We need to learn the lessons from Ukraine. Defence technology can no longer be designed in isolation, tested, and only then delivered to units. The people using the systems should shape them from day one.

An overlooked thing is that no matter how advanced drones, sensors, and systems become, they mean nothing on their own. Every technology begins with a person, a problem and a will to survive.

Seeing Systems launches, Modular Autonomous Drones for Modern Warfare | FounderJournal fondo.ai/4qUQvlT

🚀 Seeing Systems launched! Modular Autonomous Drones for Modern Warfare "Next-gen UAS for the high-threat future." 🌐 fondo.ai/3ZhWGo8 Congrats Alex Le Maitre & Matthew Le Maitre!!

Loads happening behind the scenes! 🚀

Seeing Systems (Seeing Systems) builds inexpensive strike drones designed to adapt as warfare evolves, with modular hardware, simple operation, and an agentic control system built in collaboration with Royal Marine Commandos and other NATO forces. Congrats on the launch Alex Le Maitre and

congrats to the Seeing Systems team on YC W26. interesting problems to be working on. Alex Le Maitre

.Laurence automates performance marketing for CPG brands, starting on Amazon. They use reinforcement learning to set bids, budgets, and keyword targets like quant hedge funds trade markets: continuous optimization on autopilot. Congrats on the launch Matthew Chen and

this badass team of brothers has been working with NATO forces to make a new generation of strike drones. seriously cool company

Ankit Gupta interesting to see YC in defense tech. modular hardware + simple operation = critical for field conditions.

Our greatest industrialists built generational businesses to their final days and spent the profits building institutions to benefit the common man and our nation. Today our “entrepreneurs” build glorified gambling apps draining everyday people of their savings and sell

if someone is willing to put their life on the line, they deserve the best tools we can give them.

A few Y Combinator batch companies are going to conferences this Feb and asked me the craziest thing I did at a conference. Then I remembered the #FocalTruckSlideShow that Mike and I ran for $12k at NRF, and got 70k retailers to know about us.... until NYPD threatened to call

tony stark just had unlimited api tokens

NATO: "We are fucked!" 10 Ukrainian soldiers eliminated 2 NATO battalions in a half a day of training. So, the myth of all-powerful NATO that can stop Russia is no more. WSJ: NATO forces were horrible and wiped out in a 16,000-troop drill in Estonia. 1/

Ok Claude, tell me how to capture the President of Venezuela without any of our guys dying. Make no mistakes.

This should really put the force multiplier effect of drones into perspective! We NEED better drone adoption! This can be supported with the right tech!

10 Ukrainian soldiers eliminating 2 NATO battalions in a half a day of training Drones are clearly a huge force multiplier! Let’s listen and learn before it’s too late 🫡

It’s pretty funny to me that I didn’t even know about Y Combinator until last year and now we’re halfway through the batch!

For the defense founders asking about YC: if you’re doing it with or without them, you’ve got nothing to lose by applying!
