I understand how deliberate that was. the journey always mattered more to them than the milestones.
no matter how ambitious or delusional my ideas sounded, i was never told to play it safe. they believed in me unconditionally.
looking back, it was probably inevitable that i would start something of my own.
i grew up curious about the physical world. scout camps, books, questions like why one crop grows only in a dry season or why the same storm floods one town and not the next.
that curiosity is a big part of why we are building @MireyeHQ (YCS26).
ai agents are starting to act in the real world, but they can't reliably understand it. ask a model a specific question about a specific place and it guesses.
we’re building the infrastructure to change that. our mission is to index every inch of the earth and make it as queryable as the web.
for three decades, my parents built something people wanted.
now it is our turn.
believe it or not, the world's entire population can fit inside this cube in new york city
that means we can move everyone here and use the rest of the planet to build data centers to run agentic workflows
seems like a no brainer to me
