Congrats to Motion on their $60M fundraise at $550m! I still remember early in the batch when Harry Qi told me he gave up his seven-figure quant job at 23 to start Motion. It wasn't a tough decision for him, he was just betting on himself.

New YC homepage design just launched! 👀 The last few years have been a return to our roots at YC, so we wanted to capture that with our new site, and show what it's really like to go through the batch. There's also a bunch of fun easter eggs throughout – thread below!

More designers should be founders. And we want to back them at YC. Over the next decade, as new coding tools make it easier than ever to build and ship products quickly, great design is going to matter even more.

Congrats to Sphere on their $21m series A led by a16z! People see the flashy headline, but Nick Rudder has one of the toughest stories of grit and determination I’ve seen at YC. Even people that believed in him in his last business left the company for dead.
