Happy Alumni Demo Day!

I hope to be there someday...

And so it begins...

Exciting milestone. Always fascinating to watch how the newest batch redefines software-hardware integration. Huge potential brewing globally, especially in markets scaling deep tech with precision manufacturing DNA. Huge respect to the builders today.

Alumni Demo Day energy hits different than the first one. The room already knows how hard the boring years are.

Demo Day is the visible moment; the compounding asset is the alumni graph. Track which founders recruit, mentor, buy, and refer across cohorts. That turns a showcase into a measurable distribution system—and gives YC feedback on where network effects actually form.

Demo day is distribution with a deadline. Most AI accounts demo forever and never pick a day. A date forces the offer to exist.

Incredible to watch this ecosystem compound. The density of technical ambition coming out of each batch continues to set a completely new baseline for the industry.

Most demo day magic evaporates the moment context rot and state synchronization hit actual production loads. Real long-term value belongs to the few who solved inference latency over simple wrappers

was awesome to catch @malhalla06 @TheAntheaGuo with @lumeriaskin !!
