@smthomas3 @abhiaiyer If Knicks beat Olden State in the finals that would be so crazy
YC S26 kicked off this week and @orangecollectv is already swarming 🤝 @ryanbed
@shcallaway @sazabi Incredible launch video
We raised $8m to build self-healing software. In 2026, software moves fast. But monitoring and observability are still manual and slow. @sazabi is a next-generation observability platform for fast-moving engineering teams. Not another AI SRE. Not another LLM observability tool. A new, general solution to observability that works for any workload (including agents) and leverages AI for maximum speed and automation. Time to suit up.
“Knicks in five” is New York for “peace be with you”
At the end of the batch, founders often ask about big looming decisions: should they be in-person or remote? stay in SF or live somewhere else? etc The answer is: what would you want your competitors to do? Then do the opposite.

Fred Wilson of @usv actually called the Knicks championship in April. One of the all-time great pickers!
Fred Wilson is one of the greatest VCs of all time. He is also my new partner at @usv and I'm lucky to say that. We've known each other for years, but becoming partners felt like a reason to get to know him even better. So a few weeks ago, we walked around Union Square and
@MichaelMartocci Incredible! Pretty sure I saw my guy @eriktorenberg somewhere in a crowd too!
Wandered around Manhattan with thousands of people until like 2am last night lol. Never experienced anything like that before. Cops hugging people. Fire trucks flying around with sirens and horns going. Every intersection felt like its own celebration. The best part was getting to share it with my older brother.. he's the reason I love basketball! Two native New Yorkers who have been huge Knicks fans since we were little kids. Still can't believe that really happened.
@eugenewei honestly this got me pretty good 😂
