Founders

So many B2B startups in YC W24 cohort.
I haven't looked at past cohorts but I suspect this has been a trend for a while now.

We need more consumer plays.

I guess B2B has a clearer playbook.

Very likely.

Their "request for startups" is very B2B and AI heavy.

I’m guessing the YC thesis this batch is throw AI at enterprise.

tech vs. absurd – You're not real – /sauce – /cto

No easier way to "build something people want" than B2B and SaaS.

bingo. YC has been biased towards B2B for a few years now.

Consumer hasn’t been well-received by U.S. VCs for a while, so that’s regular programming

The b2b dominance has been the case for the last 5-10 years

Spreading out seems better… combine b2b and b2c. Ergodic strategies.
